==Background==
Eric Tomizawa was born in Hawaii to a Japanese man and an American woman.
He became a taxi driver around 2011. During this time, He'd spend his nights on clubs hitting on various women, which rarely worked. One day, he was particularly drunk and hit on a woman who had a boyfriend, who beat him senseless in an alley. A woman named Marie came to take care of him, and they started dating. Six months later, Marie got pregnant with Tomizawa's child.
In October 7th, 2012, Connie Tanaka, the CEO of a real estate company, had a bag of money robbed and Tomizawa was framed for it, despite there being little to no evidence against him. The true culprit was the leader of the mafia group Barracudas, Dwight Mendez. Dwight used fake witnesses and the aid of police officer Roman Reynolds, and Tomizawa spent 5 years in prison, which could have become 15 had he pledged innocence. In prison, he quickly discovered he wasn't alone in this situation. Marie only visited him once to tell she had a miscarriage six months into the pregnancy, likely due to the extreme stress, and they never saw each other again. 
Once he was free, he went back home only to find that Marie had moved out. He bought a gun fully intending to kill Dwight in a restaurant he frequented, though when the opportunity came he was too scared to do so. Due to having spent all his money on the gun, he got into debt with the Yamai Syndicate, and had no choice but to join them.

Ichiban Kasuga had just arrived in Hawaii, and picked Tomizawa as his driver due to him speaking Japanese. Kasuga gives Tomizawa an envelope with the address to Akane Kishida's house. Tomizawa intentionally goes against the directions tries to mug him, but Kasuga sees through him and knows he doesn't have the courage to shoot. After a fight, Tomizawa eats the postcard and calls the police to arrest Kasuga, trying to incriminate him. Unfortunately for Tomizawa, Eiji Mitamura, a friend of Kasuga's, saw and recorded everything to show to the police. He flees the scene, leaving the car there.
