OTORI (Hero’s Japanese mentor)
The hero’s first contact in Japan, Otori will become a veritable mentor. An ex-Yakuza who left the organization for moral reasons and for his daughter, Mariko’s, future, he owns a Dojo, where the hero spends a lot of time. Along with other traditional martial arts, he is a sword master and will share his wealth of knowledge with the hero. For him, the sword is not a weapon, but a necessary tool in learning self-mastery. The reasons for using it must be noble and justified. Having already been involved with the Japanese mafia, he refuses to help the hero directly, by implicating himself in that world.
