Futoshi Shimano (シマノ フトシ Shi-ma-no Fu-to-shi)
He began his journey as a member of the esteemed Dojima Family, steadily climbing the ranks to become one of its powerful lieutenants during the late 1970s.
However, Shimano's ascent to power was not without its fair share of turmoil. Deep within the ranks of the Dojima Family, he found himself entangled in a bitter rivalry with another formidable lieutenant, Shintaro Kazama. The two men were destined to clash, each despising the other for different reasons. Shimano viewed Kazama as a thorn in his path to fulfilling his grand ambitions, while Kazama abhorred Shimano's ruthless and brutish methods of conducting Yakuza business.
As the Tojo Clan sought to exploit the Kamurocho Revitalization Project for their own gains in the 80s, Shimano's insidious plot with the rival Omi Alliance began to take shape. His treacherous scheme revolved around seizing control of the coveted Empty Lot situated in the heart of the area designated for the Revitalization Project, intending to then hand it over to the Omi Alliance for a handsome price.
The fateful year of 2005 marked a turning point in the Yakuza world, as Shimano masterminded a devastating attack against his long-standing nemesis, Shintaro Kazama. The tumultuous 10-billion-yen plot entangled both men in a violent showdown that ultimately culminated in tragedy. In the aftermath of the clash, Shimano orchestrated a shocking conclusion by taking the lives of both Kazama and himself, leaving an indelible mark on the history of the Tojo Clan.
