## Background

### 1995 - 2017: Kazua Senzaki

Kazua Senzaki is the illegitimate child of Tatsuo Hasigawa, the head of the Yakuza in Gotham. Tatsuo had engaged in an affair with the sister of Itto Senzaki, his brother's Lieutenant at the Yakuza's Tokyo branch. That is the one of the few confirmed facts of Kazua's childhood. She's known to play things close to the chest, with information only being revealed by accident or some deep diving into her life. It is most likely that the she was raised in secret with the Yakuza or far away from them entirely.

The next twenty one years of Kazua's life remain a mystery. It can be assumed she was enrolled in some type of educational programs & received the equivalent of a high school diploma. Kazua made an appearance to Gotham in the summer of 2016 shortly after her mother's death, which was revealed when asked what brought her to the city.

What she did in the city is also not known either, though she had a sizable amount of money considering her living arrangments. Tim stated that he spotted her at a cafe that he frequently visited, swearing she was the same woman he saw in Corto Maltese while undercover with Cassandra. After weeks of quick glances & extended eye contact, Kazua made the first moved & introduced herself.

What started as a friendly introduction quickly turned into a lustful affair between the two. There were no real feelings between the two other than physical desire. Things probably could have continued that way for some time but Kazua ended things by saying that she didn't have time to see Tim anymore. He knew she was serious about ending their relationship but didn't think she was done with Gotham until he didn't seen her at the cafe for the following week. Oracle herself confirmed that Kazua had ended her apartment lease & was no longer in the city.
