“By 6am” Theatrical Poster
Rina Takeda (High Kick Girl!, Attack on Titan: Part 1, Re:Born), cult martial arts actress known for her real-life karate skills, is back with By 6am, an upcoming actioner from director Munetoshi Mukai (Color of Songs).
In the film, Takeda plays a family woman whose prior experience as a Special Assault Team member comes in handy when she’s called back into action to investigate a criminal organization.
By 6am also stars Rin Marumoto (GARO: Versus Road), Taro Suruga (One-Percent Warrior), Masato Hagiwara, Chie Tsuji (Tamatsuki no Yume), Kinari Hirano (Rurouni Kenshin: Final Chapter Part II – The Beginning), Masaya Kato (Shinjuku Incident), Ryuto (Boy’s Abyss) and Naomasa Musaka (Tetsuo: The Iron Man).
By 6am releases in Japan on October 3, 2025. A U.S. release has yet to be announced. For now, you can check out its Trailer below:
It’s been too long since I’ve seen Rina Takeda power through henchmen. It will be great to see her in action again. I wish she would join up with Tak Sakaguchi, Minori Mimoto and Kunsuke Sonomura and get in on that hyper kinetic level of action. Being a voice actor in Re:Born was a tease!
