Toko Credit President

The Toko Credit President (, Tōkō Kurejitto Shachō) is an unnamed minor character in Yakuza 0.
== Background ==
The president of Toko Credit was a moneylender Taichi Kurihara owed a debt of three hundred thousand yen to. He had previously hired members of the Dojima Family to run collections on his behalf. On instructions from Daisaku Kuze, he hired Kazuma Kiryu to collect on Kurihara's debt specifically at the site of the Empty Lot. Although he was never made aware of the reason, this was done to set Kiryu up to be framed for Kurihara's murder as part of Kuze's gambit to acquire the Empty Lot.

Once his money is returned to him, he pays Kiryu the agreed-upon sum of thirty thousand yen and insists on paying him an additional bonus. He makes small talk with Kiryu, asking if he would be interested in working for him, which Kiryu declines. Although they part on neutral terms, he appears to be somewhat paranoid about the set-up being linked back to him, as he instructs his employees at Toko Credit to expect Kiryu's arrival. 
He is later confronted by Kiryu at his office as he feared. Shocked that Kiryu was able to make it past his subordinates, he aims a gun at him in a panic. He quickly loses momentum, however, and admits to Kiryu that he was up to the job, but adds that he did not know what it was a set-up for. As he is about to say that Kuze was the one that told him to do it, he is interrupted by Kuze entering the office. He leaves the office in a hurry when Kuze tells him to leave the two of them alone to talk. It is later mentioned that he turns up dead after this.
