Otomo Tōru

Otomo Tōru is a Yamataian Gokudo member and one of the Imperial Security Agency's most wanted fugitives. Wanted for multiple counts of murder, criminal activity, violence, rioting, and illegal weapons usage, the 73-year old gangster is one of the deadliest Gokudo members in history, and is believed to have killed over 140 people over the course of his criminal career, of which only seven have been proven by the authorities. There is a reward of 11 million En for information leading to his arrest.

Otomo built his reputation early during the violent Gokudo wars during the Golden Age of Gangsters in the 1980s and 1990s, eventually becoming the patriarch of the Otomo Family, a medium-sized gang in Niihama's Awamachi district under the Tojo-kai. The Otomo Family became a major player in the gang war that erupted in 1998 between the Tojo-kai and the Murase-gumi, during which he was first arrested for discharging a firearm in an urban area, though no murder charges were pressed. During his time in prison, he was stabbed by a rival gang member, but survived. He was released from prison in 2003, aligning himself with the Okayama-based Hanabishi-kai and leading their assault on the Tojo-kai in mid 2003, during which he was first wanted for multiple counts of murder following his participation in a gunfight that was caught on security cameras.

The National Agency of Safety Enforcement and Imperial Security Agency were both unable to locate Otomo from mid-2004, fuelling speculation that he had left the country. In 2008, Otomo was spotted overseeing prostitution activities in Chisei, apparently under the protection of a Chowado family. He showed up again in 2012 during the Hanabishi-kai Civil War, but authorities believe that he was not a major player in the war, though he was believed to be behind another three deaths during this era. Underworld rumours suggested that Otomo had been killed in the civil war, but in 2016 he was spotted in Onomichi.

It is suspected that Otomo is currently hiding in Chisei or Chanha.

Popular culture
Due to his unusually high body count and the mystery surrounding his whereabouts, Otomo is one of the most famous Gokudo members in modern Yamatai. Two largely fictitious biographies have been published in Otomo's name, though spokespersons of the Hanabishi-kai have denied the legitimacy of the books.

In 2018, the film was made based on Otomo's participation in the 1998 gang war. The film was one of the highest-grossing Yamataian films of the year, despite heavy opposition from Yamataian parent's groups and anti-violent media lobbies against its release. The film received a Level 5 Restriction rating (limiting viewing to adults 21 years old and above) by the Ministry of Culture and Communications.
