Books like tokyo vice

Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan is a 2009 memoir by Jake Adelstein of his years living in Tokyo as the first non-Japanese reporter working for one of Japan's largest newspapers, Yomiuri Shinbun.

After trying and failing to have the book published in Japan, it was published by Random House and Pantheon Books. Adelstein wrote in 2013 that: "The book is translated into Japanese but no publisher will touch it. It steps on too many toes."

In August 2013 a film adaptation of the memoir was announced. Adelstein co-wrote the story for the film version of Tokyo Vice with American playwright J.T. Rogers, and Rogers then wrote the screenplay.

Anthony Mandler will direct the film, with John Lesher and Adam Kassan serving as producers, and Binn Jakupi serving as an executive producer.
