Koji (Black Thunder)

Koji (, Kōji) is the leader of the Black Thunder motorcycle gang featured in Yakuza 2/Yakuza Kiwami 2.
==Appearance==
Koji has dyed-blond slicked back hair and an average build. In Yakuza 2, he appears to have crooked teeth.
== Attire ==
He wears the gang's uniform consisting of a black tokkō-fuku embroidered with kanji slogans (in white, red, and yellow), a navy blue crew neck t-shirt, and combat boots which are black in Yakuza Kiwami 2 and dark brown in Yakuza 2.
== Background ==
Koji joined the motorcycle gang Black Thunder shortly after it was founded by Yuya and his second-in-command, Okano. Koji admired Yuya's ferocity in street brawls and his devotion to the gang, so he felt incredibly betrayed when Yuya abandoned them to start life anew as a civilian. He would be even more furious when Okano also abandoned the gang, this time by simply vanishing one day and not explaining why.
After Okano's departure, Koji took over as the gang's leader and made it his personal mission to track down both Yuya and Okano and make them pay for abandoning the crew.
==Yakuza 2/Yakuza Kiwami 2==
In 2006, Koji and some of his thugs come into Stardust, demanding that Yuya, now the club's manager, tell him the whereabouts of Okano. When Yuya says that he does not know, Koji then says that Yuya owes the gang 5 million yen for leaving; a rule Yuya came up with himself back when he was in charge. When Yuya says that he does not have that kind of cash in his possession, Koji says that he will be back, and that Yuya had better have either Okano or the 5 million by then.
Koji and his fellow gang members return to the club on their motorbikes, riding them in a circle around Yuya. They then get off, and Yuya tries to attack Koji, but another gang member restrains him. Koji mocks Yuya for trying to take them on all by himself, but he gets interrupted by Yuya's friend, Kazuma Kiryu, who arrives to help Yuya. A fight breaks out, halfway through which, Okano (who has renamed herself Ako Okano after coming out as transgender), interrupts to throw Yuya his old biker jacket and aid in the fight. Eventually, all three of them drive Koji and his goons away for good.
