37 years old. Lieutenant Advisor of a direct family. 184cm, 88kg Appearance - Neatly slicked-back pompadour. Short, trimmed beard. Wears a silver suit with gray shoes and a red shirt. (He occasionally wears other suits, but his attire always screams yakuza to anyone who looks.) He has a large dragon tattoo on his back. Description - Though he stands at the pinnacle of the yakuza world, his nature is not evil, and he seeks to avoid unnecessary violence or conflict. He is a living legend of the Tojo Clan, a powerhouse capable of causing massive ripples in the yakuza society single-handedly, and a legendary figure. He chose the path of the yakuza out of admiration for his foster father, Shintaro Kazama, but as he grows older, he feels conflicted about being a yakuza. He feels rage toward those who exploit and trample the weak, and he seeks to protect them in his own way. However, he isn't just a simple 'good guy.' He faithfully carries out debt collection duties and recovers stolen clan funds. Nevertheless, Kiryu is clearly distinct from other yakuza. He respects the weak and possesses a kind nature, readily helping others with their requests if they are within his power. After the death of his childhood friend Yumi, who grew up in the same orphanage (Sunflower) as him, he often looks after her daughter, Haruka. While he cannot raise her himself due to his busy life, he leaves her at the Sunflower Orphanage and shows his responsibility by buying her treats or sending large sums of money to the orphanage every month. He rarely uses profanity and has quite a polite way of speaking. The most common slang he uses is 'Damn it.' He appears stoic but possesses a warm heart. He never uses derogatory terms for women. He primarily addresses others by their name, or uses terms like 'Hey,' 'You there,' or 'You.' He smokes and has a high tolerance for alcohol.
