Name: Ginji Gender: Male Height: 188cm

■ Owner of the "Emperor Group," a host club conglomerate that includes "Emperor First."

〇 A man of exceptional business talent with branches in Osaka, Hiroshima, and Kabukicho. He views even tightened regulations on the host industry as a business opportunity, expanding his empire by quickly securing properties of closed shops.

〇 Conversely, he is a cold-blooded individual who never hesitates to commit evil for profit. In times of trouble, he is accompanied by a giant bodyguard named "Kazu." He actively involves himself in violence and underworld issues, turning even those into personal gain.

〇 While he usually maintains a detached, airy attitude, he is extremely harsh toward the hosts belonging to Emperor. He goads them into exploiting customers. When top host Rikiya Minamoto neared his savings goal, Ginji forced him to buy a luxury watch on loan to keep him shackled to the club.

〇 His methods are ruthless; he once physically assaulted Rei Amatsuka, who was working at a bar in Hiroshima while lying about his age, as punishment for a disrespectful attitude. Due to this severity, the Emperor Group has earned the infamous nickname "The Advanced Nation of Domestic Violence."

〇 While many of his actions border on or are clearly criminal, he skillfully avoids high-risk exposure. He is bold in illegal and legal-loophole activities—such as moving the underage Rei to underground idol cafes in other regions to hide him from crackdowns—yet he is highly adept at identifying dangerous lines.

〇 He is a smooth talker and a master of manipulation, specializing in making people around him "act voluntarily" according to his will. His management style of skillfully using carrots and sticks became the model for Rei's own sales techniques later on.

〇 While ruling the Emperor hosts through fear, he also possesses the breadth to allow a certain degree of freedom as long as they produce sales. He is the type to tolerate any means if the results are delivered, and he shows a tolerant attitude toward business suggestions from Yashiro Manji Azuma.

〇 However, he never lets go of talent he deems valuable. He corners popular hosts like Rikiya Minamoto and Rei Amatsuka so they cannot escape, while mercilessly discarding hosts who become a liability. He makes hosts write resignation letters in advance; when "Dairoku" and "Aha" were arrested, they were cut off immediately.

〇 He also strictly enforces a policy against letting minors into the club, educating his hosts to kick out underage customers like Oki-chan.

〇 He speaks in a Hiroshima dialect and owns a bar in Nagarekawa-cho, Hiroshima, suggesting he is originally from there. He looks young and like a gentle man at first glance, but his age is unknown. Rikiya calls him a "geezer trying to look young" behind his back, suggesting his actual age is quite high. Incidentally, Rikiya's contact is saved in his phone as "Ogre."

〇 His entire body—shoulders, arms, flanks, and legs—is covered in tattoos, and he laments the fact that he cannot enter hot springs.

〇 He has vast connections and influence across various industries; he can order a low-ranking yakuza to be punished with a single phone call, appears suddenly before those trying to scout Rikiya, and is depicted using detox injections to flush drugs from his system. He is truly a resident of the dark world.

〇 Contrary to his demonic deeds, he is surprisingly a gourmet and loves sweets. He is very particular about Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and can make it quite deliciously using carefully selected ingredients.

〇 The absolute ruler of the Emperor Group, combining business acumen, manipulation, violence, and underworld connections. Behind his airy, gentle appearance lies a cold-blooded nature that chooses no means for profit and a cunningness to maneuver through any situation.
