You want to know who the strongest man in the Kabuki District is? You must be new in town. You won’t last long with that attitude. Forget it. This town is on a whole different level. You got thugs, brawlers, vigilantes and rogue warriors from all over Edo here. It’s like a haven for hooligans. This is for your own good. Have a drink and go back to the countryside. What’s that? You want me to tell you about the top dogs before you go? You really like this stuff. First, there are four monsters on a level of their own: The Fierce and Divine Madamoiselle Saigo, Doromizu Jirocho the Gallant, Peacock Princess Kada and Empress Otose. The four factions are in a standoff which preserves a fragile balance of power. Who would be the strongest in a fight? You wouldn’t be able to even scratch those beasts. Saigo and Jirocho in particular, were heroes during the Joui War. Well, they’re too old to go on a tear now. If you want someone who’s currently active, there’s Katsuro Kuroguma, a young leader in the Doromizu Faction. He’s the most feared man in Kabuki District right now. You’ll also find a few former Joui in Saigo’s Faction. There are rumours about Kada’s Faction having ties to some crazy folk. Otose’s Faction? It’s just a bar, really. She’s just an old lady with a soft heart. But if you try any funny business on her turf, you’ll run into a certain guy. A guy who holds his own against the Big Three by himself. One hell of a monster, with hair that’s completely white. A demon…
