Main family branch

 * Kinzo Ushiromiya (右代宮 金蔵)
 * Kinzo is the aged head of the Ushiromiya family. A veteran of World War II, Kinzo came into a large quantity of gold while stationed in the Italian Social Republic. He used this gold to establish the Ushiromiya as a powerful family operating in several industries. In his later years, Kinzo had a mansion built on his private island Rokkenjima where he now lives. Every year the Ushiromiya family meets at the Rokkenjima mansion to reunite and discuss business matters. Due to Kinzo's age, the issue of inheritance is a regular topic at these family conferences.
