The Red Peacocks was a Japanese street gang that was based in the Soemoncho district of Osaka, Japan during the 2010s. Led by Akira Guren, the Red Peacocks were known for their red clothing and for their violence against civilians, causing Dotonbori to acquire a negative reputation. Kazuma Kiryu, working for the Akame Network, was recruited to take the gang down, and he defeated all of its members in street battles before defeating Guren himself. Guren persuaded Kiryu to take him under his wing and cultivate him into a fighter at "the Castle", and Kiryu recruited him into the Joryu-kai.
