Description
Tsuyoshi Samejima stands as a significant antagonist within the narrative, wielding a high-ranking position before seizing leadership of the Kensaki branch of a yakuza organization. His sharp features, pale skin, black hair cut to ear length, and gray eyes define his appearance. Samejima consistently wears formal attire: a black suit with gold buttons and a purple tie, often displaying a self-satisfied or taunting expression.
Self-confidence, ambition, and deviousness mark Samejima's personality. He eliminates obstacles to power without hesitation, framing colleague Higa Yamato for an illegal weapons transaction that leads to Higa's imprisonment. He later murders their superior, Kensaki Mamoru, when Kensaki proposes shared leadership. Samejima shoots Kensaki in his office with a silenced weapon, cementing his takeover of the Kensaki group.
Samejima rose within the Kensaki organization, resenting shared influence with Higa, whom Kensaki treated like an adopted son. After engineering Higa's incarceration, Samejima visits him in prison to mockingly imply Kensaki's impending demise and the group's expansion under his control. Following Kensaki's murder, Samejima consolidates power despite opposition from subordinate Igarashi Takeru, who overhears Samejima confirming the murder over the phone. Samejima notices Igarashi but dismisses him as inconsequential.
When Igarashi assists Higa's escape during a prison transfer, Samejima contacts them directly. He acknowledges their boldness and offers Higa a position as his right-hand man. Higa furiously rejects the offer, vowing revenge for the framing and Kensaki's death. Samejima responds with anticipation before ending the call.
Samejima possesses significant influence within criminal circles, substantial financial resources, powerful allies, and proficiency with firearms. His relationships center on manipulation and antagonism: he views Higa as a hated rival, considers Igarashi an insignificant threat, and betrays Kensaki's trust to fulfill his ambitions for control and expansion of the yakuza branch.
