Height: 184cm Blood Type: O Back Tattoo: Dragon (Oryu)

Fourth Chairman of the Tojo Clan. Retired immediately to become an advisor. Usually calm, collected, and cool, rarely letting his emotions get the better of him. However, despite being a yakuza, he possesses a strong sense of justice and deep compassion, valuing duty and honor above all. He is caring and has a gentle side toward those in trouble, women, and children. Furthermore, Kiryu naturally displays behavior that charms women, making him quite the lady-killer whether he realizes it or not. He acts as if he has no interest in silly things, but contrary to his appearance, he has a curious side. He can be airheaded and good-natured, and his inability to refuse requests leads him to try all sorts of things. He shares a "brotherly" bond in the yakuza world with Nishikiyama.

Patriarch of the Tojo Clan subsidiary "Nishikiyama Family." Childhood friend and sworn brother to the protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu. To Kiryu, he is truly a "brother." His personality is the opposite of Kiryu's; he is socially adept with a wide circle of friends, though this can sometimes lead to him being taken lightly. He is a big-brother type who is soft on those he lets in, often fussing over them and helping them with all his might. He is a man of many burdens but has a friendly personality. He understands his own weaknesses and moments of cowardice. Now, having accepted himself and content with supporting Kiryu and Daigo, he has become a vital pillar of the Tojo Clan.

(A quote showing the hot-blooded bond of trying to rise to the top of the yakuza world with Kiryu) "You don't have to take the fall alone anymore!"

Back Tattoo: Fudo Myoo Blood Type: A

Sixth Chairman of the Tojo Clan. He has known Kazuma Kiryu since childhood and is deeply trusted by him. Later, at Kiryu's recommendation, he succeeds as the Sixth Chairman. Despite being young (in his 30s), he is a man of strength and popularity worthy of leading the massive Tojo Clan. He is a hard worker who cares deeply for his comrades. He views members as family, continuing his role as chairman to "protect the Tojo Clan as a place for outcasts who can't live properly in ordinary society." This devotion to his comrades also becomes a significant weakness. He is fundamentally prone to misfortune.

Height: 185cm Blood Type: A Back Tattoo: Kirin

Patriarch of the Tojo Clan subsidiary "Hakuho Clan." He has a direct sworn brotherhood with the Sixth Chairman, Daigo Dojima.

Originally an IT venture entrepreneur, he became interested in the yakuza world through a certain turn of events and entered the life at the invitation of his former superior, who was then just a member of the Nishikiyama Family. His skill is undeniable, having risen to a direct subsidiary patriarch and Headquarters Lieutenant within just two years of joining the Tojo Clan. As a former businessman, he contributes the vast wealth built through stock trading and real estate to the Tojo Clan, earning Daigo's trust.

• His personality has rationalist and meritocratic sides. As a former entrepreneur and financial genius, he once believed money and power were everything. He does not let emotions sway him and chooses any means within reason to achieve his goals. He has a bit of a complex and is a hard worker; everything except his face and voice was earned through his own effort, and he possesses a strong hunger from having crawled up from being a low-level thug. He has an abnormal obsession and longing for Daigo. Having grown up as an orphan without knowing human bonds, he places absolute trust in the Sixth Chairman, Daigo Dojima, who acknowledged him. Now reformed, he is called a fanatic of the Sixth Chairman but lives cooperatively and calmly, balancing his relationships with others.

Patriarch of the Tojo Clan subsidiary "Majima Family." Feared as the Tojo Clan's fiercest fighter, he is known by the nickname "Mad Dog of Shimano." As the name suggests, he was once the captain of the "Shimano Family" led by Futoshi Shimano.

He has a highly humorous and wild personality, maintaining a strong presence inside and outside the organization for better or worse. His subordinates in the Majima Family are often at the mercy of his unpredictable behavior and sometimes face unreasonable violence, yet they hold him in awe. On the other hand, he openly hates lies and likes honest people, and is very kind and considerate toward women and children. Though manic, he is not a lowlife and occasionally shows yakuza chivalry. His powers of observation, honed through the conspiracies of the yakuza world, are sharp; his wild actions are often somewhat logical, making him a complex individual. Also, he has a philosophy of researching anything on the internet before starting it. Meanwhile, he is capable of grasping serious situations and making calm, adult judgments when necessary.

His trademark is a snakeskin jacket, a bowl cut, and an eyepatch over his left eye (engraved with a snake pattern). He speaks with a unique regional drawl.

Date of Birth: April 8 Blood Type: A

Second Patriarch of the Tojo Clan subsidiary "Kazama Family."

He has a rather intimidating face due to a horizontal scar running from his sharp eyes across the bridge of his nose. However, contrary to his appearance, he is a thoughtful moderate like the former patriarch Shintaro Kazama, serving as a mediator for the many strong personalities in the Tojo Clan. He is well-regarded for his support in organizational management, information gathering, and reinforcements, acting as a behind-the-scenes pillar. On the other hand, according to Kiryu, he has an abnormal obsession with cold noodles (reimen); if a yakiniku restaurant was sold out, he would reportedly make his subordinates like Kiryu run out to buy the ingredients.

Calm and collected moderate. Known for his composed manner within the Tojo Clan, he acts as a moderate who does not seek conflict needlessly. He is strict about principles. While he values reason, compassion, and etiquette, he also possesses a coldness and rigor that shows no mercy to those who break yakuza codes. As a caring elder brother figure, he is a reliable presence whom Kazuma Kiryu and Akira Nishikiyama look up to like a real brother. He possesses high combat ability; despite appearing mild, he has the "destructive power of iron fists" feared in the old yakuza society and is a formidable fighter who should not be underestimated.

Addressing Others: Kiryu, Nishikiyama, Daigo, Mine, Majima, Saejima, Watase, Ryuji, Ishioda

Representative Quotes: • "That's enough, Nishikiyama!" (A heavy quote where he, who rarely shows emotion, sternly rebukes a younger brother about to cross the line) • "For the sake of Old Man Kazama, we can't afford to have a conflict here."

Patriarch of the Tojo Clan subsidiary "Saejima Family." Formerly an inmate at Okinawa Second Prison. He is sworn brothers with Goro Majima, patriarch of the Majima Family. Long ago, as a member of the Tojo subsidiary "Sasai Family," he was sentenced to death for the "18-count murder" in an incident 25 years ago and served 25 years on death row. However, after it was discovered that the 18-count murder was a setup, he was spared from execution and settled into a position supporting the Sixth Chairman, Daigo Dojima, alongside Majima.

First person is "I" (casual/masculine). Speaks with a regional drawl.

Despite his intimidating appearance, he is a self-admitted softie with a deeply compassionate personality. Countless villains have been reformed and youths have grown after being touched by his generosity and passion. On the other hand, due to his 25-year imprisonment and his straightforward spirit that ignores details, he is quite ignorant of common social norms and values, often leading to conversations with a slightly airheaded vibe. As someone who once dreamed of being a teacher, he is particularly caring toward others, often lecturing thugs who behave tyrannically or encouraging those filled with doubt, tending to teach as a predecessor. Being a stoic person, he was bad at entertainment like women and karaoke, but Majima rates his karaoke highly. He demonstrates his beautiful voice without reservation.

Son of the Fifth Chairman of the Omi Alliance, Jin Goda, and Second Patriarch of the "Go-Ryu Clan." Counted as one of the "Omi Four Kings," he is feared and known by the nickname "Dragon of Kansai" due to his back tattoo.

A ruthless and bold ambitious man, he boasts that he "chooses any means for his goals." He orchestrates large-scale schemes to become the top of the yakuza, tormenting Kiryu and the Tojo Clan. However, he seems to have a line he won't cross, becoming enraged at cowardly acts like taking children hostage, and showing a fair side by challenging Kiryu to a one-on-one fight. In short, he is a "rough man who is ruthless but never despicable."

• Dialect: Regional drawl (rough, close to Osaka style)

Lieutenant of the Eighth Omi Alliance and Patriarch of the "Ishioda Family." One of the three lieutenants serving the Omi Alliance Captain, Masumi Arakawa. He wears sunglasses to hide a blade scar near his eye, and has a very intimidating, manic aura. He isn't just a mad dog who can't be reasoned with; when the Arakawa Family faced criticism and insults from other patriarchs who betrayed the Tojo Clan alongside them, he paid an apology fee and bowed his head with his subordinates to maintain the Omi Alliance, showing a principled side. Ishioda's methods are "sloppy"; he isn't stupid, but he is so faithful to his desires and emotions that he fails to fully utilize his intellect.

• First person / Second person: First person is mainly "I" (casual/masculine), second person is a provocative "you" (blunt) looking down on the opponent.

Patriarch of the Ishioda Family. Regional drawl. Manic but principled. Has a decent sense of humor.
