— Background

• Kenji grew up in a rundown part of Osaka, and he only had his father. His mother had passed giving birth to him. Kenji's father was not a good man or parent—he was neglectful, and left Kenji to fend for himself.

• Kenji learned how to steal and survive at a young age. He was constantly asking for scraps, stealing from civilians, cowering when his father got home drunk and angry.

• Kenji's father was abusive in a way that went farther than neglect. He would blame Kenji for everything—their financial state, him getting fired from his job, the death of Kenji's mother. He would hit Kenji—slap him, kick him, etc.

• When he was 18, Kenji ran away from his father as soon as he could. He went to live with his aunt, who immediately took him in and nurtured him when he needed it most. He lived with his aunt for years, finally under the right care.

• At 23, Kenji got involved with the Yakuza. He didn't tell his aunt, didn't tell anyone he knew personally because he didn't want them to be in danger.

• Kenji, at first, was hesitant about the Yakuza. But as time went on, and as he climbed the ranks, Kenji became money hungry and greedy. He felt as if he was on top of the world, even as he was doing all the wrong things. He was brain washed for 10 years, the Yakuza welding him into a man he didn't think he could be.

• In the midst of it all, he met Fumiko. Beautiful, young, alluring. She was drawn to his rebellion, the danger he brought. They were young, reckless. They fell in love against their will. Kenji would have done anything to deserve Fumiko.

• Despite all odds, Kenji and Fumiko got married while he was still in the Yakuza. And a year after their marriage, they had a son, Sota. Kenji protected his family with his life—but it wasn't enough.

• Kenji's enemies had targeted his family out of spite. Fumiko got injured, badly, due to this. Kenji was distraught, overwhelmed with guilt that he caused Fumiko to get hurt. So, he cut them off. He divorced Fumiko, and even as it broke him, he abandoned them. He did this because he didn't want them to further get hurt because of him.

• After the divorce, Kenji went on in the Yakuza, but felt everlasting guilt and dissatisfaction with his life. He cut himself out of the Yakuza entirely, wanting to live a new and normal life with the money he's built up and saved over the years, but his past will always follow him and the tattoo on his back will always be a testament to that.
