Origin and Background: (Japanese) Tokusuke Manabe was a low level member of the Kimuro clan of the Yamaguchi-gumi Yakuza. He nospent most of his time either acting as muscle in one of the Yamaguchi-gumi controlled gambling establishments or as an enforcer collecting the "shinogi" (protection money) that the local businesses paid for protection and security.
He was a lowly cog in the machine (of the Yamaguchi-gumi Yakuza) running non-essential jobs for his Kyodai ("Big Brother"). Then one day he was assigned to pick up a rare and ancient document, known as the Okakami Scroll, for his Kyodai. He drove to the right location just out side of Tokyo and he found an old man who carried a black case. Tokusuke took possession of the case and started to head back to Tokyo.
On the way back, he was ambushed by a rival Yakuza family. Bullets riddled his car and it took all his strength to keep from crashing. He grabbed the case and jumped from theshattered frame of the car. He grunted as he hit the ground and he lost his grip on the suitcase. To his horror the case had opened and the scroll had tumbled out. He swore and then very gently lifted the scroll back to its resting place and then closed the case and locked it tight. He then darted for the nearby buildings and lost his attackers.
Some hours later, Kyodai had made it back to his apartment. He was exhausted and his hand, the one that touched the scroll, was so cold and he had lost all feeling in it. He dialed his Kyodai on his mobile phone. There was no answer. It would ring on and on. By that point the icy cold numbness had gone all the way past his right elbow. He tried to wrap towels around his arm to keep it warm but the coldness was spreading too fast.
Suddenly he dropped to his knees and clasped at his chest. Grasping for air, he fell to the floor unconscious. A few minutes later the door suddenly bursts open as a bunch of dark suited goons barge into the apartment. One of the rival Yakuza mooks saw the briefcase and quickly grabbed it. Another pointed at the ice encased Kyodai. They left him dead lying on the floor.
Several hours would pass when Tokusuke would suddenly move and groan. He had been changed by the curse of the Okakami Scroll. His body of flesh and blood has been replaced with a body of solidified ice. His mind didn't dwell on his new physical condition. Instead he was only thinking of recovering the Okakami Scroll. He was honour bound to return the scroll to his Kyodai.
He was able to track the goons back to their headqurters in Northern Tokyo. He did a front-on assault on their building and froze or simply killed all he encountered. He killed the enemy Kyodai by thrusting his sharp ice spurs into his neck. He seized the Okakami case and left the building.
He made his way to his Kyodai's place only to find out that he had been killed along with his shatei (little brothers). Senzawa Taro, the Kimuro Wakagashira (first lieutenant), was there and he recived the Okakami Scroll from the now transformed Tokusuke. Senzawa knew he had something special in Tokusuke. He would train Tokusuke to be a hitman/assassin for the Yamaguchi-gumi Yakuza.
