Kaizoku

Supposedly, the Kaizoku clan was originally formed from the remains of a naval force that was abandoned to die during the Great Magic War. To date, they are the only Yakuza clan that operates primarily on the water. Their headquarters is a submarine base hidden somewhere in the seas near Kairi. With a fleet of small warships and submarines, they are able to take any ship they encounter and since they do not have need to land ashore, they are able to get their hands on international weaponry that they would never be able to get their hands on while on the mainland. They operate on the code that so long as their targets do not put up with the fight, they will only take half of their cargo and leave them with their lives. Those who put up a fight have forfeited their lives. The group is not terribly bloodthirsty though and most encounters end peacefully. In fact, they have been known to aid ships in distress when they encounter them, actually providing supplies and even a ride to shore should they deem it needed.
Akina Nagamimi

As the only elf member of the Kozakura-ikka yakuza clan, she somewhat sticks out in her gang. During a gang battle she was paralyzed from the waist down and has been stuck in a wheelchair ever since. But that hasn't stopped her from being one of the highest ranking members of the admittedly relatively tiny gang. Her hacking skills are top notch, and she has used those skills to create some of the best forged IDs in the city. If you need a fake SIN to rent an apartment with or license for your illegal gear, she is the girl to talk to. And if you need something hacked that has matrix access, she can get in there as well. For obvious reasons, she does not take jobs that require her out in the field.
Haru Takeda

A man whose car was stolen by a serial killer. He had sent his car out to be used by Yobisha and had no idea that his vehicle had been stolen until police came to him, letting him know it had been used in a crime.

Mingmei Institute of Sorcery

Founded over 2,000 years ago, MIS is one of the oldest and most prestigious sorcery universities in the world. The university boasts kami, dragons and other powerful magical creatures among its faculty. Those who graduate the rigorous program can find a job just about anywhere in the world as only the most skilled ever make it through. Due to the nature of magical studies, many students who fail to graduate tend to die in the process. This fans rumors that the school itself is haunted by the spirits of past students. Given some of the things they get up to while studying, it is quite believable as far as rumors go.
Ephiot

When the cosmos was still young and Dragon King Io was breathing life into the universe, a lump of molten material was cooled and formed into Queen Ephiot. Where the Dragon King can be fierce and hot headed, Ephiot is always cool, calm and collected. She is the peace to his chaos and together they brought form to the universe.

Her true form is that of a massive, wingless, purple dragon with long horns. It is said that she is the source of all dragon magic and what binds the universe together. It is at least true that she has a calming effect on her husband, who would otherwise rage through the cosmos and destroy everything, if left unchecked.

The pair live in a massive castle on the plane of Purgatory. There, they mostly keep to themselves, unconcerned about the affairs of the universe.
Akane Takeshi

This info broker spends most of her time at the Back Door, a fetish club for deckers. There she spends her time either indulging in her various fetishes or buying/selling information, particularly pay data from the numerous hackers that frequent the establishment.

She is absolutely obsessed with sex as well as self modification, and in her case, the two are very close related. Info brokering may earn her a lot of money, but she pours it all into countless modifications to enhance the act of sex and is always on the lookout for more. Yet, as obsessed as she is, she is also quite religious and feels guilty for everything she does that is deemed sinful by her church. The only way she's been able to handle this personal conflict is through the use of personafix chips which she slots in to change her personality while engaging in recreational activity. When attending church functions, she sticks to her real personality, including weekly meetings at a sexaholics anonymous group.

She is close friends with the artist known as Rokudenashiko, having developed a very close working relationship with the hacker through her attacks on Cowboy Systems.
Miyako Ohara

A popular wrestler in the Lady's Wrestling Association, Miyako Ohara goes by the stage name "The Green Machine" where she performs as a face (or 'good guy'). She is outgoing and friendly with a big appetite for everything in life which is why her friends often refer to her as "Hara-chan". In addition to simply being a well trained athlete, she is also an adept, which allows her to perform a variety of superhuman acrobatics and feats of strength.
Linnorm Power Plant and Geothermal R&D

Corporate Logo

This nuclear power plant supplies power to most of the city of Mingmei. There are currently plans for the plant to tap into geothermal stores deep beneath the mountain, however this requires digging that will almost certainly go through the tunnels used by the poor as homes and may even flood some of those tunnels with magma. Obviously those who live there want to prevent that, but they have almost no power to do anything to prevent it should Linnorm Power force the matter.
Seichi Tomatsu

Best friends with Isei Takata, the pair grew up together and did everything together. One day they found a fox and decided to keep it as a pet. They would later learn that it was a shifter that they would name Kitsune. As Isei's home was larger and had a place to hide Kitsune, she stayed with him and the two grew close. Seichi was always jealous of their relationship as he loved Kitsune very deeply. The two eventually moved out of their childhood homes and went off to college to study magic.

When Isei was slain, Kitsune fled to Seichi's apartment for safety and Seichi has been taking care of her ever since. Though he mourns the loss of his best friend, he is overjoyed to have the opportunity to have a relationship with Kitsune. He also feels extremely guilty about his mixed emotions on the subject. So far, Kitsune has been too traumatized by the incident to show any affection for Seichi beyond appreciation for her safety. Seichi is perfectly fine biding his time however.
Haru Tanii

For the right price, he is able to lure anyone to your company. If you have no one specific in mind, he can find the best fit for whatever position you need filled. He is a great source of information on corporate politics as well as who the most desired corporate employees of Mingmei are. And if you need a job working for a big company, he is the guy who can get you hired.
Kinza District

The epitome of decadence and wealth, Kinza is home to all the hottest restaurants, clubs and shopping centers. If you have to check the amount of money in your account, you probably can't afford to shop here, though there are certainly many people who come through simply to look around. Celebrities and corporate heads frequent this district, as well as the occasional paparazzi looking to get a picture. The latter is often removed from the area with their cameras confiscated or destroyed. Some important locations in the district include the National Museum, the Chuo Sumo Stables, several Noh and Kabuki theaters (the local equivalent of Broadway), and the Gokagai School of Geisha.
Hiromi Yamanaka

Since an early age, Hiromi was obsessed with sports and joined all kinds. Soccer, baseball, track and field, it didn't matter. So long as she was out there competing, she was happy. However, once she became an adult and wanted to go pro, she found most of the interesting sports were either men only, and those that weren't separated the genders. She didn't want to compete against *only* women. She didn't want to be the best *woman*. She wanted to be the best athlete in the world. So after some soul searching she chose to make a career in Urban Brawl. After bouncing around in various positions, she eventually settled as a banger and has played that position for the Ryuchi Tigers ever since.

Kaede Yoshioka

A career soldier who was dishonorably discharged for firing upon his commanding officer, Kaede didn't have much in the way of useful life skills beyond shooting at people. After bouncing around with little luck, he eventually was scouted to be a blaster for the Ryuchi Tigers. He quite enjoys his new job and is one of the few on his team who aren't indebted to the Yakuza (at least financially).

Aurafeeder

A common sight on the astral plane, aurafeeders are similar in many ways to vampire bats. However, where vampire bats feed on the blood of livestock, aurafeeders feed on the emotional energies of people. Wherever people are having strong emotions, these benign creatures converge and happily soak up the energy. They have no presence on the physical plane and cause no lasting harm to their prey so most people who do not frequent the astral plane have no idea that these creatures exist. After a feeding, the only real symptom that their victims experience is exhaustion, which most people simply attribute to whatever emotion they had at the time. They particularly appear to be attracted to sadness, which is why many people who go through bouts of extreme depression tend to also sleep a lot.
Namba Yoshi

Once a street fighter, Namba was almost killed when he was hit by a bus. He was taken to a hospital and put back together with shiny new cyberware and a massive debt to the Yakuza. Given the choice to either play urban brawl to pay back his debts or give back the lifesaving cyberware, he decided to go with urban brawl. Already a tough guy by nature, he was made even tougher by his cyberware, which made him an excellent candidate to be a banger.

He is something of a cocky guy on the field and in public, but secretly seethes about being a puppet of the Yakuza and longs to pay off his debt.
Hachi

While Hachi was once a feudal state, the last shogun was overthrown about 500 years ago. Since then, the people have worked under partial anarchy. There is no formal leader and whenever one attempts to rise up, they are very quickly assassinated by some opposing faction. This has allowed many corporations, both local and international, to operate with relative impunity throughout the country. There are no government services, only privatized ones, and there are offices for every single one of the Big 12 corporations, as well as countless others. With no laws to hold them back, it essentially corporate paradise. Denso Electronics in particular is headquartered here.

The people are extremely obsessed with chance and randomness, and at least 70% of the population have at least a mild addiction to gambling. This has led to a huge mah-jong and pachinko industry, run by several Yakuza clans. In fact, the gambling business is so successful for the Yakuza clans, they do not really bother to expand into other areas of organized crime. Though it is kind of a stretch to call it organized crime as gambling is not a crime, since there are essentially no codified laws in the province. The Yakuza here are the closest thing to a government the area has; their strict codes of conduct and very organized nature have essentially turned them into the province's effective police force. Private police forces from Cowboy Systems and Linnorm Power do exist, but are strictly used by the wealthy who can afford to hire them. With no government to pay for policing, the poor are left only with the Yakuza clans.

Hachi is a dreamland for shadowrunners as the lack of laws means the only trouble they typically have to worry about is whatever security the target they are hitting happens to have. They do not have to worry about police chasing them through the city, and compared to other Desian provinces, weapons are relatively easy to come across. With little to lose by hiring them, many large corporations throw out huge chunks of money to attract the best into their employ.

One benefit of Hachi for shadowrunners is the large population of yokai on the island. These little monsters are often blamed for everything that goes wrong, so many smart teams find ways to make their infiltration to look like the work of one of these creatures. Some even employ specialists who are skilled at capturing them so as to leave one at the scene when they are done. Though yokai are sapient, no one has been able to figure out how to communicate with them. That sits fine for shadowrunners since the best scapegoats are ones who cannot defend themselves.
Eiji Tsuburaya

A cosplayer, summoner, and rabid fan of the sentai show "Ultraranger". Hoping to recreate a scene from his favorite show at Comiket, he summoned up a powerful monster. Unfortunately the monster was beyond his control and killed him before rampaging and slaughtering countless others. The monster was eventually stopped by Sentai Squad.
Majoukoya

A collection of magic users gathered and made something of an enclave out of this area. These locals get by selling old world remedies of questionable efficacy to tourists while keeping the real magic hidden away. The practitioners in the area are very old school in their ways, called "witches" by the mundane and awakened alike. In fact, the district's name literally means, "the witch's hut". Exactly what kind of magic these witches get up to is known only among them, but they are often accused of blood magic. Cowboy officers stay out of this district as a rule as they find the witches to be creepy and do not want to get into a fight with a bunch of witches who do not appear to be doing anything. Yakuza also leave the witches alone for similar reasons, though they do occasionally come through to ask the witches for help with supernatural matters they cannot deal with on their own.
Black Cobra

The members of this motorcycle gang were all riggers who scavenged parts for their bikes in the Minami Ruins. The parts they found there were not really motorcycle parts, so their motorcycles looked like misshapen collections of parts that somehow work together rather than proper motorcycles.

When they were not scavenging for parts, they were known to raid shipping trucks for supplies. Though they would attack just about any kind of truck, their preference was those containing food. While it was initially assumed that they did this to later sell the food on the black market, all indications seemed to suggest that they simply saved the food to feed themselves.

Clashes with security forces or other gangs would get quite bloody as the bikers attached various types of weaponry to their bikes. When they are victorious, they were known to gather their foes' vehicles for salvage and sometimes their bodies for food.

However the gang was largely slaughtered and its remaining members were absorbed by the Jingai when they were attacked by the rival gang. Their base camp in the Minami Ruins has now become Jingai territory and the few surviving members who didn't join have scattered off with no current signs of restarting the gang. The leader, Kuno Tendo aka King Cobra, was slain in the attack, leaving not much hope of the gang resurfacing in the future.
Ghost

Leader of the Baké Busters, Ghost is a master of manipulation magic. Though he is capable of mind control, he prefers telekinetic spells that can be used to restrain or attack foes. As an initiate of some skill, he is an expert at countering hostile magic and shielding those around him from its effects.
Momoko Tanaka

A company woman for many years, Momoko is very happy with her job. Few people want to mess with the food supply, so it is a relatively safe job. Still, she does not let that lower her guard. She ensures that the arcology is always as secure as possible. When she has time off, she is unable to leave the arcology (because she remains on call) so she secretly spends her free time on the matrix, engaging in sexual role play. She has a taste for all sorts of different fetishes, but her favorite involves being an anthropomorphic rabbit who is tied up and forced to do various things in front of a crowd of matrix gawkers. She remains anonymous behind her various avatars so her private tastes are a secret to her friends, family and coworkers.
Kenji Takahashi

This exotic pet store owner has a bit of an obsession with snakes. So much so that he has had numerous modifications done to his body to mimic them including implanted fangs, a serpentine tongue, and scale-like tattoos. He runs a small boutique shop in the Kinza District where he primarily sells snakes, though he also has a wide selection of awakened paracritters. He is kind of a creepy guy, but generally harmless.
Brightstar Industries

### Areas of Interest

PR, telecommunications, entertainment, social media, real estate, consumer electronic

### Subsidiaries

True Alchemy

Founded by Antonio Thespis, a famous actor who made millions in real estate, Brightstar Industries covers every kind of media that influences public opinion. They handle public relations management, several social media sites, trideo, simsense, as well as the technology needed to take advantage of any of these things. They make consumer-level decks and comlinks, trid recorders and players, and even matrix infrastructure.

They are best known for their content development subsidiaries. Brightstar Studios develops animated films whose characters, such as Harry and Harriet Hamster are known and beloved around the world. They even have several theme parks based on their films. Nightstar Productions is a subsidiary that focuses on pornographic simsense. Interestingly enough, they too have an adult-themed theme park.

The company is known to actively hire people of all metatypes and nationalities so as to be able to make media that is profitable to every audience they can reach.
Ryujin

The dragon god of the sea, Ryujin

## Disadvantages

Worshipers of Ryūjin are obsessed with dragons and will never do anything to harm one.

A dragon kami, Ryūjin is the master of the sea. He lives in his palace under the sea built out of red and white coral, from where he controls the tides with magical tide jewels. Sea turtles, fish and jellyfish are his servants. Like Ebisu, his worshipers feel a strong connection to the sea, though many prefer to explore its depths rather than limit themselves to the surface. There is even rumored to be a community of worshipers who live in a large underwater city.

## Kenta

When he wishes to interact directly with mortals, Ryūjin is known to occasionally take on a human guise. When he does so, he appears to be a fit, handsome young male who typically wears little more than a swimsuit and goes by the name Kenta.

Wujen came to meet him as the ex boyfriend of his then fiancé, Little Dragon. He transported the young pair to the death plane of Purgatory, where they could visit the dragon king Io. The dragon king seemed to have a soft spot for Ryūjin, mentioning that he wished his daughter had married him instead. Ryūjin seemed to have more than a few lingering feelings for Little Dragon as well, though he always remained respectful.

Gary Sanders

Though he looks like a complete idiot, Gary is actually a pretty smooth talker and makes a decent living by conning tourists out of their money. From time to time he hires himself out as an "actor" to shadowrunner teams. On jobs, he uses his expertise to distract front security, allowing the team to sneak by in the chaos.
Heiwa-ji Temple

Central to Mingmei is Heiwa-ji Temple. Like most temples, it is usually open to the public except during purification ceremonies called Harae. Some of the Harae include Setsubun, Summer Solstice, Winter Solstice, Spring Equinox, Fall Equinox, Obon, New Year, Shichi-go-san and Tanabata.  All of these are led by the emperor and are closed to the public due to security concerns. The temple itself is a known focal point for local ley lines and many priests come to study the site when they are able to.
Makoto Aozora

A victim of a serial murderer, he was found squatting in an old building in the Kita Barrens. There was not much to examine of him when he was found as his body had been largely eaten by rats. Still, his throat was believed to have been cut and body drained of blood. He had a pet hellhound which was stolen by the serial killer.
Drift Boys

A moderate-sized group of illegal drift racers, the Drift boys tear up the midnight streets of the Shinginko district. Though they are not necessarily the fastest cars on the street, they are tuned and modified for maneuverability and their members can outrace anyone in the tight urban roads of Mingmei. Most of the members are bankers, accountants, investors and other fairly wealthy people working in the financial sector. Content with just racing among themselves, they rarely clash with any other gangs except occasionally the Bosozoku who are known to drive through and hassle them from time to time with the intent of getting the drifters to crash. Since neither gang outfits their vehicles with weapons, these battles usually involve maneuvering each other off the roads without crashing into each other.
Krista Jefferson

Born in Ethnea, Krista had a relatively normal and peaceful childhood until she was on a cruise with her family that was hijacked by pirates. She was kidnapped and sold into slavery where she eventually ended up in the hands of Yakuza in Mingmei. Tattooed as property and put to work in a local brothel, she eventually escaped to live in the Mingmei tunnels where it was arguable whether her life was better or not. Eventually she made her way into the wilds with a group of others and managed to survive long enough to make it to the Peach Farm.

While out on patrol, she was captured once again, this time by Baba Yaga, where she was destined to be a meal for the witch. Trapped like cattle awaiting slaughter she grew close to fellow captive Grant Smith. The two were luckily saved by intruders who got them out of Baba Yaga's Hut and brought them back to the Peach Farm, where they currently dwell.
Kairi

Located on the south eastern corner of the Desu Islands, Kairi is a province dominated by the ocean. Botan, Etsu, Fudo and Shinoi can all be found on this island and their people are mostly fishermen, whalers and other sailors. Very little farming is done on Kairi, at least in comparison to the other provinces. Most crops are typically imported from other provinces, though diet is focused more on seafood with favorites including fish cakes, sushi, and okonomiyaki (a sort of cabbage-filled pancake, usually topped with sliced pork, octopus, squid or shrimp). People of Kairi are a superstitious lot, at least regarding the sea. They all know every little superstition about sea travel and many make up their own. The dream is to own their own ship one day, if they do not already, and they will often go into detail about their dream ship and what it would include.

For as long as anyone can remember, one constant threat of the ocean is the kraken. This mysterious gargantuan squid lives somewhere in the oceans southeast of Kairi. Many fishermen offer part of their catch to appease the creature for fear of it attacking and bringing their ships into the watery abyss. In truth, it rarely does attack, but when it does it is such a spectacular event that it keeps the people of Kairi in fear. The emperor has sent many brave men to find and kill the kraken. So far they have all failed. Since the attempts usually result in a violent backlash on the part of the creature no one has pressed the issue. It is largely believed that the kraken does not simply eat the people he catches because he does not attack often enough to feed himself. Most believe that his lair is an air-filled breeding ground where it raises people the same way a farmer raises chickens or cattle for food. None have ever seen this lair first hand to confirm this belief, but then again, none really want to.

Organized crime around Kairi mostly takes the form of various pirates who call themselves Kaizoku. Far from the bloodthirsty pirates of legend, kaizoku rarely kill anyone unless they fight back. They simply patrol the seas in high-speed cutters, raiding ships and taking a portion of their cargo before moving on. Though just because they rarely kill, doesn't mean they aren't armed and dangerous. The local sailors have just learned that a portion of their cargo is cheaper than their lives. Shadowrunners can actually make a fair living hunting down kaizoku, if they have the firepower. There is never a shortage of kaizoku to be found, nor corporations willing to pay for their heads.

The current ruler of Kairi is the shogun Akiko Nakamura. She is known for her beauty and kindness, as well as her relative incompetence as a ruler. She is more of a figurehead than anything, allowed to keep her position only because she does nothing to interrupt business on the island. She more or less allows corporations to do as they like with the understanding that if she were ever to disrupt their interests in any meaningful way, she would be removed. Forcibly.
Kireina Yuumei

A miko of minor magical ability, she spends most of her time working at the Temple of the Heart. There she sells ema to lonely people looking for love. Her beauty makes her quite popular among frequent visitors and she has even developed something of a small fan base, which both she and the other priests find embarrassing.

Shutaro Ando

This well-dressed gentleman works for the Yamaguchi clan as a cleaner. He is extremely skilled at making evidence go away, making him highly trusted among the Yamaguchi elite. Though he is a good source of information on the Yamaguchi clan, his professionalism generally prevents him from speaking about his bosses unless he is speaking with someone he trusts won't be using the information against them. Most importantly, he is the guy you want to know when the shit hits the fan and you need to make bodies go away before the police show up.
Gravity swells

Swirls of gravitational energy pass through an area, causing fluctuations in the gravitational pull of everything in the area. This can result in extreme increases or decreases in apparent weight. Gravity swells are particularly common in Victoria, where liftwood trees absorb this energy and is responsible for the signature floating property of their lumber.
Marie Kishi

If it is animated, this girl has not only seen it, but has hundreds in assorted toys and other merchandise as well. To pay the bills, she works at the Brightstar Studios theme park and can even hook up her friends and family with free tickets. But her passion is animation. If you need to know anything about an anime show, convention, store or voice actor, she can go on for hours. She writes about it extensively in her blog: Animotion.
Denso Electronics Branch Office

Thanks to the corporation's extraterritoriality, this branch serves as a legal casino as well as a bank. Most of the pachinko machines used in Denki-Cho come from this very branch, but since it is not beholden to Desian laws, the branch is free to deal in any form of gambling they like. While most of the clients at the casino are gambling-addicted wage slaves, many high rollers from the upper altitudes are also attracted to their tables. Security is tight but subtle to prevent any cheating from going on.
Kazunori Nakajima

A professional Urban Brawler for the Mingmei Dragons. Born to a poor family, he was recruited to a Yakuza clan at a very young age. There he learned of loyalty, honor and street smarts. During a fight with a rival clan, his arm was severely injured and required amputation. The Yakuza rewarded his loyalty with a cyber replacement. Unbeknownst to him at the time, he would be expected to pay for it in the future, with interest.

Then, still only a child, he met who would someday be his best friend, Hiroshi Taira. The pair bonded over their unique circumstance of having a cyberlimb at such a young age and quickly became close. Though they were from different worlds, they trained together and eventually became Urban Brawlers together. With his Yakuzacontacts, Kazunori had little trouble getting into the sport and both became quite adept at it.

However, while his friend Hiroshi has little need for the money gained, Kazunori is desperate for it, needing the cash to repay a debt which had grown precipitously over the years. As such, this Yakuza debtors occasionally ask him to arrange certain 'accidents' during matches. Given his debt, he has little choice but to comply.
Noriko Hotaru

Noriko is a member of the Anti-Magic League, a hate group devoted to eliminating all magic in the world. She is the group's only elven member, and what she lacks in rank or influence, she makes up for in pure hatred for the awakened. She publishes a blog filled with conspiracy theories about Ankev Industries, Wishmaker Inc and even Majoukoya. If there is some magical trouble going on, she is sure to expose it to the world to demonstrate how dangerous and unnatural magic is.
Daiaku Motors Branch Office

The Minmei branch office of Daiaku Motors serves primarily as a testing ground for new products. Whenever something new is developed, they are brought here to get a feel for how the people of Mingmei like the product before it is fully put into production. To those who might so be inclined, it is actually a good place to steal prototypes of up and coming models of drones, vehicles and cybernetics.
Desian Urban Brawl Association

The Desian Urban Brawl Association (DUBA) is a Desian professional Urban Brawl league. It is composed of 20 teams and is one of the four major professional sports leagues in the Desu Island Chain. Top members of this league often go on to compete on the national team against other countries.

The league was founded in Mingmei on Ferragusto 6, 2946, as a semi-legal way to solve disputes between Yakuza clans and other gangs. Matches were scheduled as needed and were very much underground events that the police ignored provided that civilians were unharmed during them. By 2949, cameras were being set up to record the event and broadcast to a wider audience. With the rise in popularity, some laws were relaxed in 2950 to allow for legal murder under a waiver system, provided that everyone followed the rules set down by the league.

The DUBA's regular season runs from Feragusto to Horun, with each team playing 8 games. As of 3010, DUBA players are among the world's best paid athletes by average annual salary per player, however much of that money often goes to debts with Yakuza over cyberware upgrades and limb replacements. Unlike many other sports, the league includes both men and women as well as members of all races. Given the dangers associated with the sport, the organizers cannot afford to be picky if they are going to have a steady stream of replacements for any casualties that may arise. Still, males do make up 80% of league athletes, with a bit over half of all athletes being human.

The DUBA is the third wealthiest professional sport league after the National Soccer League (NSL) and Matrix League Battle Association (MLBA) by revenue, with the Drone Racing Association coming in a close fourth.
Jingai

The Jingai wear this patch on the back of their jackets as a symbol of their gang. The horned devil was chosen since it resembled horned trolls, of which many members of the gang are.

### Active Area

Previously Kita Barrens, currently Minami Ruins

### Members

Nanase Dekamimi

The Jingai (which means either "evildoers" or "outsiders") is a gang consisting of assorted metahumans. They do not have much in the way of weaponry, instead relying on their numbers and martial arts training to deal with the other gangs. A significant number of them are either adepts with powers that would aid them in hand to hand combat, or cybernetically enhanced to similar effect. These members all have the highest ranks within the gang, so it is seen as something of a coming of age event to receive one's first enhancements.

They often clash with both The Zombies and the Ningen Seinensha, and only rarely ever leave their district. When they do, it is usually to make quick strikes on shops in Denki-Cho before the Yakuza have a chance to drive them out. From time to time whichever Yakuza clan they happened to piss off will come through to attack the Jingai, but it is rarely worth their time and resources to do so.

After defeating Black Cobra, the Jingai moved out of the Kita Barrens just as the Ningen Seinensha were arming themselves to drive the **Jingai** out of the district. The move proved a fortunate one for the **Jingai** who avoided a bloody conflict and gained both a better base of operations and some new members.
Animal Rain

A relatively rare occurrence, there have been storms that consist entirely of live animals. Frogs and fish are the most common, which are believed to have been siphoned into the sky by a tornado or other similar weather occurrence and later dropped miles away. There is at least one unexplained case in which countless cats and dogs rained from the heavens, leading to the idiom of the same name.
Beatrice Horie

Half Desian and half Dagmarian, Beatrice enjoys the beautiful features of a mixed race foreigner. Raised among the rich folk of the Kinza District, she always felt like an outsider, partially for her foreign blood and partially due to her troll lineage. She eventually found kinship among the Kamikaze Girls and rose to become their leader.

She is a skilled magic user, known to favor acid spells. She is also known to be extremely vindictive and sadistic against those who betray her, making use of her acid spells to disfigure and torture people, as well as dispose of bodies, if necessary. Due to her lifetime of being treated as an outsider, she has grown to become a bit of an attention seeker and demands constant flattery from her gang members. The girls in her gang don't mind this overly much as they are quite infatuated with her and her abilities.
Ai Satou

Born on the streets of Ryuchi, Ai made a living boosting cars for a brief time before she shot someone while stealing a car and was ultimately arrested for it. Looking to shorten her sentence, she trained in prison and tried out for the local Urban Brawl team. Each season that she plays will shorten her sentence by one year. Given that she has a 20 year sentence, she's set to play for at least 10 seasons.
Maki Tadashi

Born in Ryuchi, Maki Tadashi is a high school language arts teacher who likes to keep fit. Partially because teaching doesn't pay her enough, and just as much due to her desire to stay fit, she makes a living as an urban brawler playing for the Ryuchi Tigers. She is a solid scout and much of her pay goes to bioware enhancements that help her stay fit and keep her alive on the field.

Her students have no idea about her second job and she prefers things that way so she avoids publicity shoots and commercials that might earn her extra cash, instead being content with a base urban brawler salary.
Baku

Baku find dreams to be delicious

### Adept

Adepts have access to the Heal spell, though they use Willpower + Magic to cast it instead of spellcasting. Like other adept powers, drain is still resisted Body + Willpower

## Disadvantages

Baku's followers love to sleep and like to do so for about 12 hours a day. If they do not get this sleep, they are exhausted and cranky for the day, resulting in a -2 penalty to all rolls until they can get proper sleep.

Baku are tapir-like creatures that devour dreams and nightmares. According to legend, they were created by the spare pieces that were left over when the gods finished creating all other animals. They are a shy chimera with an elephant’s trunk, rhinoceros' eyes, an ox's tail, and a tiger's paws, which protect against pestilence and evil.
Kita Barrens

About a hundred years ago, this neighborhood was quite wealthy. There was an active blackrock mine in the area that provided steady work and wealth for everyone. Eventually the mine ran dry and with no other major sources of income in the area, people moved away, leaving the town to be occupied by three small gangs who are at constant war with one another.

The Ningen Seinensha ("Human Youth Society") are a gang of humanists who believe the barrens could be revitalized if only the filthy metahumans were driven out of the area. They are purists who refuse cyberware and believe magic is an abomination. They do have an impressive selection of illegal weaponry and will sometimes sell it to those who share their views. No one is sure where they get their weapons from, but they clearly have powerful connections that want to see them armed.

The Jingai (which means either "evildoers" or "outsiders") is a gang consisting of assorted metahumans. They do not have much in the way of weaponry, instead relying on their numbers and martial arts training to deal with the other gangs. A significant number of them are either adepts with powers that would aid them in hand to hand combat, or cybernetically enhanced to similar effect. These members all have the highest ranks within the gang, so it is seen as something of a coming of age event to receive one's first enhancements.

The last gang is the Zombies. The Zombies are a group of awakened ghouls who are all toxic shamans. They live in the ruins of an abandoned nuclear waste dump and are the smallest in number of the three gangs. For the most part they keep to themselves, only emerging from their home to feed. This is what leads them into conflict with the other two gangs since those other two gangs are their preferred prey. Interestingly enough, the Zombies never seem to feed on non-gang members, though it is unknown why.
Shinginko

Shinginko is a commercial district with some high end housing. he name, meaning "new bank", derives from its name from the large number of banks with corporate offices here. Thus, it is also Mingmei's financial district and the country's three largest banks are headquartered there. Besides the banks, there are several large shopping malls with a focus on high-end business fashion. Many other smaller corporations have offices here as well.
Oniyuri Lily

Found exclusively on the Desu Island Chain, the oniyuri lily (or sometimes referred to as a tiger lily) is a flower that both represents wealth and proves to be a powerful deterrent to demons. Demons who inhale its pollen temporarily lose their magical powers. It is thus a greatly desired plant by those who deal with such things.
Finish Line

A small, unassuming bar located in Izakaya. It has bar seating and a couple of tables as well as three karaoke booths in the back. One wouldn't think much of it, but it is usually busy most nights, filled with shadowrunners looking for work and Johnsons looking to hire them. The owner is a retired shadowrunner named Yuusuke Takahashi who spends his days tending the bar, swapping stories with shadowrunners and ensuring everyone has a safe place to do their business.

The menu consists of all manner of fried things which the owner occasionally changes up. Staples include:

* Karaage (fried chicken chunks)
* Ika fry (fried squid)
* Ebi Tempura (fried shrimp)
* Fried Potato (french fries)
* Ton Katsu (fried pork cutlet)
* Ham Katsu (fried ham)
* Satsuma-age (fried fish-flavored patty)
* Agedofu (fried tofu)
* Chaouhan (fried rice)
Momo Saito

While she was a gang girl once upon a time, she cleaned up her act after getting arrested and now makes a living making custom clothing for the wealthy. While the majority of her clothing is purely decorative, some of her clients do require their clothing to function as protection. She has developed a reputation as someone who can craft armor that has both the beauty of form, and the security of function. Her armored creations don't come cheap, but her clients are always happy.
Rosa Pine

Once an urban brawler, Rosa Pine retired from the brutal sport after losing both arms during a match. She cruised around for a short period of time, then eventually linked up with a policlub called Artemis Club. The club itself was focused on women's rights, though it primarily existed to provide a safe place for battered and homeless women. While Rosa was neither at the time, she was quickly caught up by their ideals and eventually became a member of the security staff for one of the shelters.

While working security, she got to know the stories of the women in the shelter and took it upon herself to ensure their abusers never abused anyone else ever again. Eventually the jobs grew too numerous and so she has become something of a Ms Johnson, hiring shadowrunners to rough up abusers and rapists for a little cash.
Akaname

Akaname are filthy creatures that live in bath houses

## Disadvantages

Everyone looks down on akaname worshipers. They receive a -2 penalty on all social checks

The lowest of all kami, akaname are known to make themselves at home in old, forgotten bathhouses and dilapidated estates. There, they are said to lick up the filth that collects in bathtubs and bathrooms. They are a common mentor spirit for those who live in heavily sprawling, urban areas. Their worshipers are squatters who have adapted to living in poverty and squalor, living off of the scraps they can find in dumpsters. Akaname worshipers are looked down upon by everyone and avoided when possible.
Memory wind

Magical winds blow through the area, stealing memories from those caught in them and placing those memories into others. It can be extremely disorienting to those caught in them as they suddenly remember things they never did. The longer one is exposed to the winds the more of their memories are siphoned off and replaced by others. There does not appear to be any real way to protect against the winds except to remain within shelter until they pass.

While the memories seem to primarily belong to sapient beings, it is not unheard of for people to gain the memories of plants or animals when caught in a particularly active storm. In one particularly bizarre case, a human man lost all of his memories only to have them replaced by a termite-infested tree. The memories drove him insane and he immolated himself, supposedly to "kill the bugs."
Masahiro Yamaguchi

An accomplished swordsman, adept and party boy, Masahiro is currently the next in line to run the Yamaguchi clan whenever his father steps down. He knows a great deal about what is going on in the city's underground and may even introduce his father to those he think are worth introducing. When he isn't partying or raiding the Sumiyoshi clan, he spends much of his time training in his personal dojo where he is surrounded by a small army of ninja adepts who train under him. For an adept who is looking for some serious training, Masahiro is one of the best teachers around. He is also a connoisseur of fine weapon foci, for those looking to buy or sell a powerful magical blade
Nakajuku

A major commercial and business center, it houses the two busiest railway stations in the world. Much like Harabuya, this area is known as one of the fashion centers of the Desu Islands, particularly for young people, and as a major nightlife area. There are extensive high end bars, clubs and brothels throughout the district, making it the place to go for locals who want to party. The level of night life in the area makes it hard for understaffed security to thoroughly patrol the area so it is a hot spot for Yakuza activity, particularly prostitution and drug dealing. Despite that, the area is actually quite safe.
