Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens contains anime episodes 1-12 directed by Kenji Yasuda. <p> Welcome to the seedy underbelly of Fukuoka, where hitmen are a dime a dozen. Among all the oddballs in this lucrative business, one man stands above the rest-a legendary killer of professional killers. Good thing detective Banba is on the case! This pinch hitter never shies away from a curveball, not even when a cross-dressing assassin gets reeled into Banba's hodgepodge team of hitmen. While others may run from this city of sinister professions, this strange bunch calls it home.
