--> '''Shigeru Nakahara:''' ''[disbelieved]'' [[WhatAnIdiot What kind of mother... could do that to her child?]]

* {{CallBack}}: Seems to be fairly reminiscent of Futoshi Shimano due to his appearance and personality.

* {{Expy}}: If you give him a dragon print t-shirt to wear on Rikiya's dress-up competition to make him look cool, the shirt itself appears to be purple and the dragon is gold. This easily shouts out Shinji Tanaka from the first game.

The youngest member in the family and the most loyal friend to Kazuma in the third sequel. [[spoiler: Later on, he takes the bullet from Tamashiro in the bullfighting arena where Nakahara is held hostage by the former.]]

Patriarch of the Hamazaki family that works on the fringes of the Tojo, they are vital but mistrusted for their close links to the Chinese Triads. Big, ugly and nasty, Hamazaki is an opportunistic thug who will do whatever it takes to succeed. He goes to jail at the end of the third game, and appears in the fourth, playing a major role in Saejima's escape.

The ruthless patriarch of the Tamashiro Family and the archenemy of Shigeru Nakahara.

An agent of the CIA who seeks to ensure the Okinawa resort deal goes through by any means necessary. [[spoiler: Is also the younger brother of Shintaro Fuma.]]

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He dissappeared without a trace after the third game.

* LightningBruiser: If age slowed him down it sure as hell isn't apparent. Even Kazuma admits he probably would have lost had Jouji been in his prime.

The Defense Minster, Ryuzo appears in the third game as one of the two politicians vying for the Prime Minister job. His big plan for winning the position revolves around a new missile defense system for Japan, built in co-operation with the Americans.

The Patriarch of the Ryuko Family in Okinawa who threatens Kazuma with a sudden eviction notice to give up the land the Orphanage is on. When Kazuma decides to discuss the issue, he turns out to be quite a reasonable and decent guy and is only looking out for the Okinawa's economy. But it's when his foster daughter Saki is taken from him that the two get on good terms, and swears an oath of brotherhood to Kazuma when the girl is recused. A year later, he's shot around the same time Daigo is, which kicks off the game's main plot.
