yakuza. verse info.

     ito reijiro is a doctor living just outside kamurocho and working in his own clinic as a general practitioner as well as trauma surgeon. having worked at touto hospital in the past during the 90s, he was able to break away from the larger institutions of medicine and start his own clinic within kamurocho, notably tucked safely within the kazama family territory. having had to deal with yakuza before in the past, he’s offered to take in yakuza as patients so long as they don’t cause trouble or damage to the property. due to the services he provides to yakuza members, his protection fee is substantially reduced considering he provides free expert care to yakuza members.

     reijiro generally doesn’t mind the arrangement, and his gentle but firm personality typically keeps people from messing with him. however, for his own safety, he carries mace with him wherever he goes, and has no qualms with threatening to cut people open with a scalpel should they try to attack him (he knows EXACTLY where to aim). while yakuza are known to be feared and respected, reijiro often greets them casually with a smile, but makes it known he doesn’t tolerate foolishness, especially in his clinic, where he accepts others seeking his services as well. other than yakuza, the chinese and korean inhabitants of kamurocho are welcome, as well as the regular japanese citizens.
