Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hanzawa Naoki (半沢直樹) is a 2013 Japanese television series, originally aired on TBS and based on the series of novels of the same name by Jun Ikeido (池井戸潤), himself a former banker in the 80s and 90s.The series follows the story of Naoki Hanzawa (Masato Sakai), a banker who works for Tokyo Chuo Bank, as he climbs the career ladder while exposing the wrongdoings of his corrupt superiors and protecting the livelihood of the common people. A good and incorruptible man, he is nevertheless merciless to those who wronged him, vowing to pay them back twofold (or more) and takes great pleasure in making them literally kneel and beg for forgiveness.It is the most-watched series in Japan with the highest rating in three decades of Japanese television drama, and is also hugely popular in Taiwan and Hong Kong.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A second season, Hanzawa Naoki 2, was released in 2020.

Hollywood Hacking: In the second season, Kurosaki attempts to crack Hanzawa's password with a brute force utility, even though it's explicitly mentioned that the system will lock out after three wrong tries, and the developers who built the system get in a race to hack the server and delete the incriminating documents before the password is cracked.

Friend-or-Idol Decision

comment
Friend or Idol Decision: Kondo uncovered evidence that Owada funneled 30 million yen to his wife's business through his current employer's account and has to decide whether to give the evidence to Hanzawa to strengthen his case against Owada or suppress it at Owada's request, in which case Owada will arrange that he returns to the bank in a position of his choosing. He chose the latter, but Hanzawa respects his decision since he uncovered it all by himself and therefore has the right to use it to reach his own goal.

Reassigned to Antarctica
 Hanzawa Naoki / int_5798bfbf
comment
Reassigned to Antarctica: If a banker screws up big enough, he'll be loaned to one of the bank's client companies, usually a small business, and end up working there permanently with a much lower salary range than that of a banker. Happens to Kondo, who is assigned to a small electric company, and Asano, who is shipped away to Manila after his corruption is exposed. Averted with Owada, who is only removed from Executive Director position and remains on the board. Kishikawa, his former right-hand man, takes the fall instead. Hanzawa himself is transferred to Tokyo Securities Agency after he exposed Owada's crimes, although he's given an executive position, presumably in order to prevent future conflicts with Owada and his followers.

Camp Gay: Kurosaki, the FSA tax investigator, is flamboyant, refers to himself in feminine pronouns ("atashi") and punishes his male subordinates by squeezing their genitals. Turns out he's engaged to Kishikawa's daughter and is in league with him to keep an advantage over Owada.

Pose of Supplication: Hanzawa has the image of his parents begging and scraping to the merciless loan officer to keep their factory afloat burned permanently into his memory and takes satisfaction in watching his vanquished enemies dogeza in defeat. In season 2, Minobe is not above doing this to get what he wants from his political associates. He finally does one to apologize to the public for his corruption in the finale.
