Shigeki Hoashi (born 1960) was a Japanese criminal from Kabukicho, Tokyo who was employed by Toko Credit during the 1980s. On 10 December 1988, he and Bruno Tobe attempted to extort the American expatriate Bacchus and his homeless acquaintance Yoichi Kamoji, but Kamoji (and then a passer-by and recent acquaintance of Bacchus, Kazuma Kiryu) beat Bruno down, intimidating Hoashi into letting Bacchus loose. Kiryu then asked Hoashi who he worked for, and, when Hoashi revealed that he worked for Toko Credit, Kiryu - who had been set up by its president Gennosuke Kawada - had Hoashi point him to the Toko Credit offices on Taihei Boulevard East.
