Like A Dragon

Iwami is a bespectacled, elderly man with tanned skin with prominent white hair and several wrinkles on his face. , donned in a burgundy business suit, a shirt with a segmented pattern underneath and a golden tie.

Iwami is a shrewd man who built a global shipbuilding company based in Onomichi, from the ground up. Given this career history, he would seem to be quite old, but he is an elderly gentleman whose dignity does not betray his age. Iwami is a man of wisdom and has an eye for talent, recruiting Toru Hirose to his side after he infiltrated his docks as a teenager, appreciating the then boy's bravery and physical aptitude, whereas most Yakuza would have such an offender punished even with fatal retaliation. He cared greatly for Hirose, being a fatherly figure to him, nurturing him in the criminal ways, while also rewarding his services handsomely, all of which did nothing but earn him absolute loyalty from Hirose himself and it can be assumed this was extended by any of his henchmen, thereby securing his position in Hiroshima with the devotion of many. Despite his insight, Iwami was self-righteous to the point of extreme delusion, viewing himself as Hiroshima's protector.

A successful businessman, he was contracted by the military for a top-secret project in Hiroshima, which would become the Yamato Mark II. The war passed and the Yamato was of no use, so he was ordered to dismantle it to hide evidence that could lead to a government scandal. Iwami refused, and used this blackmail Minoru Daidoji and gain influence in the country's politics. The secret of Onomichi is also what led to the founding of the Yomei Alliance: the purpose of the alliance was to keep the ship a secret and establish a foothold for the dirty work of Iwami Shipbuilding in Hiroshima, thus why the Yomei never needed to attempt to expand. Over the years, he successfully grew the Yomei to the third most-powerful yakuza clan in Japan. His true, life-long mission is to protect the secret of Onomichi at all costs, going so far as to order the assassinations of any friends, employees, and associates that could possibly expose the secret to the world
