==Strider Hiryu Gaiden==
Two years before the main story, when Mariya started to slaughter Strider trainees for no reason, Kuramoto sent her brother Hiryu to kill her when everyone else who tried to stop her failed. A decision he would later regret as it took a toll on Hiryu’s mind.
Six months later, Kuramoto sen Hiryu on a life-or-death mission to save Dr. J. Hogan from the Zangi brothers and their terrorist group, Phantom Unit. If Hiryu survives he can retire. Kuramoto prayed for Hiryu’s survival.
At some point, Kuramoto apparently visited Hiryu at his new Mongolian home as Hiryu was certain Kuramoto was the only person who knew where it was.
