Dojima-kai (Formerly)

**Kamiki Ryuusen** is the former Family Head of the **Kamiki Family** and is the father of the current head **Kamiki Ryuunosuke**.

## Appearance

Ryuusen dresses in a simple garb. He has a tattoo of a dragon on his back.

## Personality

When he was young, Ryuusen was a hot-blooded fellow who would join in the business by being personally involved in the Dojima-kai and contributing a lot, therefore the Kamiki Family rose up the ranks.

After his son was born and after he had grown old, he lost most of his hot-bloodedness and has gone wiser and more adeptive and understanding thanks to **Hideaki**'s and **Hidemasa**'s guidance.

## History

### 2004 Kotō Incident

Out of fear that he will be assassinated as well, Ryuusen rebelled against the Dojima-kai and joined the **Eight Blades Alliance** by the recommendation of **Keroshima Takumi**, Family Head and Patriarch of the **Keroshima Family**.

At first, the Kamiki Family stationed their men only around their vital locations, and told the Alliance that they will only join in a major clash. **Gonryutora Jushiro**, Leader of the Alliance, agreed to Ryuusen's terms. On the third day of the war, three families have been swiftly eliminated by the Dojima-kai due to Hayajiro's sudden development of the Dojima-kai's men and weaponry. Ryuusen then tells Jushiro that he will be sending a number of men along with his cousin and right-hand man, **Kamiki Shibara** to have a secret meeting.

However, a spy of the Dojima-kai who joined the Keroshima Family leaked the info of their location. Hayajiro sent one of his Captains, **Katagiri Gon**, to ambush them. Shibara was killed in the ensuing crossfire. This greatly angered Ryuusen, who told the other families that they will fend for themselves. This move was beneficial to Hayajiro, causing him to eliminate three more families in two weeks.

Several days before the final day of the war, Ryuusen decided to secretly meet with Hayajiro and surrender. He renewed his oath towards the Dojima-kai, and Hayajiro asked him and some of his men to personally execute the captured members of the Keroshima Family. Choosing their family over the crumbling Alliance, Ryuusen and his men agreed. However, upon showing them the prisoners, it was the wives and the children of the Keroshima Family. Ryuusen and his men were shocked beyond belief. Meanwhile, Hidetaka smiles in the corner of the room.

Pulling the trigger with heavy hearts, they hesitantly executed the remaining members Keroshima Family. Ryuusen was shocked, but he was not prepared for what's coming....

On the final day of the war, Ryuusen and his men witnessed the horrifying massacre of the Gonryutora Family. After the war, Ryuusen was forced by Hayajiro to admit the murders that he had committed and he spearheaded the massacre, throwing him into jail. Ryuusen died several months later in prison, with his final thoughts asking Hideaki and Hidemasa to forgive him for failing their expectations.

## Trivia

* Before his capture and death, he witnessed the birth of his grandson, **Kamiki Ryuuga**. When he saw him for the first time, Ryuusen weeped and he said "My grandson will carry the name of this family in my stead." Ryuunosuke was present at the time, and hearing him say it irritates him.
