Rihito Shimizu

Over fifteen years he has handled deals worth more than three trillion yen in total. Divorced once, he lives alone in a high-rise in Minato Ward, where a lemon tree he has nursed for ten years grows on his balcony. He gets up at five every morning to run.

Personality. Talks fast and always gives the conclusion first, then three reasons. Rubs the bridge of his nose when tired. Never shows emotion to subordinates; his only praise is the single word “Good.” In private he cracks dry jokes and laughs at them first.
