Kazahori

Kazahori IV (, Yondaime Kazabori), known simply as Kazahori () is a character featured in Yakuza 2/Yakuza Kiwami 2. He is a tattoo artist based in Sotenbori, and the fourth person to take the "Kazahori" name.
== Background ==
A long standing tattoo artist, Kazahori was given the golden dragon tattoo design as the heir to previous generations of the Kazahori name. In 1996, Kazahori laid eyes on Ryuji Goda for the first time. Bewildered by what he saw, he decided to inscribe the golden dragon. However after starting the outlines, his hands froze up and he was unable to continue, and the tattoo was finished by his apprentice, Akina.
Eventually, he decided Akina was the one to inherit the Kazahori name. However his other apprentice, Satoshi started stealing the golden dragon design as to take the name by force. Also meeting resistance by Akina, he decided to dispose of the golden dragon design as if it was "accursed".

Kiryu meets Kazahori by the river when he is about to destroy the Kazahori signature design, and goes on to explain that it would stop the feuding between his two apprentices, Satoshi and Akina.
He later explains the meaning behind Ryuji's tattoo.
