Iwakado

Iwakado had a burly, mountain-like physique and was naturally extraordinarily strong. In his teens, he made a name for himself at local sumo venues, sweeping his opponents. However, Iwakado was not content with glory in the ring. His ambitions extended far beyond — he set his sights on the underworld, leveraging his fame and strength to rise swiftly in the criminal world and become a feared leader.

Iwakado's gangster career was as simple and violent as his sumo style. He roamed unchecked with a pair of iron palms, crushing anything in his path, whether rival gangs or disobedient subordinates. This reckless lifestyle ultimately brought about a catastrophic downfall. A meticulously planned police raid uprooted his empire, and although Iwakado took down dozens of SWAT officers barehanded in the melee, he was eventually captured due to being outnumbered.

Among the prisoners on Isle of the Banished, Iwakado is an outlier. He refuses to integrate into any existing faction and disdains to bow and scrape. He enjoys practicing sumo shirtless in the prison yard, his thunderous stomping resembling the beating of drums, causing even the ground to tremble. Whenever a new prisoner arrives, he personally welcomes them with a one-sided contest to make it clear who is the overlord of this area.

Despite Iwakado appearing to be a brute who only understands violence, he is not without intelligence. He keenly perceives that the balance of power on the Isle of the Banished is shifting, particularly the standoff between the Regulatory Authority and the Hurricane Corps. He plans to exploit the chaos to fish in troubled waters, seeking new opportunities in his own way on this land. However, he never mentions the sole surviving subordinate from the raid that led to his arrest—a young man he regarded as a brother, who remains missing to this day.
