KUMICHO【組長】

The main icon KUMICHO depicts the Tosa dog, a symbol of Japanese combat since ancient times.
The tattoo on his back portrays Benkei, a figure whose name is etched into Japan’s ancient history.
To express reverence for Benkei’s life and death,
it features the chrysanthemum, universally recognized as a flower of mourning.

Benkei vowed to defeat 1,000 warriors and seize their swords,
acquiring 999 blades before being defeated by his 1,000th opponent, Ushiwakamaru (Minamoto no Yoshitsune).
From then on, he served as Ushiwakamaru’s retainer and continued to fight.

When enemy forces attacked Ushiwakamaru,
Benkei fought desperately to protect his sworn master.
Though pierced by countless arrows and finally exhausted,
the power of his soul, determined to shield Ushiwakamaru, kept Benkei standing even after death.

Never falling, no matter what.
