Biography
Life up to 2001
Kenji Kasen was born in Japan and moved to Liberty City in 1996 to join his siblings Asuka and Kazuki in managing the Yakuza. He later returned to Japan at the some point before 1998, but came back to the city at said year to replace his older brother Kazuki as leader of the Yakuza alongside Asuka after his death.
2001
In 2001 Kenji opened his casino, Kenji's Casino, in Torrington, the same place his brother Kazuki had owned his casino. Kenji joins his sister in becoming the co-leader of the Yakuza and begins to employ Claude on advice from his sister. He has Claude prove himself, despite Asuka's assurances, and, due to his fierce belief in loyalty, has him break Kanbu out of prison.
Kenji, impressed with Claude's ability, has him collect three sports cars and deposit them in a garage, ambush a deal between the Colombian Cartel and the Uptown Yardies, collect briefcases of protection money and kill many members of the Uptown Yardies who were selling the drug SPANK.
Claude later begins to work for media mogul Donald Love who employs him to kill Kenji whilst posing as a member of the Colombian Cartel, driving a Cartel Cruiser, to start a gang war in order to drive down property prices.
