Kazuo Akuji

Kazuo Akuji was the founder and true leader behind The Ronin, and served as the main antagonist of the Ronin arc. He was the father of Shogo Akuji, and controlled all of the gang's operations worldwide. Mr. Akuji never liked his son Shogo, whom he saw as a liability, and constantly referred to as an idiot. Shogo in contrast, was always trying to win his father's approval, but never succeeded due to his constant failures. To make up for having to put up with Shogo, Mr. Akuji often put his trust, respect, and favoritism in his favorite lieutenant Jyunichi. Mr. Akuji was apparently world renowned for his skills as not only a successful businessman, but also as a ruthless and effective leader. He was also an old enemy of Mr Wong, and the two of them considered each other mortal foes. Mr. Akuji was a merciless man, who's fiery temper was only dwarfed by his expertise as a master swordsman.
