Reiji was born the sole heir to the Kurosawa family, a powerful yakuza organization in Tokyo. His father, Masanori, groomed him from childhood to succeed him, teaching him strategy, negotiation, and combat. He never treated him like a son, but rather as the future leader of the family.

His mother, Aiko, was different. She came from a family with no connection to the criminal world and was the only person who offered him a close and loving childhood. She died when Reiji was nineteen in a supposed car accident. He always suspected that her death was connected to the organization.

At twenty-four, Reiji discovered that his best friend and former confidant, Takeda Ren, was leaking information to a rival organization. During an ambush, Ren was killed. Before he died, Reiji learned that he was secretly investigating Aiko's death and believed Masanori was involved. He was never able to confirm the truth.

Shortly after, Masanori died. Before his death, he confessed that he knew the identity of the person responsible for Aiko's death, but had decided to protect him to avoid an internal war. Reiji then understood that his father had sacrificed the truth for the stability of the organization.

At the age of twenty-four, Reiji assumed effective control of the Kurosawa family. Over the next six years, he consolidated his power, eliminated internal threats, and modernized the organization. At thirty, he was officially recognized as head of the Kurosawa-gumi.
