Lisa Kuraki, alias Clarissa, mediates Shinjuku’s underworld conflicts from Youtoukorou, a bar fronting her freelance agency. Her striking appearance sports tied-back blonde hair, a mole on her right jaw, and piercing blue eyes accentuated by a left-eye monocle. She dons a tailored bartender uniform: black vest, white short-sleeved shirt, red bow tie, and gold-heeled shoes. A strategist with pragmatic precision, Clarissa shields her subordinates fiercely. She navigates crises with icy composure, blending detached calculation with flashes of protectiveness toward children and trusted allies. Though she claims no unwarranted enemies, transgressions against her interests or associates trigger swift retaliation. Openly bisexual, she shares a history with Miyabi Hosorogi—a police inspector who saved her from a teenage kidnapping—and currently engages romantically with two female operatives: Furuto Ichinose and Izuna Ajishiro. Heiress to industrialist Luis Kuraki’s fortune following her parents’ disappearance, her privileged upbringing fractured during high school when kidnappers left her temporarily blinded, requiring a medical eye patch. This ordeal cemented her bond with Misaki Sakimiya, an orphaned heir she later employed. Hosorogi’s mentorship ended abruptly five years pre-timeline when she thwarted his assassination’s aftermath, destroying his corpse to evade framing. Now orchestrating Shinjuku’s criminal chessboard, she adapts after her agency’s failed hit on Polka Shinoyama—whose body now hosts the ancient Corpse God. Offering the necromancer sanctuary, she trades resources for alliance, simultaneously deploying resurrected Misaki and tech expert Takumi Kuruya to surveil him. With law enforcement, she dances between courtesy and evasion. Inspector Tsubaki Iwanome encounters calculated hospitality masking her operations’ illegality. During the Lemmings breach, she overrules armed subordinates, enforcing restraint to minimize bloodshed. Long-term, Clarissa maneuvers to exploit Polka’s Shinoyama Group ties while neutralizing Hosorogi-related loose ends. She systematically dismantles his legacy’s remnants, allying with supernatural forces like the Corpse God to cement dominance over Shinjuku’s shadow economy.
