Japanese Consulate

The Japanese Consulate was located in the Bank Block district of Central Night City.
==Overview==
This was the largest consular compound in Night City. It housed not only the consulate proper, but also the main American office of the Japanese trade ministry, which oversaw all matters of import and export to and from the United States. The consul-general in 2020 was Juzo Inoue, a samurai businessman through and through. He had a long standing reputation as a tough, wily and inscrutable man. Unlike most Japanese government officials, he was not a career politician, but made his name in business. His days as the ruthless director of an industrial combine earned him many enemies at home and abroad. He was under constant guard by loyal retainers, and rarely left the compound. Claims of yakuza and Arasaka connections to this place were never substantiated.
All personnel, including a security detachment of 100 diplomatic police, lived in apartments in the consulate. The living quarters of the higher ranking officials were quite lavish, and security was tight throughout. Naturally, the Japanese consulate offered the same services as its smaller counterparts on the opposite side of the plaza. It also served as a way-station for travelling Japanese politicians, plus Japanese solos and businessmen who, for some reason or another, felt insecure outside of a diplomatically protected environment. The roofs had AV landing pads.
The consulate was severely damaged from debris caused by the collapse of the Arasaka Towers during the Night City Holocaust.
