Presently, he enjoys a position as ''shategashira'', commander of the ''gumi'' 's foot soldiers and enforcement. He has re-married a niece of the ''oyabun,'' and enjoys a place among Sato Kanaga's closest family.

			===Current Events===
			Kurosawa was recently laid low as his daughter revealed his betrayal of his own wife. His position collapsed due to the political fallout, his backroom dealings behind the Oyabun's back making him unable to keep the position of ''shategashira'' any longer. Filial connections have kept him from being ousted or killed outright - he remains married to the Oyabun's niece, after all - but he has been laid low, rendered a mere enforcer in an organization he once ran.

			His resentment is eternal.

			His desperation to find a new place in the sun burns just as strong as it did when he was young.

	It was his bad luck, however, that on a night of drinking one of those opportunistic murders had been the son of [[Maasaki Watada]], lieutenant of the [[Watada-gumi]] and himself the son of [[Akira Watada]], the late ''oyabun''. While clinging tightly to "traditional values" themselves, the [[Watada-gumi]] could nonetheless tolerate such extrajudicial judgment and violence against a member of the family. Public executions of those involved followed, and Takashi Kurosawa, recognizing the danger, organized an escape to Seattle in order to slip through the ''rengo'''s grasp. Though it had cost him his home, his nation, and his culture, he had escaped with his life.

Though it had cost him his home, his nation, and his culture, he had escaped with his life.

	Several years later, still a charismatic street punk, he encounters by chance a Yakuza ''kaikei'' while in the drunk tank, who takes an interest in him. He says he's recruiting for the newly formed [[Kanaga-gumi]], forged from the salvaged men and resources left in the wake of [[Takeo Shigeda]] of the [[Shigeda-gumi]]'s assassination, and that with the purge of undesirable metahumans from their ranks (many of whom went on to find a new home in the [[Kenran-kai]]), the gumi was in need of good men and new muscle. Though his pregnant wife objected, Kurosawa began a somewhat lucrative career as a Yakuza enforcer.

	Seven years after that, in 2071, his past transgressions against the [[Watada-rengo]] come to light. (See [[Fennec Bueller's Day Off]]). The ''oyabun'' expresses his disappointment, but offers lenience, in exchange for proof of his present loyalty to the clan, and for proof of the death of his old life. With not-so-subtle words, he is instructed to present his pinky to the ''oyabun'', and to arrange for the death of his American wife. A Japanese man not married to a Japanese woman does not espouse their ideals of culture and country, and yet, a man who would lay hands on his wife is no man at all. Better, then, were someone else to do it and spare him the dishonor. He made the call, arranged through proxy after proxy for a gang as far away from the Yakuza as possible to do the hit, and slept easy. His child, [[Bunny Hop\|Koichi Kurosawa]], witnessed it first hand, and fell into shock for years to come.
