About the film

Tokyo, near future. Elektra is a female CyberDoll built to provide sexual pleasure to men. Tiger is her human master who purchased her to sexually assault her. She escapes from him, but finds only a world of prostitution for undocumented CyberDoll robots. She returns to Tiger. Tiger's wealthy mother passed away, and he is to inherit her fortune on the condition that he marries. Tiger marries Elektra, but soon drops dead of a heart attack. Framed by the board of directors of EroSynth (the corporation that built Elektra), Elektra is put on trial for Tiger's murder. She is convicted and sentenced to death. It turns out that she really did murder Tiger, and his mother before that! In a remote terrorist attack, she destroys the EroSynth corporation and its board of directors to put an end to the abuse of her CyberDoll sisters. Elektra is led to the electric chair.

— Director’s statement

The idea for "Diary of a Tokyo CyberDoll" was an image I had in my head one day of a sentient sex doll being sexually assaulted by her master. I wanted to make a movie from her point of view...and make it a tale of revenge!
