The Asakura Gumi is a very old Criminal Syndicate, and Yakuza Family established in New Edo. Extremely conservative, the Asakura Gumi only allows for pure humans to take positions of power within the Family.

One of their greatest feats was to replace most of the established Corporate Security Companies on their own: Rising Sun Technologies, a legal front that has allowed them to reach military contracts with different providers of weaponry and vehicles as one of the main providers of Corporate Security on New Edo.

The Oyabun, Asakura Shinnosuke, is a man driven by goals and objectives, nearing seventy years old, it's rumored that he has started to undergo very expensive biotechnological treatments to extend his life. Although this information would very difficult be found out outside his trusted Circle of Kumichos, he continues to have a very tight grip on important operations concerning his Syndicate.

He has never been arrested, proving he either has had a firm control and influence over Corporate Law Enforcement organizations or an extremely good team of lawyers, his maximum accomplishment came when Rising Sun Technologies was given several security contracts in New Edo, allowing himself to increase his operations and to continuously give Rising Sun small-time criminals to arrest.

Now, on the apex of his syndicate's existence, his new objective is to make the Asakura Gumi an undisputed force in the Council of Oyabuns in Neo Tokyo, rumored to have started shady deals with smaller families to increase his own influence, as well as starting to gather incriminatory information of fellow Oyabuns, he is a man on a mission.
