Fujimura
More chrome than flesh, more authority than patience. Kamikaze unit commander, Jun's superior, and the man who backhanded Motoko across the face and lived to regret the look she gave him.
// Appearance
Heavily borged to the point where flesh is the minority opinion. A blazing multicolored cybereye dominates one side of his face. His voice carries a robotic edge from vocal chrome. Despite the bulk of military-grade cyberware, he moves with the deliberate precision of someone who chose every piece of chrome for function, not style. Plays piano at his underground bar in Little China, which is the only time anyone sees him do something that isn't terrifying.
// Background
Tyger Claw lieutenant and commander of the Kamikaze, the TC's elite cyberpsycho-adjacent assault unit. Fujimura first appears at a ripper clinic where Motoko is recovering, delivering a cold reminder that Jun spent serious favors getting her treated and the Claws expect repayment. He leads Kamikaze raids personally, charges through second-floor windows, and criticizes anyone who takes a wound on what he considers a basic operation.
His relationship with Motoko started hostile. He backhanded her across the face for costing the Kamikaze resources. She promised to take his hand next time. He accepted the threat without flinching. Over time, respect grew through demonstrated competence. He gave her an Oni menpo mask as proof of TC protection, offered a direct line to his assistant, and eventually moved both siblings into a secure floor of a TC building down the hall from his own apartment. Fujimura pushes people toward ambition whether they want it or not. He told Motoko she lacked it, then quietly kept opening doors until she walked through them.
