Description

Kyodai are the right hands of the Oyabun. They work for one Gumi, but their authority transcends them. All shatei will obey a Kyodai’s instructions. Together, the Kyodai manage the day-to-day running of the Syndicate, reporting regularly to their Saiko-komon. Kenichi leads with an iron fist, and all in the Gumi know not to cross him or question his leadership. When given an order the Shaitei follow through without question. Rumours suggest he was once a samurai, given his unorthodox fighting style, but few believe it.
Kenichi’s status as a Kyodai in the Iron Fist Gumi causes his ego to swell, causing him to fight without regard for his safety or that of others in the heat of battle. Oda does not see that as an issue for his Kyodai. Oda encourages this behaviour and blesses Kenichi so that he can get the job done and not worry about the mess he leaves behind.
