Story

 

While completing an assignment for the Daidoji faction, Kiryu gets caught up in a certain incident. Through this incident, he becomes acquainted with Akame, a mysterious woman who seems to be well-versed in Sotenbori’s underworld.

Akame gathers intel from all over Sotenbori via her Akame Network, an intelligence network comprised of the city’s homeless. As a jack-of-all-trades, she often accepts risky requests that most wouldn’t dare touch.

Kiryu joins forces with Akame, helping her complete these requests.

Their friendship deepens as they solve conflicts in the criminal underworld and tackle its poverty industry.

 

■ Key Figures in the Daidoji Faction, the Organization Kiryu is Involved with

 

Kiryu works as an agent for the Daidoji faction under the codename “Joryu”. In addition to his manager, Kihei Hanawa, he becomes involved with several people within the organization.

■The Daidoji Faction Characters

 

 

Yoshimura

 

A manager in the Daidoji faction. A cog in a cold-hearted and unfeeling organization.

Portrayed by Mitsuaki Kanuka

…Kazuma Kiryu. Time for your punishment.

A manager in the Daidoji faction who specializes in violence. Yoshimura prioritizes the faction above all else, ruthlessly eliminating those who pose a threat.

He openly expresses his contempt for Kiryu, a man who shows no allegiance.

 

Boss

 

A high-ranking officer in the Daidoji faction. The general in the shadows.

Portrayed by Hiroshi Naka

If he can’t keep his promises, then our deal is meaningless. Don’t you agree?

Other than the fact that he is a high-ranking officer in the Daidoji faction, not much else is known about this wheelchair-bound old man.

As someone who possesses a significant amount of power within the organization, he demands Kiryu to keep the pact he made with the Daidoji.

 

Head priest

 

The head priest of the Daidoji faction
Portrayed by Ikkyu Juku

We still have a ways to go in our training, don’t we? Heh.

A man who serves as the head priest of the Daidoji.

Detached from his earthly desires, he enjoys playing Go by himself all day long. He is one of the few people Kiryu confides in.
