She became co-leader of the [[Yakuza]] following the [[Cash in Kazuki's Chips|death]] of Kazuki at the hands of [[Leone Family]] mobster [[Toni Cipriani]]. After becoming co-leader she moved to [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] and bought a [[Asuka Kasen's Condo|condo]] in the [[Newport]] district of [[Staunton Island]].

In [[2000]] she is joined in Liberty City by her niece, [[Yuka]], who is [[School's Out|kidnapped]] by [[Mike]] on orders from [[Cisco]], the leader of the [[Colombian Cartel]]. Asuka, unaware of Mike's role in Yuka's kidnapping, contacts him to [[Kid's A Hero|rescue her]], which he does. Mike gains the trust of Asuka after rescuing Yuka and begins working for her, [[Ante Up|collecting money]] from a casino owner, [[Two-Hand Toss|injuring]] a [[Vice City Mambas]] football player, [[Scorned Lover|killing]] [[Biff Rock]] (although Mike spares his life, convincing Asuka he killed him), [[Sue Me Sushi|identifying and kidnapping]] a truck driver delivering rotten fish to her sushi restaurants, [[Down The River|kidnap]] a number of [[Mafia]] mobsters and [[Bad Pimpin'|killing]] a pimp.

[[Sayonara Salvatore|She tasks Claude with killing his former boss, Salvatore Leone, which he does.]] She later orders him [[Under Surveillance|kill]] a number of Leone Family hitmen located opposite her brothers [[Kenji's Casino|casino]], a [[Liberty Tree]] [[Paparazzi Purge|reporter]] and an [[Two-Faced Tanner|undercover]] [[LCPD in GTA III Era|police officer]] named [[Tanner]]. Asuka, satisfied of Claude's abilities, introduces him to her brother Kenji and corrupt police officer [[Ray Machowski]], who both employ him on Asuka's word. | ||
Claude, always looking for work, begins to work for businessman and media mogul [[Donald Love]], who has him [[Waka-Gashira Wipeout|kill]] Kenji Kasen, disguised as a Colombian Cartel member, to spark a gang war to drive down real estate prices. Asuka, enraged by her brothers death, attacks a Cartel-controlled construction site and captures a wounded [[Miguel]], torturing him for information about Cartel business, also teaching Maria in the art of torture. With the information gained from Miguel, she has Claude [[Bait|kill]] three Cartel death squads, [[Espresso-2-Go!|stop]] the sale of [[SPANK]] by the [[Uptown Yardies]] and [[S.A.M.|steal]] SPANK packages at [[Francis International Airport, Shoreside Vale|Francis International Airport]], after which he returns to the the construction site to find Asuka and Miguel [[Ransom (GTA III)|dead]].
