Kobun Shirakawa

Hiroshi Shirakawa was one of many kobun who attempted to carve out a personal territory when his oyabun was assassinated. His district included the University and bordered a section of the local Chinatown. He managed to keep his territory intact until he was embroiled in a turf war with Renjiro Yamamura, another former kobun. Unfortunately for him, while he managed to fend off Renjiro’s expansionism the aftermath left both of them vulnerable to Triad aggression.

Hiroshi was tired of fighting alone. Being oyabun with insufficient resources to hold his territory was a much larger task than he had ever imagined and being solely responsible for the entire organization’s health and well being had taken its toll, so he pledged himself and his entire group to the one who was demonstrating that it was possible to be both family and respectable: Roderic Gallowglas and the Elysium Empire Club.
