Representative of one of the country's leading mega-corporations, "Shijo Holdings."

On the surface, he is a young businessman expanding into a wide range of businesses such as hotels, security, IT, and entertainment. He is also active in charitable activities and attracts public attention as a charismatic businessman with many supporters due to his affability and outstanding management skills.

Behind the scenes, however, he is the ruler of one of the largest forces in the Japanese underworld. He is well-versed in all the interests of the underworld, such as illegal markets, back-alley deals, and information networks, and has an influence so great that even the state cannot ignore it. He is feared as the "Shadow Emperor" in the underworld, but only a handful of people know that his true identity is Riki Shijo.
