Kurojou

* Sign
* Members

### Icon

The **Kurojou**-gumi is one of the 4 main yakuza organizations of the ROAD59 franchise. Their theme song is *Labyrinth －Kuro no Hanazono－*.

## Profile

The largest force in the Tenkai Ward that has risen with money and power. While their influence over Tenkai Ward is strong, its ruthless dictatorship has sparked some resentment among civilians, and there are fragments of internal conflict that remain unsolved.

## Members

* Sumeragi Kensei: Clan Leader.
* Hiiragi Renge: Member associated with the combat faction. She has served the clan with her sister since its predecessor.
* Hiiragi Sara: Member associated with the combat faction. She has served the clan with her sister since its predecessor.
* Kurogane Kazuomi: Kensei's aide. Made a sudden transfer after being formerly affiliated with the Hakurou-gumi.

## Description

The Kurojou disguises itself under Kensei's front corporation, contributing to its wealth and control over various local businesses in the Tenkai Ward. This group is arguably the most malicious compared to the other groups, resorting to brutal tactics to pursue their interests, and most of its members have cruel and greedy personalities. Kensei especially doesn't hesitate to exterminate any members showing defiance. This, however, becomes a major drawback for them, since the members have discord with one another, but they somehow manage to cooperate well in battle. The Hiiragi sisters tend to snobbishly flaunt the group towards people outside of it.

## Etymology

* **Kuro** (黒) means "black" or "dark".
* **Jou** (条) refers to independent sections in a document, such as an article, paragraph or clause.

Yanagi Atsuhiko

Spoiler Alert!*Note that there are marked spoilers below. In order to reveal the spoiler, hover over the blurred text.*
**Yanagi Atsuhiko** is the deceased father of Bakuto. He goes under the alias "Kirisawa" in the Tenkai Ward, which was revealed to be the maiden name of Bakuto's mother.

## History

Just like his son, Atsuhiko was affiliated with the Shinonome, and it is presumed that he was well-respected among the members. Before the 1st stage play, he was unexpectedly murdered, and Bakuto returns to the Tenkai Ward in order to catch the perpetrator of his murder. Sho explains that Atsuhiko had constantly been targeted by someone, and because he knew a lot of [undisclosed] information, it ultimately resulted in his murder. On the verge of death, he stated something among the lines of, "When someone dies, there'll always be someone who'll grieve."

## Relationships

### Shinonome

* Yanagi Bakuto: It is assumed that Bakuto had a very strained relationship with his father, referring to him as "shitty dad" (kuso oyaji / クソ親父) and talks about him very poorly. He states that his father had abandoned his family and didn't even bother to attend his mother's funeral, causing Bakuto to develop a disdain for the concept of familial bond.
* Yutsuma Kiyonobu: Though their relationship isn't explained in depth, Kiyonobu seems to know a lot of Atsuhiko's history.
* Ooimachi Takahisa: Takahisa states that when Ichijo had framed him to the yakuza, who was aiming to kill him, Atsuhiko ended up taking Takahisa in.

### Hakurou

* Himuro Sho: Sho states that Atsuhiko looked after him, therefore he sees him as a good person and feels indebted for his deed.

### PHOENIX

* Irina Spessivtseva: Irina is the perpetrator of Atsuhiko's murder. She disliked the fact that he considered her "strange", "weak" and "wrong" for her method of obtaining world equality, so she killed him in retaliation as he refused to cooperate with her. She is surprised to hear that he had a son and hates people like him.

It's characterized by a series of stone brick pillars in a rectangle surrounding what appears to be the ruins of a town/small city. Some foundations of small buildings are still recognizable, and in the middle of the site is a larger foundation that appears to be some kind of temple. Placed within the 'temple' is a nether portal decorated with some gold blocks. The portal was unlit upon discovery, but was lit by 7777 when he arrived. There is a small base nearby, inside a small mountain. Within is very basic survival gear and a small quarry. There are no signs or any information about who lived here or created it.

Jingi

Stub*Looks like this article/section could use more details. You can help the ROAD59 Wiki by expanding it.*

Jingi (神祇, ジンギ) are individuals that wield divine supernatural abilities. The power of Jingi allows its user to enhance an action, such as eyesight or a strike. They are described as "chivalrous".

## Description

The power of Jingi can be given to a successor through a formal ceremony of exchanging cups while using blood instead of alcohol. The power of Jingi can also be passed from blood-relations, such as a parent to child, or even between brothers. Those that become Jingi can never return back to humanity, but even so, they epouse the resignation and motive to seek power.

Behind the scenes, the Jingi is divided into four organizations, the Shinonome-gumi, Hakurou-gumi, Kurojou-gumi and PHOENIX, fighting for power between each other. These organizations strive to retrieve the Yamata no Orochi no Kubi, who's blood will give them godlike powers that the Jingi once had in the past.

## History

Since ancient times, the Jingi have ruled over lands, wielding power far beyond any ordinary person could. While concealing their ceremonies, they continue their existence through bloodlines and inheritance.

In the past, they had made a name for themselves in history by slaying mythical beasts, performing incredible feats on the battlefield, and clashing with each other in the shadows. As the ages pass, they adapt their form to the times, and nowadays they operate in secret societies in the underworld.

## Known Wielders

* Yanagi Bakuto- Increases Physical Vigor
* Yutsuma Kaya Transcendence(?)

## Trivia

* The term "Jingi" has a dual meaning:
	+ Written as "神祇", it refers to the gods of heaven and earth (this reading can be found in the name of the Imperial-era Department of Divinities.)
	+ Another way to write it is "仁義", which refers to the yakuza code of ethics.

Blank Clan

Blank Clan is a griefing/PvP clan started by 420conlos840 and TheRealNiceKid in December 2020.

### Bases

There is at least one base owned by the Blank Clan, though 420conlos840 claims to personally control several. It is unknown if any of his bases are owned by Blank Clan or are purely for personal use.

### The Raid of Masterville

The Blank Clan has been attributed with the raid of Masterville on December 17th, 2020, but not the grief. According to 420conlos840, Blank Clan discovered the base while scouting the overworld and sent Masterville demands. The price demanded is not publicly known as of yet. Masterville denied the demands and the raid began. The raid was ultimately successful, with Blank Clan seizing all valuables in the city. 420conlos840 claimed to not have destroyed the base however, as he respected the build. In the end, the coords were leaked and other players arrived to damage the base.

### Griefs

Blank Clan griefed an unknown ally of the Masters around the same time they raided the Masters base.

Soon after, Blank Clan griefed Sanctum, presumably also demanding payment beforehand.
