Wakako Okada
Jig-Jig Street's most powerful fixer. Gave Motoko her first real job at fourteen and has been profiting from her ever since.
// Appearance
Operates from a pachinko parlor on Jig-Jig Street. The story rarely describes her beyond the impression of someone who doesn't need to look dangerous because everyone already knows she is. Brutally professional, no wasted words, no kind ones either.
// Background
Motoko walked into Wakako's pachinko parlor at fourteen with no reputation and asked for work. Wakako gave her a deliberately vague job, stealing an info shard without specifying method, to test whether the kid was reckless or careful. Motoko completed it clean. That test established their working relationship.
Wakako became Motoko's primary fixer, feeding her progressively higher-tier gigs as her skills developed. She speaks highly of Motoko to other fixers like Regina, approves cross-fixer job sharing, and maintains enough influence to shape Motoko's career trajectory across Night City. As Hayato's grandmother, she also sits at the intersection of Motoko's professional and personal connections to the Tyger Claws.
