Kaori Saejima -

For newcomers, the surname "Saejima" immediately evokes the hulking, mountain-like figure of —the legendary patriarch of the Sasai family and a man convicted of 18 murders. Kaori Saejima is his younger sister. However, she is not merely a plot device or a damsel in distress. In Yakuza 5 , she operates as the emotional anchor for one of the game’s most melancholic narrative arcs.
