Biography

Retribution

Enemy of the Underworld

Like his cousin Kenshi, Takeda was raised a Yakuza. Unlike him, Takeda enjoyed this lifestyle. That's why he was chosen to end Kenshi’s crusade against his masters.

The fight mortally wounded Takeda. Unwilling to let his cousin die, Kenshi rushed him to the nearest help: the Shirai Ryu.

Even after Takeda was healed, Kenshi wouldn't release him. He feared that the Yakuza might kill him for failing his mission. Takeda resisted, attempting escape repeatedly.

But as the months passed, he began to appreciate the Shirai Ryu’s selfless commitment to Earthrealm, and the contrast to his past lifestyle.

Inspired by the Shirai Ryu, Takeda swore to rip up Earthrealm's underworld by the roots. But he soon learns they are stronger and more tangled than he ever thought possible.

Ending

To kill a snake, you cut off its head. Or in the Yakuza’s case, its heads.

Kenshi said I couldn’t do it. But he didn’t know what I knew: that the families’ bosses were meeting to talk shop and settle disputes. In one fell swoop, I could decapitate them all.

As they nursed whiskey and negotiated, I waited. My moment came, then was cut short, when a fiery portal opened.

Out of it stepped men I’d never seen before. And from the bosses’ low bows and averted eyes, I could tell they were the ones really in charge.

Listening in, I learned they run the Red Dragon, an ancient clan secretly behind all of Earthrealm’s crime families!

I could crush the Yakuza, but these Red Dragon would simply replace it; probably with something even worse…

I’m facing a powerful new enemy in my war on the underworld. One I never saw coming. And I’ve got to finish them or die trying.
