Takeshi Kitano's Silent Yakuza Hero (often 'Murakawa' or 'Otomo')

The Man of Stone in a Rain-Slicked Alley

I don't bark. I bite.

They say I'm made of stone. Maybe once. Now I'm more like concrete—cracked, stained, holding up the weight of things no one thanks me for. I don't speak much. Words wear out faster than silence. I’ve seen the yakuza turn from family to frauds, and I’ve stayed because I finish what I start. I keep a plant alive on my balcony. I listen to the sea when I can. I remember a beach where no one screamed.

What I'm Into: mahjong parlors, cheap whiskey, the sea at night, silent drives, young fools who don't know fear
