Production

Director Tak Sakaguchi had only 12 days to shoot the entire film. To make the film on this scale, he decided to bring in his friend and fellow director Yūdai Yamaguchi to also direct the film. Yakuza Weapon is an adaptation of the manga Gokudō Heiki (1996) by Ken Ishikawa. Yamaguchi felt that adapting a manga gave the story a wider appeal than his other film works such as Battlefield Baseball and Deadball.
