REAL NAMESHINYA NIRASAWA
THE FREERUNNER
Seeking the Spotlight to End the Yakuza
Half American and half Japanese, Shinya was always considered different, an outsider. But instead of shying away from others, he made a point of staying in the spotlight. An attention-seeker by nature, he eventually became a parkour freerunner just to get in trouble.
His family, however, faced real trouble when his father ended up owing a huge sum of money to the Yakuza and was forced to join their ranks to repay his debt. Shinya refused to accept his father's fate, and made it his personal quest to end the Yakuza's reign by any means possible.
Out of nowhere he meets Aya, a tech genius who decides to help him by creating an "Electroblade", a futuristic melee weapon, and taking charge of gathering intel. Together, they start targeting one of the sources of the Yakuza's earnings: casinos and pachinkos. Shinya infiltrates the main power sources and smashes them to pieces, while Aya takes care of any digital information on their servers.
As their fame grows, so do the dangers of their missions, and unbeknownst to them, someone is already on their trail...
