From The Creator Of Battle Royale
 Highly trained in martial arts, armed with a deadly steel yo-yo and a new undercover identity, "K" must infiltrate an elite high school to identify and stop the terrorists.
Potentially exciting combo of helmer Kenta Fukasaku ("Battle Royale II") and schoolgirl-tease action manga "Sukeban deka" (already adapted into two pics, three TV series and an anime) generates only intermittent heat in "Yo-Yo Girl Cop." Yarn about a hard-assed teen who's given 72 hours to infiltrate a high school and stop an apocalyptic countdown.
Matsuura plays Asamiya, a Gotham street delinquent who's shipped back to the Tokyo police's specials ops unit, given an alias and put under the care of gruff Kazutoshi Kira (Riki Takeuchi). (Pic's orginal title means "Female Delinquent Detective: Codename Saki Asamiya.")All of this is because Enola Gay, an underground Web site offering tips on suicide and bomb building, is threatening an unknown form of death and destruction in three days, and the key seems to be Seisen High. In short skirt and with a deadly yo-yo, Asamiya goes undercover.
A female delinquent detective discovers an apocalyptic plot by a nefarious underground website in director Kenta Fukasaku's take on the popular serious previously adapted for the screen in film, television, and anime form. Asamiya (Aya Matsuura) is a tough New York City street kid who doesn't take kindly to authority figures. When Japanese officials discover a cryptic but undoubtedly sincere threat from a website known for offering tips on committing suicide and constructing bombs, they immediately have Asamiya whisked back to Tokyo, trained by the police force's special operatives unit, and placed under the care of stern Kazutoshi Kira (Riki Takeuchi).
With few clues to go by and only 72 hours to spare, Asamiya must venture into Seisen High and wield her deadly yo-yo against a dangerous group who seems all too determined to set the city ablaze.
