Kousuke Yamada. Kyodai. Samurai. Business Owner. Family man. Fixer. There are many worlds Kousuke lives in, and all of them are dear to his heart in some manner. His sworn brothers in blood hold his soul and provide him a camaderie and allow him a jocularity he cannot show anywhere else but in the world of Men amongst Men. He is a sworn follower of his Oyabun, another oath sworn in the ceremony of Sakazuki, and thus his Oyabun holds his life. Through his ''Family'' he has been graced the chance to be a businessman, and he runs the hostess club in Fairmount he has been assigned with a keen eye and a shrewd mind. This club holds his pride. He is a loving and proud father to two fine young boys, and his wife is a rare beauty in his eyes, and together they hold his heart. And, most importantly to the various runners that frequent Seattle, Kousuke Yamada is a pipeline to the strict, scowling hall of the Kanaga-gumi. It is he (and a few others, but none as often as he) who dispenses out jobs the Gumi cannot handle themselves without losing ''giri'', and thus must abide (his brothers would say suffer) the presence of runners. And to them, he gives his charm and skill.

Kousuke Yamada. Kyodai. Samurai. Business Owner. Family man. Fixer. There are many worlds Kousuke lives in, and all of them are dear to his heart in some manner. His sworn brothers in blood hold his soul and provide him a camaderie and allow him a jocularity he cannot show anywhere else but in the world of Men amongst Men.

He is a loving and proud father to two fine young boys, and his wife is a rare beauty in his eyes, and together they hold his heart. And, most importantly to the various runners that frequent Seattle, Kousuke Yamada is a pipeline to the strict, scowling hall of the Kanaga-gumi. It is he (and a few others, but none as often as he) who dispenses out jobs the Gumi cannot handle themselves without losing giri, and thus must abide (his brothers would say suffer) the presence of runners. And to them, he gives his charm and skill.

Though a member of one of the most hardline Old School clans in Seattle, his frequent exposure to the shadows makes him more tolerant than his other, more insulated kin in the gumi. He will not judge (harshly) those who do not conform to the hardline nationalist ideals of Old School Yakuza.

His wife, recently, has been suffering from a chronic illness. With pockets worn bare by her treatment, and an unwillingness to surrender the beauty and love of his life, he has resorted to embezzlement from the Kanaga-gumi to settle his debts.
