Takashi Kusumi

Takashi Kusumi (, Kusumi Takashi) is a character in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
==Background==
When Takashi was five years old, his father Kusumi committed suicide after being wrongly imprisoned. His mother passed away shortly after from grief, causing Takashi to be placed in an orphanage. Koichi Adachi, the detective who initially arrested Kusumi, tried to fight for Kusumi's innocence but it was in vain due to the police commissioner pulling some strings for the sake of his position. Adachi would end up sending Takashi money every month after he was orphaned, but under the fake identity of a rich philanthropist named Yamada, and Takashi would send letters of thanks in return. He then attends college to enter law school due to his father's false arrest and funds his education using Adachi's money and his own part-time job, studying as much as he can rather than partying.
==Yakuza: Like a Dragon==
Takashi's roommate Kosuke impersonates him and works with Hasegawa to scam Adachi, a plan which fails with help from Ichiban Kasuga. Hasegawa would later fight Kasuga and Adachi, where the real Takashi shows up after Hasegawa is beaten. Takashi reveals to Adachi he knew who he was all along. Adachi apologizes for being unable to save his father, but Takashi thanks him for fighting for his father's innocence when no one else would and for supporting him over the years, because thanks to Adachi, he was able to pass the bar exam required for law school. He requests that Adachi no longer give him remittance as he now does not need the help, a request the somewhat financially troubled Adachi is more than happy to comply with.
