* Enji is a powerful politician that arranged his marriage to Rei, and marriage into the elite Himura crime family, because he needed to secure a steady source of income in order to further his career and what are morals anyway?
* The Himura clan rank near the top of local Yakuza family hierarchy because they've long maintained a near-flawless legitimate front, but now upstart clans are making inroads on their territory and they hope that a Prime Minister son-in-law will bring them the permanent legitimacy they need
* Touya was initially groomed to join the future political dynasty but a wild and violent streak led to him being disowned from the Todoroki side of the family and shuffled into the Yakuza in his late teens instead. He's still loyal to the Himura clan but his whereabouts are currently unknown
* Watching the degradation of her first son's mental health, and then seeing him handed off to her family so they could make use of his madness, caused Rei to suffer a nervous collapse that Enji keeps under tight wraps by shuffling her in and out of the hospital with the excuse of a "weak consititution."
* Fuyumi is a reluctant socialite who would rather tend to the home or go to school like her little brothers, but has been tasked with finding the right partner for another strategic marriage
* Natsuo despised his father from an early age because he saw the effects of his father's iron rule over Touya more closely than anyone else, and the trauma bonding caused him to develop a love for his brother that bordered on worship. His abandonment and eventual disappearance only deepened the rift between Natsuo and Enji, but his father barely even seemed to notice - he'd already decided to skip his second son and make the the baby of the family, Shouto, his heir. After all, Natsuo's continuing loyalty to Touya could only mean trouble
* Natsuo struck a deal with Enji and the head of the Himura clan: he would be released from any responsibility to either family as long as he never came back to try and claim his birthright or fed any information about the Himura clan to authorities. If either happened, his life would immediately be forfeit.
* While Natsuo wanted to find his brother, he knew he was much too soft for Yakuza life and instead chose a legitimate path: post-secondary medical schooling, with athletics on the side
