🚨 The Academy Returns: Order, Pressure, and Truth

The legendary Kyojo series—created by Hiroki Nagaoka—has captivated fans for years with its raw, emotional portrayal of police academy life. Now, with Kyojo: Reunion and Kyojo: Requiem, the journey comes full circle.

At the heart of the academy stands Kazama Kimichika (Takuya Kimura), the infamous instructor whose unrelenting discipline pushes his cadets beyond their limits. Every lesson, every punishment, and every confrontation reveals not just the making of an officer—but the breaking of one’s humanity.

In a chilling echo of Kazama’s own words, “Justice without discipline is chaos. Discipline without heart is tyranny.”

🎓 A New Class Faces the Fire

The 205th class enters the academy with dreams of justice—but under Kazama’s gaze, those dreams quickly collide with harsh reality. Among them is Hoshitani Maimi (Kyoko Saito), a model student whose brilliance becomes both her weapon and her burden. As rivalries spark and loyalties shift, Maimi must decide whether perfection is worth the price of her peace.

The cast includes an impressive ensemble:

• Takuya Kimura as Instructor Kazama Kimichika

• Kyoko Saito as Hoshitani Maimi

• Daichi Kaneko, Yuki Kura, Hiroe Igeta, Karen Otomo, Yuno Ohara, Soya Igari, Aoi Nakamura, and Fumiyo Kohinata

🎬 Two Parts, One Legacy

• Part 1: Kyojo: Reunion – Streaming on Netflix, January 1, 2026The first chapter reunites old faces and unresolved emotions. As Kazama returns to the academy, he faces a new generation of cadets whose ideals clash with his rigid methods.

• Part 2: Kyojo: Requiem – In Theaters, February 20, 2026The final part serves as Kazama’s reckoning. Past sins resurface, alliances crumble, and the line between teacher and tormentor fades in the academy’s echoing halls.

Director Isao Nakae and writer Ryoichi Kimizuka (known for Bayside Shakedown) reunite to bring Hiroki Nagaoka’s powerful vision to life. With music by Naoki Sato, the films promise a haunting yet human look at how ideals survive under impossible pressure.

💥 “The Strongest Are Those Who Protect Others, Not Themselves.”

Kyojo: Reunion & Requiem isn’t just a police drama—it’s a meditation on moral endurance. Every cadet faces a battle between integrity and ambition. Every silence echoes with the question: What does it truly mean to serve justice?

As the final bell rings at the academy, one truth becomes clear—only those who understand sacrifice can stand in the light of duty.
