Rokkun
Rokkun is one of Sotenbori's most connected information brokers. Like most in the business of information, he is reclusive to the point where nobody knows what he looks like. Most of his clients do not even know his voice. He communicates primarily through artifacts like dead drops.
This page is pretty unfinished. Weasel plans to get to it eventually. Probably.

Smeckledorf07/21/2020 >Info broker ....Rokkun is one of Kouji's contacts/connections Resident Weasel: Code Voleronica07/21/2020 Kouji had better have a stomach for James Bond rigmarole check the dead drop spike in the rock garden outside the sushi restaurant. do not open it until you are inside Don Quixote and standing by the neck ties. it ends up containing a small slip of paper that just says, "Thank you for following instructions." and then a cat drops by with a collar with a note tied to it, with your name on it and that has the info on it the trick is he trains the cats to seek out the smell of the dead drop spike, by like, soaking the little slip of paper in catnip tea his little secret spy network of stray cats is what keeps Sotenbori's world of info going round. heh Smeckledorf07/21/2020 "I must say, his methods of gathering and spreading information are certainly complicated, but at the same time, i can respect a man with brains like his." -Kouji, regarding Rokkun Resident Weasel: Code Voleronica07/21/2020 I'm sorta envisioning him as a Japanese Dale Gribble, with an extra note of... I forget his name, the rough cut CIA guy from Far Cry 3 he's clearly just some nerd and doesn't have real experience with the intelligence community, but he's done his homework and can run an Intel ring like few others can by that i mean he's never worked for a government agency it's why Wada doesn't know him - since he's with a government agency, even if that agency isn't Japanese, and doesn't deal on information "So what's stopping me from calling the cops on you?" "You think Kansai's finest are gonna believe some foreigner? Even if you told em to look for stray cats wearing mics or cams, it wouldn't take me much to recall all of them until the trail runs cold. I hold the cards in this relationship, and that's what keeps it going." "Now... you want the goods on what happened under the Iwao Bridge, go find the spike I buried at the golfing range. Ask for Tee Number 1B." Smeckledorf07/21/2020 "Personally, I'm a man of my word: if someone's trade has to remain a secret, then my lips are sealed. Rokkun and I are both info dealers, and we both end up receiving the same news anyways, even if we deal it through different methods." Kouji's info-dealing is through a series of keywords. Resident Weasel: Code Voleronica07/21/2020 "And remember to tell my courier she's pretty. She doesn't like to come home without some positive reinforcement." "Kamurocho? Course I know what goes on in Kamurocho. Can't quite do it the same way though. Not since some idiot opened a cat cafe and started adopting street rescues. Nah, I gotta go through... slightly more official means up there. No worries. I know people."
Vignettes
"So you're some kind of spy? Info broker?" "Urban intelligence, is what I call it. The field used to be called foreign intelligence, but that was back when the Cold War was still officially going. Unofficially, of course, we know things haven't changed that much since '91." "Except now you're spying on your own people." "Always have been, dear client. Always have been. All in the name of personal security. And you can quit trying to find which window I'm looking out of; I'm not in any of them. Just because I see you doesn't mean I'm there."
