BEFORE ARK1: Want to come watch, or participate in some clean street fights? Need some help from some sleazy loan shark? Kagemaru’s clan where you want to go. Although they have many business. The KageMaru clan is one of the first and smallest of the Yakuza clans at this moment. Known to be publicly open they do not Associate themselves with the drug, and gun trades of Kasaihana city. They keep to themselves, and rarely need help. But when they do, they would go to the brother clan the Soramaru for just that. The Kagemaru clan is mostly for the community, helping out schools, putting all of the kids who can’t do it on there on from District 1 into schools and colleges and other programs. But even though they are known for these kind-hearted natures don’t let it fool you. The Kagemaru clan is known to be highly brutal in combat and even have their own style that is taught to the young guys when they first join up.
'DURING ARK1 'Keyome Tasanagi's REIGN: During this time, Keyome Tasanagi the young 18 year old who was given the chance to be a chairman for the clan. Was currently keeping the traditional ways of the Kagemaru clan, making sure to follow the code and to continue to fund for the kids within district 1, and also keeping up with the street fights within the area. Kagemaru’s are a bit higher in numbers at this point, and most of them if not all live in district 1 so they mostly all have the same martial arts teachers. But now they have a car selling program which is under table… and is ran by the Aniki, or 2nd in command Hajiame. They make a good amount of money and do so quietly. Up until Danchou… the current Soramaru chairmen ( is dead now), destroyed the club where they operated. And is currently hunting the rest of the clan down. Little is known up until now.

During Ark 2 the Kagemaru’s clan had finally started to begin a new on the rise to power after the hard hit of being completely eradicated they made their way slowly back to the top. Also with the GMAF it placed the clan back on the map and currently for a year the richest clan within Kasaihana city. Under Keyome Tasanagi’s supervision they began to increase in there illegal fighting syndicates also starting a drug trade with Columbia and Japan without Keyome Tasanagi’s notice. His Right hand man Hajiame had disappeared leaving Tasanagi to seek out a new Aniki in his place. He did successed in finding one but He'd soon fire her after seeing that she wasnt of much help with her mind on boys. Realizing that dispite her age she was still a young girl.
