Kazutaka Hyoudou

Wealthy socialite and president of the powerful financial consulting firm “Teiai Group,” not to mention owner and sponsor of underground gambling tournaments like those onboard Espoir. Hyoudou Kazutaka is believed to be seventy years old and worth several hundred billion yen. Driven mad by wealth, conventional hobbies fail to entertain him, so he funds gambling tournaments to watch the destitute of society struggle against overwhelming terror and despair.
