Battles Without Honor and Humanity: Proxy War

In 1960, temporary leader of the Muraoka yakuza family Fumio Sugihara is assassinated while walking with Shozo Hirono and Noburo Uchimoto. At Sugihara's funeral, one of the guests vomits on the remains of Sugihara and hastily leaves the ceremony. Shozo is asked to find a member of the Akashi family to become his sworn brother. The Akashi's Kobe rivals the Shinwa Group are fighting all across Japan, with Hiroshima becoming a flash point in power struggle.
