|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kitsune | Male | Asian | 30-55 | Pragmatic, excitable. As the oldest member of a yakuza family, Kitsune likes to think of himself as the most wise of the group, often offering unsolicited advice.

| Kenji | Male | Asian | 20-35 | Hot tempered, stand-offish. He initially disapproves of Graham due to his mixed background. This antagonistic behavior comes from Kenji's own insecurities about being accepted by his peers. Must speak be able to handle scripted Japanese. |
