Taro Kobayshi

,a master thief, 25 years old, who sometimes works for the different syndicates of the yakuza, but clearly wants to remain independent. Think of him as a cross between the Ocean's Eleven experts and Lara Croft, of Tomb raider fame. He can as easily hijack a hand-held prototype of a quantum computer as steal an amulet from a haunted Cambodian temple. He is wearing Google-glasses most of the time and is very tech-savvy.He is the lover of the kitsune girl HOSHI
