Kakureta Kao Corporation

The Kakureta Kao Corporation is an association located in the Asian Prosperity Sphere. It is a secretive organisation, which has been linked to the Yakuza – the Japanese mafia.

The Corporation's Chief Executive was at one time the father of Prince Sato Uchida, leader of the Asian Prosperity Sphere. Observers believe that the Prince, though a sincere and honourable man, appears to be trapped in the shadow of the influence of the father who put him in power. Some say that his father bought the election.

Background
