Isao Nonomiya

Isao Nonomiya (, Nonomiya Isao) is a character in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. He is the proprietor of multiple nightlife establishments, including Otohime Land and Club Silky Queen.
==Background==
Nonomiya was acquainted with Hamako years prior. He was a regular of Ichiban Confections, and treated Eri Kamataki as a daughter at times since she was a baby.
He had given Saeko Mukoda a job at a hostess bar of his when she had nowhere to go. Nanoha Mukoda would later become an employee of Nonomiya's, and he asked her if she is related to Saeko. Nanoha made him promise to not tell Saeko of where she worked. She became his top earner in 2014 and held that spot ever since.
When Eri was struggling with Ichiban Confections, Nonomiya steps in to help. He paid her loan in full and decided to take over as company president to fulfill his dream of running a legitimate business and create a "safety net" for the city, which he often talked about after drinking too much. He also wanted Otohime Land to be a place to go for people who have nothing left, though he would also push his employees hard and involve himself with shady businesses.
==Involvement==
===Yakuza: Like a Dragon: 2019===
As Bleach Japan protests outside Otohime Land and Seiryu Clan are unable to help due to the threats knowing of anti-yakuza laws, Nonomiya's staff quit to avoid the harassment, and as a result Nonomiya makes a request for workers at Hello Work. Nonomiya states his less-than-ideal operation policies and talks down to Nanoha for asking for more time off while his potential new workers, Ichiban Kasuga, Yu Nanba, and Koichi Adachi overhear while waiting for him. Kasuga accepts the job, prompting the other two to also join.
Nonomiya takes the opportunity to have his new workers investigate Nanoha's unusually frequent requests for time off after they make Bleach Japan leave, as it is hurting business and worrying him because he cannot protect her outside work, and all his hostesses have troubled pasts. Though she stated her absences are due to an irregular period, Nonomiya suspects something else is at play, possibly a side piece for extra money. 
Nonomiya learns from the trio that Nanoha is paying ¥1,000,000 monthly for her father Tatsuro's comfort in Sunlight Castle. Though he initially decides to not interfere, the prospect of Nanoha being scammed after working herself sick has him beg the trio to save Tatsuro from the place. He informs Shuichi Kanbe of the plan for the trio to get hired at Sunlight Castle.
The trio discuss what they learned, and Nonomiya spots Ryuto Family members in a picture Adachi took, meaning Sunlight Castle may be a Seiryu Clan business generating profit through a pension scheme. After further discussion, Nonomiya asks them to save Tatsuro from his execution tomorrow, and agrees to Kasuga's request of giving a full-house bonus.
Nonomiya gets the bonuses ready the next day and, no longer able to withhold information, informs Saeko of what Nanoha had been up to over the phone. During the call, Yokohama Liumang members arrive, and Nonomiya tells Saeko to contact the trio. Akira Mabuchi has Nonomiya hanged as part of a plan to incite war among the Ijin Three, and his murder is made to look like a suicide, but Saeko heard them call for Mabuchi and goes to the trio as she was asked to.
