| |
| [[File:Kazuma Kiryu.png|75px|left]]
| |
| Kazuma Kiryu was orphaned at a young age and became a yakuza in his teens.
| |
|
| |
| After his childhood friend and love interest was raped, Kiryu's sworn brother killed the yakuza who did it.
| |
|
| |
| Kiryu took the blame and went to prison for ten years.
| |
|
| |
| After coming out of prison, he was no longer a yakuza, but got pulled back in after rescuing [[Haruka Sawamura|Haruka]], the daughter of his love interest.
| |
|
| |
| The yakuza who raised Kiryu was killed, and Kiryu was named the fourth chairman of the Tojo Clan.
| |
|
| |
| However, after Haruka's mom was killed, Kiryu left the Yakuza permanently.
| |
|
| |
| Kiryu raised Haruka as his own daughter, along with other children, at the Morning Glory Orphanage.
| |
|
| |
| He got pulled back into Tojo Clan business occasionally, but the welfare of the children under his protection was always his top priority.
