[KHRe] Oniyanagi - Family Info

"This is a group we created so that Ryuu and I can have a place to belong to. And I hope that it would always stay that way for anyone who's a part of and who will be a part of our family." - An excerpt from the biography of Rinko Ninomiya

Oniyanagi (鬼柳) is the most powerful yakuza group in Japan. Kenzaburou Ninomiya (9th Generation) is the current leader of the group and will be succeeded by his two children, Kana and Kurumi. The organization has been led by the Ninomiya family since the first generation of the group.

In public, the group operates a conglomerate called “Ninomiya Technologies” (shortened as "NinoTech"), which has a focus on various industries under the technology sector, as well as having multiple large enterprises within Japan under their control.

HISTORY: Restored to its former glory...but not quite there yet!

The organization previously entered a very unstable dark age during the eighth generation. The 8th Generation Boss led the family under an absolute tyranny, accompanied by a greed for power and multiple schemes for betrayal - one of the main targets being the Vongola Family.

The 8th Generation Boss was eventually overthrown by their own son, Kenzaburou, through a coup d'état. Under Kenzaburou's leadership, the family was able to make an outstanding recovery. There are currently high hopes for the current and the succeeding generations of the leadership to bring the group into a "Golden Age".

STRUCTURE: Is this really a yakuza family? It feels like it has a mix of corpo and government structures to it, don't you think?

Similar to a standard organized crime organization, Oniyanagi follows a multi-layered structure of hierarchy with the Boss (Kenzaburou) having the highest authority within the Family. Likewise, he is also the designated CEO of NinoTech. Whether it be the family's legal or illegal activities, the Boss is the one who get to make the final decisions.

The only difference is that, a good amount of authority are also given to the Family's Executive Council. The Executive Council's role is to serve as advisors to the Boss. Their words having significant influence over the Boss' decisions. But they can also provide decisions to certain important matters when an agreement is reached through a two-thirds voting system with a quorum of more than half of the members in attendance.

The members of the Executive Council include: 1) Any appointed Boss (previous and succeeding); 2) Any formally appointed guardians (previous, current and succeeding); 3) Leaders of the Family's major branches and divisions; and 4) Any member chosen by the Boss to become a member and has also made a significant contribution to the Family.

SUBGROUPS: Dawn and Dusk...

With the succeeding generation having two Bosses, their 10th Generation guardians are split up into two groups. These groups are used mostly for when they're assigned medium to high-scale missions.

The first group is called "Akatsuki" (暁, Dawn), led by Kurumi. The members include Yui (Lightning), Minato (Storm) and Hiyori (Sun). Before moving to Namimori, the Sun Guardian position is the only one vacant, so Kana subbed in as a 4th member as needed. This group is usually assigned overt missions and other missions that involve open-field/direct conflicts (where high bursts of firepower will be needed). This can also include rescuing hostages, retrieving persons of interests (alive) and guarding & escort missions.

The second group is called "Tasogare" (黄昏, Dusk), led by Kana. The members include Rosa (Rain), Rei (Mist) and Shiki (Cloud). This group is usually assigned for covert and clandestine missions. This can involve intelligence-gathering, infiltration, surveillance, assassinations (especially those that are political in nature, requiring care and precision) and the execution of the Family's & its partners' traitors.

I hope this short profile for the Family gave you a little bit more idea on how the Family works! As usual, there's more detailed information available in the wiki page. To be honest, a lot of parts of it are still being developed, but I'm satisfied with what we have right now. If you have any questions about the organization (Oniyanagi) itself are always welcome, as much as the ones about the characters!

I'll end this post off with a heartwarming comment from our precious Sun Guardian Hiyori:

"So...is our group name "Akatsuki" because our fucking missions end during this ungodly hour??!! WE LITERALLY HAVE A GODDAMNED EXAM LATER??!! You're all insane, I quit-- Scratch that, I never even joined in the first place!!!"
