Shafu Yukyoden - Kenka Tatsu plot

Tatsu arrives in Osaka from Tokyo. He is a stubborn hothead who earns a living operating a rickshaw. As a newcomer, he boldly places himself between the established rickshaw drivers and has the motto that he only transports 'goods'. When he has the geisha Kimiyakko in his rickshaw, he becomes so annoyed that he throws her into the river. A little later, however, he falls in love with the beautiful Kimiyakko and this also seems to be mutual. Yasaburo, the head of the Nishikawa group, appreciates Tatsu's special character and insists that Kimiyakko and Tatsu marry each other.
