UnOfficial | The Yakuza Family
Takashi, Takashi Shimoro was destined for great things in his life. As a toddler, the age of 4 he was already talking Japanese. He was quite an achievement by his parents. Raised and born in Kobe, Japan. Takashi attended school, college and then graduated with his Bachelor in Arts. From there, it was the revolution of technology in Japan. Mobile phones, Computers and automobiles were excelling. This was quite an exciting for a young Takashi, as he one day aspired to own such assets. Takashi from there, got into and excelled in an Arts career, working as an individual artist. From that job alone, he learned lessons that cannot be caught, such as, respect, honor and integrity. He was wise. As the days and years past, so did many friends and eventually his parents. A decorated funeral was held and Takashi gave the speech of his life with all emotion held. After the funeral, Takashi inherited his fathers small sushi bar down the streets of Kobe. At the age 20, Takashi worked full-time as the owner of "Kazuma's Sushi Bar" and if he could, squeeze in a few hours of his passion, painting. It was the year of 1960, and civil disputes were arising on other sides of the globe. The U.S were claiming that Japan had nuclear weapons and wanted to implement troops into Japan. The Japan economy was in recession, jobs were lost, salaries were cut and Takashi eventually had to sell the Sushi Bar to make ends meet. After many words being said back and forth, the U.S decided to implement its troops into North Japan. There main mission was to take down the terrorist organizations and the guerrillas supposedly having weapons of mass destruction. The Japanese government, a true and strong body, stuck to their pride and gathered troops from Tokyo Japan. Back then, being a 20 year old and forced into the army was a normal thing. Takashi was eventually found by the Army and forced to fight for his country. He received the most basic training ever given. Takashi was basically thrown onto his own home streets, which was now a torn battlefield. 20 years has past, an exhausting and devastating war had slowly ended. The U.S were slowly withdrawing his troops. After seeing his friends spill blood right in front of him, seeing children and women being raped and killed. Takashi had changed his whole view on the life he lived. After a treaty was signed by both countries, the war had ended and Japan had to pick up the pieces left behind by the bombs, mines, air strikes and bullets. As most Japanese people did then, and Asia as a continent, he fled for the great land of opportunity on a small boat. Arriving at the San Fierro Docks, successfully received his green card. He hailed a taxi and entered Los Santos. With little money, Takashi resided in Jefferson Motel and worked at the local grocery store, called the 24/7. A wise man, Takashi eventually had enough savings to run his own business right near Jefferson. Focusing on Japanese artifacts including samurais and ninja stars. Drug dealing and using was evident around the area, as residents were dealing right in front of him, as if it was a public park. From there, Takashi’s business grew into a thriving store for Japanese history admirers. Takashi had no real family besides his younger sister who escaped the country at the very beginning of the war, her name was Mai. Eventually Takashi and Mai were re-united and it was discovered to Takashi’s surprise that she had a son, Daniel. Daniel Shepard, who took his fathers American surname was quite a wise man like Takashi. Takashi and Daniel met, talked about family history and Daniel learned many lessons and qualities from Takashi. From there, Daniel slowly but surely introduced Takashi to the Los Santos underworld where anything goes. After many sleepless nights, Takashi wondered to himself if this life Daniel portrayed was worth it. With nothing left to lose, Takashi used his business as a "legal" front for not so legal activities, behind closed doors.
