History Characters / Yakuza6

* BatmanGambit: The kidnapping of Kiyomi was his idea, since he needed a way to convene with Kiryu and he knew that Kiryu wouldn't let the kidnapping slide.

* VillainRespect: Despite being as unpleasant as they come, he has a lot of respect for Kiryu, enough to smash an associate in the head with a non-empty bottle[[labelnote:*]]with the amount of mass along with the force applied, then even with the AcceptableBreaksFromReality of the wine bottle shattering, the impact would still be enough to at least cause a severe concussion. If this was played out entirely realistically (wine bottles are generally made to be quite durable), [[LudicrousGibs the guy's head is as good as gone]].[[/labelnote]] of wine when the guy insults Kiryu.

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: Attempting to eliminate Haruto was his job, but intended to leave Haruka alive. He was also responsible for Haruka's hospitalization, which really was an accident.]]

Han demands they release Yuuta and that the patrons applaud Kiryu's victory, then cordially gives Kiryu the information they wanted. However, when they leave, Han shows that he's so infuriated by his loss that he crushes the whiskey glass in his hand.

* FinalBoss: [[spoiler: Tsuneo is your final opponent in the story of Kazuma Kiryu.]]

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Discovering that he's the father of Haruto, '''and''' the son of Big Roh in the same sitting did not do well for his mind.]] Thankfully, [[GetAHoldOfYourself Kiryu is able to punch him out of it]].

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:Haruka fell in love with him after he beat up a stalker secretly taking photos of her.]]

* WeUsedToBeFriends: He used to be good friends with Tatsukawa, and still kept in contact with him. However, he feels like something changed between them since Haruka's arrival due to suspicions that he's Haruto's father..

** LukeYouAreMyFather: [[spoiler: {{Averted|Trope}} Turns out that isn't the father of Haruto.]]

* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: [[DownplayedTrope ...Not exactly.]] Haruto's sudden appearance has raised more questions in the big picture, and while Kiryu, nice guy he is, isn't at all upset by Haruto's existence, his presence does now complicate things with the newfound danger toward him and his mother.

* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: She knew Haruka from the very beginning, due to her idol past, and believed Haruto's father was Tatsukawa.]]

* ClarkKentBuild: [[spoiler: No, seriously. He doesn't look at all imposing, but once you face him as the final boss with his suit removed, he's shockingly muscular.]]

* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: Someya partners up with Kiryu in order to confront Big Roh.]]

Surprise! The secret infant son of Haruka, conceived during the 3-year prison sentence Kiryu served. After Haruka is left comatose protecting him from what was most likely a hit, Kiryu takes it upon himself to protect and take care of Haruto, while also trying to discover the father of Haruto as well as the motives behind Haruka's accident.

The Hirose Clan is the local yakuza in the town of Onomichi Jingaicho, though it is very small and actually rather humble. Initially an obstruction to Kazuma's investigation behind Haruto's parentage, they become important allies and integral to his search for answers behind Haruka's accident.

The first member of the Hirose Clan Kazuma meets when arriving in Jingaicho, as well as it's underboss. He's very short-tempered and instantly takes a dislikes for Kazuma, but Kazuma eventually earns his respect and loyalty after he saves him.

* AlmightyJanitor: Despite being of a low-ranking yakuza, Nagumo is surprisingly capable of handling himself, single-handedly holding off an entire mob of Korean mobsters for Kazuma and Yuuta.

* MuggingTheMonster: Getting jealous over Kazuma getting better treatment from Kiyomi wasn't his best idea.

* HeroicSacrifice: Attempted when Masuzoe comes to extort money from Kiyomi, and faces the possibility of being beaten to death. Thankfully, Kazuma saves him, for which Nagumo becomes eternally grateful.
* ReformedBully: Before Kazuma's arrival, he would bully Iiyo and the rest of his baseball team, as well as pick fights with random people. Kazuma saving his sorry hide convinces him to shape up his act.
* UndyingLoyalty: Despite Kazuma's technical civilian-status, Nagumo comes to hold Kazuma in very high regard.

* {{Bishounen}}: In contrast to the rest of the Hirose clan, Yuuta looks very baby-faced.

* AffablyEvil: Effectively being one of the heads of the Yosei Alliance, he shows his shrewdness in approaching Kazuma as amiably as possible.
* BatmanGambit: The kidnapping of Kiyomi was his idea, since he needed a way to convene with Kazuma and he knew that Kazuma wouldn't let the kidnapping slide.

[[folder: Takumi Someya]]

An associate of the Yosei Alliance.

* LightIsNotGood: His primary outfit is a white pinstripe suit. However, he's as unpleasant as it can get.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:He is Kiyomi's ex-husband and the father of her daughter.]]
* TattooedCrook: {{Averted|Trope}}. Despite being yakuza, his back is completely free of an ''irezumi''. Kazuma immediately takes notice of this, which causes [[MotiveRant Someya to go on a spiel]] of how the nature of being yakuza has changed to no longer needing the ''irezumi''.

[[folder: Koji Masuzoe]]

Boss of the Yomei Alliance-affiliated Masuzoe clan. He keeps a predatory eye on the Hirose clan due to their lax attitude on bringing cash. It won't be long until tensions burst.

* BadBoss: Said to be feared even by his own men due to his violent attitude.
* FlunkyBoss: He is always fought with a bunch of goons at his side. He can also revive any fallen men by yelling at them to get back up.
* LoanShark: Not exactly, but he has the attitude. In his introduction, Masuzoe attempts to extort Kiyomi's bar for protection money because Hirose refuses to do so.
* PurpleIsPowerful: He wears a purple suit, signifying his status as head of the Masuzoe clan. However, he's an early game boss, and doesn't seem to be high in the rankings of the Yomei Alliance.

!The Saiokai Chinese Mafia

After the fire of Kamurocho's Little Asia, the Chinese Mafia made a move on the city by rapidly building a Chinatown where the destruction took place. However, they are incredibly hostile towards the yakuza, and are willing to attack anyone who even appears to be one.

Leader of the Saiokai. He made his move after the fire of Little Asia, marking his territory and expanding his influence.

* MightMakesRight: Big Roh believes in one thing: Overwhelming power solves everything.

[[folder: Ed]]

One of the Saiokai's top henchmen. He is especially eager to kill any yakuza who stand in the way.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Don't let his tubby appearance fool you. This bastard moves fast!
* AxCrazy: After wrecking a meeting with some yakuza and taking one hostage, he is more than happy to slash the poor bastard's throat.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His introduction involves him causing chaos in a meeting with the local yakuza, wrecking shop, and gorily slashing the throat of one of the yakuza with complete glee.
* KnifeNut: His signature weapon is a Karambit knife, which he uses with scary efficiency.
* WakeUpCallBoss: He's your first boss proper in this installment, and even with the help of Akiyama, Zhang is one tough nut to crack.

!The Jingweon Korean Mafia
One of the other factions to make a move on Kamurocho during Kazuma's absence. The Jingweon especially have a grudge against Kazuma due to being nearly driven to extinction by his hand. The Jingweon's focus is in Kamuracho's sex industry, starting with the old club Stardust.

[[folder: Han Jungi]]

Current head of the Jingweon. A stylish man who uses his charm with women to rapidly expand the influence of his group.

* AffablyEvil: Han's M.O. in his seemingly charming demeanor and manners. However, this hides how cruel he truly is.
* BadBoss: Beating up your own subordinates is enough, but searing the guy's face makes you wonder how this guy became so powerful in the first place.
* {{Bishounen}}: Which he uses to his advantage for business.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he finally meets Kazuma and his pals, Han's first course of action is to slam and press the face of the bouncer who kicked out Yuuta against the yakiniku grill, cementing that this man is not all right in the head.
* GracefulLoser: After losing to Kazuma in the ring, his men bring Yuuta out at knife-point. Han demands they release Yuuta and that the patrons applaud Kazuma's victory, then cordially gives Kazuma the information they wanted. However, when they leave, Han shows that he's so infuriated by his loss that he crushes the whiskey glass in his hand.
* ItsPersonal: Han Jungi's grudge against Kazuma, the man who nearly destroyed the Jingweon, is what drives him.
* MoodSwinger: Han seems to swing from calm and charming to crazy violent at the drop of a hat.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: His hair is bleached white. His heart is bleached black. He's likely not an albino, since his skin tone isn't pale.

!Justis
A gang from Kamurucho founded by Jojima and Wrestling/KazuchikaOkada to take out the other colored gangs in the district, but soon became another run-of-the-mill gang, causing Jojima to leave and Okada taking his place as leader. Kiryu is approached by Jojima to help reform the group by defeating Okada and the rest of the "Six Madmen", all of whom are Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling stars [[AsHimself portraying fictionalized versions of themselves.]] When each of these bosses are defeated, [[DefeatMeansFriendship they join Kiryu's gang and can be used for clan battles.]]

This is in reference to the famous incident in 2002 where he was actually stabbed by his then ex-girlfriend. The widespread coverage built a lot of sympathy for Tanahashi, and led to him becoming the Ace of New Japan.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite being the head of the Hirose Clan, plays around with his subordinates as if they're his kids. However, promo-material does show him pointing a gun rather seriously, so there's definitely more to him than meets the eye.
