First Love (Japanese: 初恋, Hepburn: Hatsukoi) is a 2019 crime thriller film directed by Takashi Miike.

After taking a surprise punch and collapsing during a match, he is told by a doctor that he has an inoperable brain tumor and does not have long to live.

Leo hits Ōtomo in the face and decides to help Yuri, figuring he has nothing to lose as he believes he's going to die of his brain tumor.

Gondō lets Leo and Yuri go free, leading the police on a chase and seemingly succumbing to the wounds he received in the hardware store.

Some time later, Leo continues to pursue his career as a boxer and Yuri finally overcomes her drug addiction in a rehabilitation center.

The website's critical consensus reads, "First Love's blend of violence, comedy, and romance might seem disparate -- but for director Takashi Miike, it's just another wildly entertaining entry in a filmography full of them.

"[19] Stephen Dalton of The Hollywood Reporter commented that "the Tarantino-style rollercoaster ride is as effortlessly enjoyable as ever, accentuating the director's lighter comic leanings over his bloodthirsty side.
