**Riku Ito**, one of the protagonists, and the FBI's #3 on the WANTED list. He is a "mercenary" (serves as a hitman) who is known for accepting kill commissions for just 15 yen. However, he doesn't know what he's getting into, as for Halcyon has a mission for him, for him to take the life of businessman Natsuya Katagawa.

### Appearance

Riku has short, fluffy cinnamon hair, blue eyes, a red vest with sleeves and a hood, jeans, and when shirtless, seems to have no nipples, but has a barcode on his back. The barcode is R-43991-I referring to April 3, 1991, Riku's birthday. According to EO, he has no genitals, meaning he doesn't have anything for Rita to have her own child. He also has fangs, we can't exclude those canines.

### Personality

```
Main article: Kuudere

```

Though being a kuudere, Riku is often laid-back and sociopathic. However, during a sort of heist or commission, he takes it seriously and will do anything for a certain heist or kill mission, unless it involves rape, omnicide, terrorism, or arson. **THEN** Riku will have to respectfully decline, either due to not being interested in sex, the equality belief, anti-terroristic behavior, or pyrophobia.

### Backstory

Riku was born on April 3, 1991, when a test subject of Thunder Science Company was running from a few latexes, and admiring a crystal, later touching it and becoming a dark latex pup...or a little bit more. That's how Riku was born.

Somehow, the crystals caused these pups (excluding the test subject) to have a familiar bond to the Wolf King. Soon after Riku was born, King breached out of Thunder's clutches, and going back to Oceania.

The King was from New Jersey, and he wasn't married yet. He went back to Japan and married a human woman, with Riku believing that all humans and latexes are the same. It's one of the main reasons Riku in the present wants to shut down Thunder Science Company; so humans and latexes can gain equality, no matter the species.

In 2003, Riku, age 12, has a new baby brother named Akira Ito. Since the woman the King married is a Nazism follower, Akira is also a Nazism follower, meaning both the woman and Akira have a high interest on Adolf Hitler. However, Riku and the King despise Hitler, as for they just as much want to travel back in time to kill Hitler themselves, either using guns, blades, etc. However, it was not possible.

At age 13, Thunder Science Company head security █████ ██████ threatened the King that if they don't return to the lab, they will take his child in custody. The woman came in the handle the hassle, only to get fatally injured by █████ with his Colt Python. Riku kicked and bit, but it was no use after █████ sedated him. Riku, while in the laboratory, self taught himself chemistry, who was successful enough to disguise himself as a human to negotiate with █████ saying that "the wolf boy they captured placed him in there and needed immediate assistance. █████, fooled by the lie the now-human Riku had just said, let him free. █████, wondering his name, Riku lied, saying his name was "Jake Freeman", a Japanese-American journalist that moved to Japan to live the life of his deceased parents. █████ let him go outside the building, gave him a jacket and jeans, boots, and a self-defense Desert Eagle and self-defense wakizashi. Riku would now live on to becoming a kill commission mercenary.

At age 14, Riku's first client was a breached latex named "Colin". Colin said his ex-girlfriend Serena is going crazy and needs Riku to neutralize the target in order to stop being chased around with a crazy Italian ex-girlfriend running around in public areas with a shotgun. Riku accepted, trying to find Serena, and successfully did. But before Riku could kill her, Serena was quickly sedated and dragged inside the lab.

Riku, lying, said that he successfully killed Serena and needs a pay of 15 yen. Colin does the exact thing.

On Riku's new iPhone, social engineer and SIM swapper Judith Carsen texted Riku that he needs a heist to do so she can get "free filet burgers". Riku replied "yea, what do i need to do for the heist". Judith replied with "It's easy. Go down a manhole and find a sewer restaurant with a drill hair girl that LOOKS 15 and a half, but is actually over 25. You need to run if she catches you shoplifting, as well as hand me the food. Because I can swap your SIM and hack any social media you have if you change your mind." Riku accepts out of fear, and Judith tells him the district he needs to go to. That's basically how Corruptionists started.

### Conclusion

Riku may seem like an innocent teenager that just has sociopath issues, but he's a serious operative who will kill anyone who gets in his way.

## Plot

After he committed theft while Kasane Teto in a cameo chases him, he climbs out of the secret sewer restaurant that Judith Carsen had pinpointed out for him. He gets paid later on, as he is holding some yen. Joanna holds him gunpoint with a fraud flintlock, as for she wants to know who he is. He lifts down the hood from his jacket, revealing himself as Riku Ito. Joanna throws away the flintlock and decides to commission Riku to help with an abducted adoptive sister. He counts up that ruining abductions/saving abducted victims add ¥20 to the ¥15 commissions, leaving the total as ¥35. Since Joanna is from France, a constitutional republic area, she pays in euro, the European currency for nearly all the countries in Europe except for Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Sweden. Due to that, yen-to-euro translation makes ¥35 into €0.27.

Now with Riku inside a subway, he is on way to Thunder Science Company, a Japanese science business founded by Natsuya Katagawa. Exiting the subway he enters the lab, finding two of his European friends, Camilla Hansen (Norwegian) and Elliot Faal (Danish). Camilla, immediately recognizing who he is, gives the offer to locate the victim, Serena Futanari, with just some money. Riku, a little bit angered by the fact he has to pay to pinpoint the capturer, pays a little bit of yen. Camilla leads Riku to the security room, where the capturer, Reinardo Kennedy is. Riku goes in and points his .50 AE Desert Eagle to his head and threatens where Serena is. He says the location; to both Camilla and Riku.

Camilla helps Serena out of the tank and gives her to Riku. During the breach, Serena wakes up in a back alley. Serena thanks Riku for saving her, as he helps her get back to JoJo.

Joanna pays Riku the money back and decides for him to come with her. Serena doesn't know what she's planning, and disappears. Joanna leads him to an underground bunker owned by a criminal organization known as "Halcyon".
