The man has no memory nor past was involved in contention between Yakuza (gangsters). It was science fiction + action. The first derector resigned in the middle of shooting, then Yusaku took over it. This is his first and the last direction.

The leading character Fu (it sounds like "who") was strange guy because he wasn't a human being. This title is not Japanese nor English. I'd like to give a good grade on inorganic touch and experimental camera-works though he was a beginner as a director.

This title is a coinage which is not Japanese nor English. Original comics meant AHO(stupid) + PERFORMANCE, but Yusaku added other meaning as HOME + HUMAN.
