Hiko was a senior member of the Tenrokai-Gumi, ranking just below Azuma Ryou in the organization. However, his loyalty to Ryou was questionable, and he primarily remained in the gang because he owed Ryou a debt.
He possessed formidable fighting skills and a volatile temper, making him a potentially explosive individual who appeared to be born for combat.
Plot[]
On one fateful occasion, Hiko became inebriated and brutally attacked three individuals, leaving them severely injured. One of the victims was a leader from the Yokomizu-Gumi, one of the city's largest crime organizations. This violent incident ignited a full-scale war between the two factions.
Tragically, Hiko lost his life several days later when he was shot by an unknown assailant with no apparent ties to the Yokomizu-Gumi. Misaki Gen, a junior to Hiko, hinted at a dark and sinister plot behind Hiko's murder. Gen believed that Azuma Ryou, the gang's leader, had orchestrated Hiko's death deliberately. This conspiracy was part of a calculated move to incite a war with the Yokomizu-Gumi, a rival faction in the city.
Azuma's ulterior motive was to exploit the chaos and upheaval caused by this war. He aimed to weaken the Yokomizu-Gumi significantly, eventually overpowering them and consolidating more influence and territory for the Tenrokai-Gumi.
