Biography
Jyunichi is the second-in-command and chief enforcer of The Ronin. He is a tall young man with a muscular body. His head is always shaven and he has numerous Japanese-style tattoos on several parts of his body. Jyunichi is very skilled in sword fighting, to the extent that he can effectively wield Dual Samurai Swords and never uses a gun. He also has a great sense of honor, and practices strict temperance against hedonism. Jyunichi is very loyal and respectful to almost all Ronin members who possess a higher ranking than him. The only exception would be Shogo Akuji, who aside from being an ineffective leader, lacks the honor, valor, and discipline Jyunichi expects one in Shogo's position to have.

After the Saints robbed the Poseidon's Palace, Shogo sent Jyunichi to scout the Saints for any possible weakness. He found one in Aisha, Gat's lover and girlfriend. While Gat and The Protagonist were busy elsewhere, Jyunichi broke into Aisha's house and set up a trap, tying Aisha to a chair and telling her he would let her live if she cooperated. However, as Gat and The Protagonist entered the house, Aisha shouted a warning, prompting Jyunichi to instantly decapitate her. Gat barged in to find his lover dead, his house filled with Ronin, and his lover's murderer before him. Gat kills one of the Ronin close to the door and manages to take his katana, Jyunichi unsheathing one of his own and beginning to fight Gat while The Protagonist killed Jyunichi's men. One Ronin aimed his gun towards Gat, only to have it knocked out of his hand by a well-thrown sword by Jyunichi, as he declared, "He's mine!" in Japanese. The Protagonist told Gat to move so he could get a clear shot at Jyunichi, Johnny turns as The Protagonist speaks, losing his footing and Jyunichi quickly stabs him in the stomach. With The Protagonist unable to help due to his gun being empty, Jyunichi retreats as The Protagonist reloads.

While going to the airport to pick up Kazuo Akuji, Jyunichi spotted The Protagonist and Pierce making their way to Kazuo's plane, Jyunichi thus broke through the airport security and warned Kazuo ahead of time. Kazuo's entourage stayed behind to help guard their leader's escape. When Shogo called to ask for his father, Jyunichi berates him, saying that he should have been the one to protect his father, and should have been there when his father landed.

Shogo, angered by Jyunichi's words, anonymously calls The Protagonist, and gives him the location of Jyunichi, Kanto, Jyunichi then challenged The Protagonist to a sword duel, his own Ronin helping him. Jyunichi fought The Protagonist to the death.
