Base Name: Jay Chou
Alias:
With being the head of a notorious gang, there are many names that have become associated with the Yakuza "father", some of which include Japanese phrases for "Father" "Master Sword", etc. A more common name that Takeshi is addressed by is "boss" or "sir"; however, like most gang member does possess his set of own street names. These include Senshi, which means warrior, bushi (武士), which means samurai, and Burēdo, which means blade in Japanese.
Personal Creed:
"The sword was a very elegant weapon in the days of the samurai. You had honor and chivalry, much like the knights, and yet it was a gruesome and horrific weapon."
"You can always die. It's living that takes real courage."
"New eras don't come about because of swords, they're created by the people who wield them."
"A man who can't uphold his beliefs is pathetic, dead or alive."
"A warning is not a threat, but a spoken threat is a foolish warning to give to your enemies. If a man is worth threatening, then he is worth killing. Cut him down before a word is spoken. Otherwise keep your tongue prudently sheathed along with your sword."

Takeshi Ronin Saito was the oldest born son to the infamous Yakuza family head: Hiroshimoro Saito. Quite naturally he was his parents pride and joy, excelling in all tasks that were set before him. However, it was not long after the Yakuza spread its seed across the waters toward the islands of Hawaii that Hiro was assassinated. It remains unclear as to who hired the gun that ended a beloved father and respected leader's life.
With that being said, Takeshi possesses several family members that have remained in Japan: his mother: Haruko Saito and his younger brother, Satoshi Saito, and sister, Aimi Saito.
Is the Character in a Gang/Law Enforcement Agency/Citizen?
Gang leader of the Yakuza
State your Industry and Occupation:
Takeshi graduated the top of his class at the highest institute in Japan, with majors in Financial Economics and Accounting, after which he then proceeded to work beneath his father at his multi-billion dollar company that dealt with some of the highest and finest technology the world has ever seen. Sange Corp. was slowly rises to the top in the markets, competing with the big names: Apple and Samsung, for the right to call themselves the best that money could offer. Every decision was pinpoint and calculating, weighing up all pros and cons before delving into the deep end. There is no doubt that Takeshi learnt his tenacity from his father, observing the way in which he reacted to the competition at hand, and how he handled the business. Hiro was a natural born leader, and soon it became clear that the father's blood ran through Takeshi's veins. Only in his mid-twenties did Takeshi discover the side businesses his father dealt in, and was slowly introduced into the gang, where, in only moments, he demonstrated his own personal control over the lesser members, asserting his dominance and discipline unto those who required it. Father and son grew so close, they were barely separable.
A few weeks after the Yakuza had spread their influential seed across the seas toward the islands of Hawaii, Hiro met an untimely death. He was assassinated by a single, unknown entity who remains but a phantom upon the wind. As to who hired the ghost, this is unknown data as well. But after his death, little time was wasted before Takeshi took to the billion dollar throne. There, he utilized skills learned through his studies and by mere observation to assert his dominance over the company, pushing it forward to a greater success. He spread its claim to the islands, where he decided to set up his station until the quest to find the hand that hired his father's killer was completed.
Personality:
Born and raised in a family with a strong samurai ancestry, the Saito family has always been taught the traditional beliefs and customs of their people. With this comes a strong sense of discipline and self control.
Takeshi, which means fierce and violent, is much like the samurai of the old days. Like the ancient warriors, Takeshi has taken the "way of the warrior" or Bushido to heart, allowing the ancient doctrine to rule most of his life, and therefore act as a guiding factor for all decisions made. This indicates that the path of the warrior was one of honor, emphasizing duty to one's master, and loyalty unto death; with this idea set in his mind, he has converted the Yakuza into a gang that follows the same beliefs, creating a system that has a strict disciplined dogma attached to their name.

Physical Description:
Unique Skills and Abilities:
Strengths and Weaknesses:
+ His cold, calculating, precise mind
+ His eye for detail and keen sense of observations
+ His self-discipline and control in all matters of affair
+ His traditional belief in the customs of his ancestors
+ His technologically intelligent mind
- His stubbornness and inability to see things through another's eyes
- His unwavering pride, which leads to him being incapable of accepting help
Weapons:
While guns seem to be the go-to weapons for the majority of people in this modern era, Takeshi still holds his heritage dear to his heart, making the Katana his preferred weapon. However, this isn't any mere sword bought in Japan; it is a family heir loom that was handed down to the eldest son in each generation of his family, originating from the days when the samurai way was alive in all. The blade itself is in beautiful condition; the steel remains sharp and shiny, while the hilt and sheath are decorated in crimson and gold: his family colours. Sword-play is a beautiful art to him, an elegant form of death; and because of his affinity to the sword, most kills performed by his hand are done by this sacred blade.
In the streets, however, Takeshi usually carries a semi-automatic hand gun; which he still demonstrates a deadly precision with.
