Biography[]
Hideshi Hatsushiba was born in Tokyo, Japan, and he became a yakuza gangster affiliated with the Tojo-kai's Shibata-gumi. Hatsushiba became close with Kazuo Shibata, and he came to head his own family, the Hatsushiba-kai. In March 2010, Shibata ordered Hatsushiba to track down Yasuko Saejima, so Hatsushiba sent his captain Takumi Midorikawa to steal the client registry of Sky Finance. Midorikawa stole the registry and kidnapped Takeshi Kido, but Sky Finance owner Shun Akiyama tracked them down to Hatsushiba's underground hideout. There, he knocked out the formidable Midorikawa and forced Hatsushiba to hand over the registry before revealing Shibata's role in its theft.
