- **Event Description**: A rare UK screening of Akira Ogata’s underground cult film Tokyo Cabbageman K (1980). Surreal, anarchic and unmissable.About this EventLei-Lei Cinema presents Tokyo Cabbageman KJoin us for a rare screening of Tokyo Cabbageman K (1980), a cult DIY film by Akira Ogata, showing at Belgrave Music Hall & Canteen on Sunday, 25 January 2026 at 7:00 PM.This will be the first time the film has ever been screened in Leeds.Shot on grainy Super 8 with raw punk energy, Tokyo Cabbageman K begins with a surreal and unforgettable premise: a young man named K wakes up to find his head has become a giant Chinese cabbage.From there, the film launches into a whirlwind of media frenzy, voyeuristic curiosity, and absurd social pressure — a chaotic, darkly funny descent into the strange ways society reacts to anything it can’t understand.The cast features Katsuro Onoue as the cabbage-headed K, with Kazushi Hosaka and Shigeru Muroi.Its distinct visual style is shaped by three underground cinema figures — Sogo Ishii, Yoshiharu Tezuka, and George Iida — whose kinetic camerawork and handmade aesthetic define the film’s anarchic feel.The soundtrack is equally eclectic, jumping from Vivaldi to the blistering edge of Sheena & The Rokkets, amplifying the film’s unpredictable, DIY spirit.About the Director: Akira OgataBorn in Saga Prefecture in 1959, Akira Ogata studied in Tokyo, where he met Sogo Ishii and created his first film — Tokyo Cabbageman K — in 1980. He later worked as an assistant director, then moved into music videos, TV films, and feature films. His acclaimed works include:The Boy’s Choir (2000)The Milkwoman (2006)Noriben: The Recipe of Fortune (2010)Walking with a Friend (2013)Ogata has also appeared in several films as an actor, including Sogo Ishii’s Crazy Family (1984).Why you should see itTokyo Cabbageman K remains one of the most unusual and beloved oddities of Japanese underground cinema — visually inventive, tonally unclassifiable, and bursting with DIY attitude.This screening is an extremely rare opportunity to experience a near-forgotten gem on the big screen. Essential viewing for fans of experimental film, offbeat humour, and the wilder corners of Japanese counter-culture.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/0fa85920-d6d3-11f0-9b22-c5969cdb3f26-rimg-w994-h740-dcbcbdbf-gmir.jpg
