Gokusen

Kumiko Yamaguchi finally becomes a teacher, only to be assigned a class notorious for troublemaking. Her unassuming appearance encourages the boys to dismiss her, unaware that she was raised as the heir to the Oedo yakuza family. The same upbringing that makes her a formidable fighter has also given her a stubborn sense of loyalty and justice.

Kumiko must hide her family connections to protect the career she chose, yet she cannot stand aside when her students are threatened or unfairly blamed. As she confronts their problems inside and outside school, the class begins to see a teacher willing to take their side, while the observant Shin Sawada grows curious about what she is concealing.
