Hanzawa Naoki (半沢直樹) was a 2013 Japanese television series by Japanese broadcaster TBS. It follows the story of Hanzawa Naoki, a banker working for the largest bank in Japan, Tokyo Chuo Bank. He faces numerous obstacles from upper management as he climbs his way up the ranks.
One year later, Hanzawa is placed in charge of investigating Iseshima Hotel which borrowed 20 billion yen from Tokyo Chuo Bank. The hotel suffered a loss of 12 billion yen and with an FSA (Financial Services Agency) inspection coming up, the bank may potentially have to provide a loan loss provision of 150 billion yen should Iseshima Hotel be labelled bankrupt. Hanzawa discovers that Director Ohwada (Teruyuki Kagawa) was at the forefront of providing the loan to Iseshima Hotel even though there was substantial evidence showing that the hotel was not in a good financial position. Kondo (Kenichi Takito), a friend of Hanzawa who works at Tamiya Electric discovers that Ohwada was also behind an indirect loan to Laffite, a fashion company owned by Ohwada's wife. Hanzawa puts this evidence against Ohwada in front of a board of directors meeting leading to the demise of Director Ohwada. Hanzawa orders Ohwada to kneel down before him and apologize for his actions in front of all the board members. During the final scene, Chairman Nakanowatari is seen giving Ohwada a small demotion to board member while Hanzawa is transferred out to Tokyo Central Securities because of his behavior during the meeting which the chairman deemed inappropriate.
