#17 Ikegami Hideo

Every group needs a funny guy. And that was Hideo when it came to the rest of the gang. After years & years of service, he’s only officially reached the rank of big brother. And only because he’s funny. In fact, in every other regard, Hideo was pretty much a screw up. He’s lucky to have lasted as long as he have among the ranks, with as many fingers as he still has. But luckily, he’s laid low enough to keep the blade away from his belly. Funny & lucky. That was Hideo. At least until one day, when that luck seemingly ran out.

There was a raid. Tokyo police clamped down & arrested every high ranking member of the family. In the commotion, Hideo started to run. He made his way to an alley, only to lead police on a back street chase. For his trouble, he received two gunshot wounds: one to the gut & one to the side of the head. He died. He remembered it happening.

So imagine his surprise when he woke up, with gaping wounds & permanently red eyes (like his retinas detached). He should be dead, but he’s not & he doesn’t know how or why. And while he’s not the head of the family, his standing among the remaining family is now substantially higher. And they’re looking to hold down their remaining territory from their violent rivals & possibly spring their captive comrades. If that wasn’t stressful enough, some mysterious young girl is after him. Every time he turns around, there she is. Worst yet, despite her innocuous appearance, she’s apparently an unstoppable killing machine. And he’s her main target. He doesn’t know what’s going on, but he’s received this second chance & he’s not going to give it up without a fight.

I screwed up the legs & feet because I was running out of paper & had to fudge it in photoshop. His feet make him look like he’s floating right now. And that works for his character, so whatever.

Hideo when it came to the rest of the gang.

After years & years of service, he’s only

officially reached the rank of big brother.

And only because he’s funny. In fact, in every

other regard, Hideo was pretty much a fuck up.

He’s lucky to have lasted as long as he have

among the ranks. He’s lacking a few digits, &

had to eat his hat on numerous ocassions, but

has certainly kept the blade away from his

belly. That was until one day, when that luck

seemingly ran out.

There was a raid. Tokyo police clamped down &

arrested every high ranking member of the

family. In the commotion, Hideo started to

run. He made his way to an alley, only to lead

police on a back street chase. For his

trouble, he received two gunshot wounds: one

to the gut & one to the side of the head.

Now, Hideo is among one of defacto heads of

the family on this side of prison bars. And

they’re all bent on survival.

But this girl
