Yakuza: Difference between revisions

By [[2000]], [[Asuka Kasen]] becomes the leader of the Yakuza, taking over from her brother Kazuki, although it is unknown whether her brother [[Kenji Kasen|Kenji]] is co-leader. The Yakuza lose [[Belleville Park]], [[Aspatria]], [[Pike Creek]] and [[Wichita Gardens]]. The Big Shot Casino has also been lost, although they are paid protection money from the new owner. The Yakuza do manage, however, to gain [[Bedford Point]], where Asuka bases herself. Yakuza member/associate [[Yuka]], Asuka's niece, is [[School's Out|kidnapped]] by [[Mike]] on orders from [[Colombian Cartel]] leader [[Cisco]], although Mike later rescues her on orders from Asuka. Asuka then begins to employ [[Mike]], later seemingly in love with him, and help him look for [[Vinnie|Vinnie's]] killer. Mike first collects some protection money from a casino owner, before helping the [[Liberty City Cocks]] by injuring a [[Vice City Mambas]] player, to help Asuka's gambling business. She then sends Mike to kill actor [[Biff Rock]] and bring back his shoes as proof, although Mike spares him, but does take his shoes to Asuka as proof. Mike then discovers that the [[Uptown Yardies]] are [[Sue Me Sushi|delivering bad fish]] to Asuka's sushi restaurants and then [[Down The River|kidnaps]] [[Mafia]] members to send to Asia as slaves. Mike decides to stop working for Asuka, agreeing to help her one more time by killing a rival pimp in [[Newport]]. Asuka later contacts Mike in regards to Yardies leader [[King Courtney]], who they both dislike. Asuka tells Mike [[Assault Joint|where he can locate Courtney]], but is ambushed. Later, Asuka sends some of her men to assist Mike, who then leave him to tackle the Yardies on his own. The Yakuza betrayal of Mike may have occurred due to Asuka discovering either Mike's kidnapping of Yuka or his failure to kill Biff Rock, with Asuka describing him as a 'means to an end'.
