Overview

Ryuichi Umezawa is the firstborn child of the Minato Ward of Neo-Tokyo's Oyabun, Kenji Umezawa of the Umezawa-gumi. He is the "Shateigashira" (second leuitenant) of the clan and local boss of the Seattle presence of the Umezawa-gumi. While respectful of Yakuza tradition, he is not quite as conservative as his father, particularly where the manpower resources come from to handle the crime syndicate's affairs. Like most Japanese Humans, Ryuichi has a bias against metahumans not of the mainbreed Human type, but is more willing to employ them than either his father or most other Yakuza. Further, he is surprisingly less biased against women than most others in the Japanese underworld. It is for this reason (and to put Kenji Umezawa's mind a bit more at ease) that he took his younger sister, Sasori Umezawa, to live with him in the Loveland area of Seattle's Puyallup district. As this area is known for its Yakuza population and the stiff grip the syndicate's gangs have over the surrounding area, it serves as something of a stronghold and staging area for the Umezawa-gumi, which Ryuichi himself represents as the clan's underboss in Seattle.

Ryuichi and Sasori's relationship is deep; Sasori herself has a closer and more favourable relationship with her older brother than she does with her parents and the situation is similar for Ryuichi, considering his relationship to their father has become closer to boss and subordinate than father and son. While he is quite protective of his younger sister, willing to brutally kill someone for so much as looking at her with disrespect, he also recognizes her marketable decking skills as a shadowrunner and acts as a fixer as well as a point of contact for certain things such as weapons, fake IDs, and drugs should the need arise. He is also responsible for teaching Sasori how to shoot.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
Armorer services	As a ranking Yakuza lieutenant of the Umezawa-gumi, Ryuichi has access to most weapons and armour available to the majority of the criminal underworld. He can also be asked to find rarer, more restricted, and/or more expensive items through his connections within the UCAS and the JIS, although success may depend on the fluctuations of underworld politics.
Fake SIN	Ryuichi has the connections and the leverage to manage fake SINs for members of his clan and for paying clients.
Drugs	Apart from weapon smuggling/distribution, indentured sex-workers, and fake SIN generation, drugs are a large source of revenue for the Umezawa-gumi. From BTLs to Psyche, if a junkie needs a fix, an Umezawa dealer is as good a score as nearly any.
