Underworld Characters
Prior to joining Kagura Co. ver. 3, its leader, Ryuu, was a yakuza gun-for-hire, as was his former girlfriend and current Kagura Co. ver. 4 member, Maki Umezaki. Volume 3 of the manga has Maki returning to the underworld to help guard a diamonds for cash exchange, and she's coerced into doing so again in the "150 Tons of Dynamite" arc in volumes 8 and 9, and the Breakthrough OAV. Maki tries to stay away from the underworld by telling her former contacts that she's an office lady now at a regular security company. Few of the yakuza members reappear very often, with the main exceptions being Chan, a Chinese diamonds broker, and "Blue Shooting Star", a hired gun that challenges Maki for the title of "Shooting Star". One running gag is that all hired guns in the underworld have nicknames, such as "Luger Ryuu" and "Tokarev Masa", which consists of the weapon name followed by an alias.
