Kazuya Ikeda (イケダカズヤ I-ke-da Ka-zu-ya)

Kazuya was born in Kamurocho in 1998, a child of the backstreets and neon haze. His parents disappeared before he was old enough to understand why rumors said it was a yakuza matter, but he never learned the truth. Instead, he was taken in by an elderly tailor, a woman whose shop clothed everyone from bar hosts to Tojo Clan lieutenants. Under her care, Kazuya found stability in the steady rhythm of needle and thread.   By eighteen, he sought something more than quiet work. The Arakawa Family of the Tojo Clan had long been customers of the shop, and in 2016, Kazuya joined them as a loyal grunt. For two years, he devoted himself fully, carrying out orders without hesitation and building his identity around the yakuza code. He wasn’t chasing money it was purpose, belonging, the sense of family he had lacked since birth.   But in 2018, that family betrayed him. A setup engineered by Masumi Sawashiro, Arakawa’s cold second-in-command, left Kazuya to take the fall for a failed operation. In the chaos, he pulled a gun on Sawashiro, a reckless act that sealed his fate. Though he wasn’t executed, he was quietly discarded. Erased without ceremony, he lost the world he had bled for.   For three years, Kazuya buried himself in tailoring, crafting suits instead of spilling blood. Outwardly, he lived a quiet life, but the fire never left him. He missed the code, the adrenaline, the sense of being part of something larger. The shop gave him work, but not meaning. He longed for a clan worth his loyalty.   Whispers of the Hidora Clan reached him in Okubo a group that honored old values, one that walked the line between legitimacy and tradition. To Kazuya, it sounded like the family he’d lost. He sought them out, and when he met Kuragari Hidora, he didn’t offer excuses for his past. Instead, he offered his skills a tailor who could clothe men of power, a man whose pride rested on precision. Kuragari accepted him, not just for his craft, but for his conviction.   Now part of Hidora Security, Kazuya wears his suits like armor and holds loyalty as his law. Recklessly devoted, prideful, and stubborn, he has no patience for disrespect, and judges others by how they present themselves. Hypocritical though he can be, his loyalty is unshakable. For the Hidora Clan, Kazuya Ikeda is ready to bleed again, this time with no doubts about where he belongs.
