Fictional character biography

Ichiban Kasuga.png

Ichiban Kasuga was orphaned at birth and was raised by prostitutes on the streets of Kamurocho, Tokyo's red-light district.

As a result, he grew up poor and angry.

After he got in a fight with a group of yakuza, he hastily told them that he was part of a yakuza family to scare them away.

Instead, he was brought to the head of the yakuza family of which he pretended to be a part.

Instead of killing or hurting him, Ichiban was let go, and he begged to be part of the yakuza family.

In 2001, he was told to take the blame for a murder he didn't commit. Ichiban agreed, glad to be of service to the man who saved his life.

When he was released from prison in 2019, he expected to be greeted by yakuza. Instead, he was left in Isezaki Ijincho, penniless and alone again.
