"It is fitting that I kill you myself. You two! Leave us! I am going to enjoy thrusting my sword into you!"

- Kazuki Kasen

Kazuki Kasen is a villain from Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. He is the older brother of Kenji Kasen and Asuka Kasen.

Early Life
Kazuki Kasen was born in Japan. He moved to the United States with his younger siblings. Later, he married a woman named Toshiko. However, this was an attempt for Kazuki to become the leader of the Yakuza. When Kazuki became the leader, he bought a casino to increase the Yakuza's standing in Liberty City. Overtime, the casino was successful and provided the Yakuza with money to increase their operations.

Weakening
Toshiko feels neglected by her husband and decides to weaken his empire. She hires Toni Cipriani to steal Yakuza's shipment of arms and deliver it to Phil Cassidy. Toshiko then hires Toni to destroy three vans containing some of the Yakuza's money before they reach Kazuki's casino.

Death
When Kazuki finds out about Toni's actions, he develops a desire for revenge. Toni confronts Kazuki on the roof of his casino. Both of them engage in a sword duel. Kazuki is skilled but Toni manages to survive. He decapitates Kazuki and leaves the body. When Toshiko hears about her husband's death, she kills herself by committing suicide.

Trivia

 * Toshiko states that Kazuki is a samurai. Kazuki is likely either a descendant of a samurai family or he follows the Bushido code.
 * Kazuki is alluded to being a closeted bisexual. Toshiko tells Toni that Kazuki prefers the company of his men and then she asks Toni if he understands. Kazuki teases Toni by saying "I am going to enjoy thrusting my sword into you". Toni responds by saying "Yeah, I've heard that about you".
