About

Kotoge Kabuto is a mid-level executive of the Amou-gumi, a militant yakuza organization in Tokyo. As part of a combat-oriented group, he handles fighting duties but is also responsible for administrative work. In battle, he typically uses a dosu and a handgun, and he is particularly skilled with firearms. His seniors include Kobayashi Yukisada, Noda Hajime, Wanaka Soichiro, Nagumo Kyohei, Kazuki Shion, Nagase Koichi, and Sunaga Hisaya. While he gets disciplined by his seniors when he makes mistakes, they have recently grown closer, calling him by his name, Kabuto. He is most afraid of the unpredictable and eccentric Kobayashi Yukisada. However, Kobayashi actually cherishes Kabuto. He treats him well in his own way as a beloved junior and, despite his unpredictability, listens to what Kabuto has to say. Kabuto is in charge of training his juniors, Hayami and Iitoyo, and treats them with kindness and warmth—though he can be terrifying if things go wrong. He also has connections with Shigeo Ijuin, the famous torture sommelier of the underworld. The Amou-gumi keeps an eye on Ijuin, who disposes of villains upon request from victims, but they do not interfere unless they are targeted. All members of the Amou-gumi fear Shigeo Ijuin, referring to him as 'Lord Ijuin'.
