"so i was taking a walk the other day"

- Kendrick Lamar, BLOOD. (2017)

And now, for something completely different. This is a character from another story I'm still in the process of putting together, inspired by Yakuza (because of course it is). This is honestly one of my better OCs, since I've had so much time to refine him. Also, I sincerely apologize for the delay on the next BEP:R chapter. Writing's been tough recently, for whatever reason.

Also, here are some fun facts about Junya:

• Part of Junya's character (his height, fighting style, and surname) were inspired by Mr. Shakedown from Yakuza 0. In fact, this entire yakuza plotline I'm writing originally started as a Yakuza fangame I was making a while back, and I was originally going to have Junya be a Mr. Shakedown-esque miniboss. However, I scrapped it because I liked his design too much.

• Junya's favorite game is Devil May Cry and his favorite show is JJK.

• Junya's backstory was inspired by "DUCKWORTH." by Kendrick Lamar.

• Canonically, every character in-universe has a favorite artist that I use for chapter names. For example, Declan's favorite artist is canonically Coldrain, so every chapter focused on him will be named after a Coldrain song. Junya's favorite artist is Kendrick Lamar.
