==Involvement==
===Yakuza: Like a Dragon: 2000-2019===
Ushio sells VHS tapes of animals mating to teenagers under the technically correct label of "uncensored pornography," which attracts the attention of the Arakawa Family, leading to Kasuga catching him to confiscate his earnings. He attempts to take back his money from Kasuga by fighting with knuckles equipped, but fails and Kasuga has Mitsuo Yasumura reimburse all of Ushio's fraud victims.
As the years pass by, Ushio eventually becomes a writer for a magazine covering yakuza-related subjects using a camera that he pays monthly installments on. He takes a picture of two Omi Alliance members, who accost him for doing so and threaten to break his camera. Kasuga, fresh out of prison, returns the camera to Ushio and beats the yakuza, which Ushio uses as an opportunity to take a picture for a hot article. While running off, he bumps into Kamulop, breaking his camera. 
Kasuga wants answers for what changed in the years he was incarcerated, and Ushio tells him Masumi Arakawa defected to the Omi as a result of his son's death in 2004. He also warns Kasuga to leave Kamurocho, as he will be huinted by the Omi, and to not visit Shangri-La, but he does not listen.
