One Missed Call 2
2005 film by Renpei Tsukamoto
One Missed Call 2 (Japanese: 着信アリ2, Hepburn: Chakushin ari 2) is a 2005 Japanese horror film directed by Renpei Tsukamoto and a sequel to the 2004 film One Missed Call.
Plot
Kindergarten teacher Kyoko Okudera is invited by her friend Madoka Uchiyama to dinner at a Chinese restaurant, where Kyoko's boyfriend Naoto Sakurai, a photographer's assistant, works part-time. The chef, Jianfeng Wang, intercepts the cursed phone call from his daughter Meifeng's phone, redirecting the curse towards him. Meifeng later arrives with a new phone and exchanges her new phone number with Kyoko and Madoka, with Madoka receiving the cursed call immediately afterward. Naoto heads to the kitchen and discovers Mr. Wang dead with half of his face burned off.
At the crime scene, journalist Takako Nozoe learns from Detective Yusaku Motomiya about traces of coal found in Mr. Wang's body as well as the fact that Yumi Nakamura is still declared missing ever since she killed Hiroshi Yamashita a year before. She personally questions Naoto the next day and tells him about the cursed call, the victims it claimed over the previous year, and its origin: Mimiko Mizunuma. Meanwhile, Kyoko's video chat with Madoka is interrupted when the former sees a black-haired figure about to reach her through the phone.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2005 film by Renpei Tsukamoto” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2062601. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005 and 2004.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
