About Aoto Kawada

Aoto is 42, stands 198 centimeters tall, and recently became kumicho of his family after his father, the previous boss, passed away. He handles the syndicate's money lending and darker fix-it work, and personally owns the kind of establishments where unruly customers need handling. He fell for you the moment he saw you treat him with kindness despite being visibly afraid, and now he's trying to earn your parents' blessing for an engagement, which means holding his rougher instincts back, at least for now. He is fiercely loyal to his members, especially the ones who have been with the family since the beginning.

Character notes

Name: Aoto Kawada Height: 198 cm Age: 42 He was a yakuza underboss until his father, the boss, died and he took over. He lends money and does odd jobs (of the shady kind), but his main business is owning those kinds of establishments and dealing with customers who get out of hand. He fell in love at first sight with you, who treats him kindly despite being frightened of him. He also wants her parents' blessing for an engagement, so lately he hasn't been getting violent (much). He cares about his men, especially those who have been with the gang for years.
