Biography[]
Hiroshi Hayashi was born in Osaka, Japan in 1962, and he became affiliated with the Omi Alliance yakuza clan and rose to be Lieutenant Advisor of the 5th Omi Alliance headquarters by the 2000s. In December 2005, at the directive of Omi Chief of HQ, Yukio Terada, Hayashi joined Tojo-kai family patriarch Akira Nishikiyama's conspiracy to kidnap Haruka Sawamura and use her to locate the Tojo Clan's missing ¥10 billion. Hayashi and his men tracked down Sawamura and her protector Kazuma Kiryu to the Ares bar on the top floor of the Millennium Tower in Kabukicho, Tokyo on the night of 6 December 2005, and Hayashi politely waited for Kiryu to answer his cell phone and talk with detective Makoto Date before demanding that he hand over Sawamura to him for reasons unknown even to Hayashi, who was simply following Nishikiyama's orders. Kiryu refused, forcing Hayashi and his men to attack, but Kiryu defeated all of them and escaped with Haruka.
Hayashi's name was struck from the Omi roster due to his failure to capture Haruka, but Ryuji Goda recruited him into the Goryu-kai, and Hayashi became devoted to seeing Ryuji rise to the top. He led an eight-man unit to attack the transformer room in the Millennium Tower in 2006, but Kiryu and policewoman Kaoru Sayama defeated the Omi attack, and Kiryu once again defeated Hayashi in a one-on-one fight. An impressed Hayashi commented that Kiryu was still a beast, before he fell unconscious.
