Japanese Korean live action film Knuckle Girl will be available for premiere on Prime Video on November 2. The film is an adaptation of Kakao's popular webtoon, and is backed by Amazon Studios and Kross pictures.

Knuckle Girl is directed by noted Korean director Chang and stars Japanese actor Ayaka Miyoshi. The film revolves around a professional boxer Ran Tachibana, who in order to rescue her sister Yuzuki, Ran single-handedly breaks into a criminal organisation controlling the underworld with the help of brass knuckles instead of boxing gloves.

"I am thrilled that Knuckle Girl will be streamed worldwide, and hope audiences will enjoy my character. The role of Ran was very challenging. I'm new to boxing, but had to look like a pro. I hope viewers worldwide will enjoy this ambitious Japanese-Korean collaboration," Miyoshi said in a statement.

James Farrell, vice president, local originals, Amazon Studios, said, "This is the first live-action adaptation of an original web comic and our first Japanese-Korean collaboration, and I can't be happier with the result. We can't wait for viewers around the globe to watch it.”
