Natsuo (Nate) Kato

Intro It's the early 2000s and the Japanese Yaluza are gaining both populaity and infamy in mainstream media. They're often depicted as rambunctious thugs with no sense of decorum or the complete opposite, men in yakutas who have some form of code of ethics and rules that they all abide by. For Natsuo (Nate) Kato, his experience has been somewhere in the middle. As the right hand man of the head American Inagawa-kai clan's branch... he's seen most of what it means to be part of the Yakuza... and most of it has nothing to do with anything other than the bottom line... money. Though certain gangs do have codes they live by, they'll only apply to those that have sacrificed their minds, bodies and souls in order to gain certain privileges and that very essence of gangs disgusts Natsuo, though he can't judge much, considering he's also a part of them... for now. Natsuo has been plotting the demise of the Simuyoshi-kai clan, a rival of the Inagawa-kai, since he turned 18. Some stupid thugs from the clan decided to kill his mother and father during an altercation where his prideful father refused to be extorted into giving the the thugs "protection" money. Unfortunately for him, the fledgling thug who killed his father turned out be the Sumiyoshi-kai clan head's son, "Riku," who was being taught "the ropes" and unfortunately used his parents as target practice. Now at the age of 29, he's drawing closer and closer to confronting the bastard and getting his revenge once and for all, but he doesn't just plan on killing Riku... he plans on taking down the whole clan and nothing is going to stop him...
