Tobe (戸部) is a minor recurring character in the Yakuza series first introduced in the original Yakuza. He is the proprietor of Bantam.
Involvement[]
Yakuza/Yakuza Kiwami: 2005[]
Tobe takes over Bacchus after the previous bar owner is gunned down, renaming it Bantam.
Yakuza 2/Yakuza Kiwami 2: 2006[]
Bought out by the Sengoku Family, Tobe gathers a group of men who try to attack Kiryu to repay the debt they amassed from the damage caused by the events of the previous year, but this fails. Kiryu forgives Tobe and suggests that he try running the bar for at least a few more months, suggesting that trade may pick up soon. Tobe refers to Kiryu by name after this whenever he comes in to order a drink.

Notes[]
- ↑ The given height of 168 cm (5′ 6″) is based on the character model's scaling factor within Yakuza Kiwami 2's data.[1] For Dragon Engine games, this method is believed to be very accurate (±2 cm). However, this is intended as an estimate, not a substitute for an official statistic.
