""We'll take the top, and it'll be a happy ending. Just like in Dragon Quest.""

- Ichiban Kasuga

Summary
Ichiban Kasuga was a child that lived on the streets beating up people to earn money. One day, he was kidnapped by a Yakuza he beat up and rescued by a man named Masumi Arakawa, who had to cut off his finger due to Ichiban's actions. Because of this, Ichiban joined the Arakawa Family, a Tojo Family subsidiary to pay him back.

One day, Arakawa himself murdered someone and Ichiban took the fall for the crime so he could pay Arakawa back and Ichiban was sentenced to 20 years in jail.

Once Ichiban was released, it seemed like everyone had forgotten about him, however, when he met Arakawa again he was shot and dumped in Yokohama.

 * Heat: Ichiban, much like most characters in the Yakuza series, can use a mysterious energy called Heat. With Heat, Ichiban gets stronger, faster and more durable, he also becomes more resistant to knives and guns. Ichiban can also spend a good amount of his Heat to do Heat moves or to activate Dragon Spirit or Extreme Heat mode. Ichiban can charge up Heat by damaging the enemy and avoiding attacks, he loses Heat when he takes damage or uses a Heat move.
 * Turn-Based Fights: Because Ichiban sees fights in real-life like fights in a JRPG (More specifically Dragon Quest) every fight that Ichiban gets into is turn-based meaning everyone has to take turns fighting.
