"Money, women, and violence:
The destiny of young men
swept up in the maelstrom of desires."


The "Dragon" Awaiting Its Awakening
KIRYÛ KAZUMA, age 20
(Voice Actor: KURODA Takaya)

The Tôjô Association--the largest yakuza organization in Japan's Kantô Region.
He is a member of their immediate second-in-command entity, the Dôjima Group.

Losing his parents at an early age, he grew up at the "Sunflower"orphanage
established by the Dôjima Group's lieutenant, Kazama Shintarô.
[NOTE:  Kazama's name was changed to Fuma in the official English translation of 
the first two titles]

And so, when he grew up, as if to follow in Kazama's footsteps, he officially
entered the Dôjima Group. The Dôjima are known as the strongest group of
brawlers among the Tôjô, and Kiryû, as one of its members, is no exception,
slinking around in the Kamuro District at night.

But then, an impossible situation is thrust upon those within the Dôjima Group,
spearheaded by a certain murder in an area of "land sharks" scheming behind the
scenes to drive land prices up.  The brunt of the predicament reached even as
far as Kiryû's benefactor, Kazama.

In order to protect a person so dear to him, Kiryû decides to leave the Dôjima.
However, the 3 assistant lieutenants of the Dôjima stand in the way of his
intentions.

A tiny vacant lot known as "the empty square meter" alone holds the key to the
resolution of this crisis....


The "Dog" Locked in a Cage
MAJIMA GORÔ, age 24
(Voice Actor: UGAKI Hidenari)

Majima is the manager of "Grand," a hostess club exceptionally popular in the
Sôtenbori town in Osaka.  Because of his skillfulness in being able to raise
Grand's popularity in such a short amount of time, people called him "Emperor
of the Night."

However, he is, in actuality, an ex-yakuza in a position from which there is no
escape--and which is not pleasant at all--of a "domesticated animal," for his
betrayal of the Tôjô Association to which he used to belong.

Following his attempts to save his "older brother" yakuza, Saejima Taiga, from
harsh imprisonment for betraying the will of the Tôjô in an assault on a rival
syndicate, Majima has had his fangs pulled.

A single chance is presented to Majima, spending days as the manager of Grand,
from which there seems no escape, to return to the Tôjô.

This chance is that he eliminate a certain person by his own hand....
