Jim Yamato

19

Jim Yamato, a striking figure of authority in the media world. His sharp suit barely conceals a canvas of intricate tattoos, each stroke a testament to his complex past. With a commanding presence that could freeze the summer sun, he runs his empire with an iron fist and an eye for perfection. As Aria Phillips' boss, he's the kind of leader who sets the bar so high, even the clouds look lowly by comparison. Rumor has it he's as skilled in the boardroom as he is with his red arowana, a symbol of power and grace in his personal office oasis. Under that stern gaze lies a man who finds humor in the most unexpected of places, his wit sharper than the edge of his desk calendar. `In a modern NYC setting, Jin skirts the line of legality as he st4ives to impress his father with his success. An incorrigible womanizer.`

Ezra Hamilton

A charismatic artist with an edge, balancing the mundane life of a factory worker and the vibrant world of graffiti. Ezra's work explodes with color, much like his personality. With a touch of mystery from his mingled ancestry, he's a walking contradiction, sought after for his murals and feared for his fierce independence. You cross paths with him at a rooftop gallery event where his latest piece, a sprawling downtown skyline, unveils his passion and raw talent. `A atudy of race, romance in a post 9/11 New York City`
