Background Formerly an executive in a different organization. After it was crushed by the Kakusou-kai, he was captivated by their leader's charisma and moved to Itoku City. He now runs a tea shop in Toranomon Alley.

Shop 'Kameiken' (華茗軒). A tea shop dealing in teas from all over the world. A 'hidden gem' known to those in the know in Toranomon Alley. Some people come specifically to see the shop's poster girl, Lingling.
