The Yakuza is one of the most feared crime syndicates in the world. Ruled by the ninkyo and lead by the Oyabun, the Yakuza are known for their strict code of conduct, organized nature and the tattoos that cover their entire bodies.
An outcast and a dropout from society, the Yakuza knows how it is to fend for himself. While he appears gentle, he is not to be taken lightly.
Japan is a land of tradition. A land of warriors. Jiro's mask reflects this. The mask expresses Jiro's love for a traditional Japan, while the bared snarl represents his unshakable determination.
Operating on the streets of Osaka, where being a yakuza was a way of life, it was necessary to be both inconspicuous, and pack ferocious firepower. The Micro Uzi delivers that.
The Shinsakuto-Katana is a masterpiece, but also freshly forged. It has not tasted blood, and has no real heritage or history. It is simply waiting for a wielder with which to create that.
The true nature of a yakuza is to flourish when all seems lost. The brink of defeat is merely an excuse to laugh in the face of Death, and find an inner strength to survive and thrive.

New Cloaker Killing Move
Jiro is an expert swordsman and favors the use of the Katana. Cloakers beware, as Jiro is able to execute a killing move that will put fear in even the bravest law enforcer.
In his youth, Jiro was never accepted, until he found his way into the Yakuza. Yet even here, despite his loyalty and ability, he was never fully embraced and was ultimately betrayed. Following a lengthy prison term, Jiro has come to America to find his long-lost son, Kento.
