A yakuza who works in Yokohama with a perpetual sour look on his face. He's the youngest member in his group. Quick to start a fight over the smallest things.

His father was domestically abusive, and his mother went on to kill his father for committing said crimes. Shortly after, she ended her own life. Because of his traumatic childhood, he refuses to raise his hand against a woman. Now, his younger sister is his only family. They are currently not living together, but he became a yakuza for her sake. His most prized possession is a handmade amulet from his little sister.

On bad terms with the Ikebukuro division leader, Ichiro Yamada.

After the war, women have taken over ruling politics in the Chuo ward and have banned and destroyed weapons. This has caused men to fight through rap battles using Hypnosis Mics, which can be used to affect people's sympathetic nerves and influence their thought process. However, the legendary rap group, The Dirty Dawg, has split up into four groups, each representing a division of Tokyo, Japan and are engaging in territorial battles using words and the HypMics.
