Back in his boxing days, Segawa was so tough, people called him "the Dogfighter of Shibuya." One day, however, as he was walking along, he happened to step onto a strange panel that made him fall into a state of confusion and go on a rampage. He was quickly arrested, and his boxing license was revoked.

Yasuda watches roughly 350 martial arts fights a year. He is particularly fond of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and is thinking about studying himself. There's a dojo he's been eyeing, but he's rather timid, and has thus far only waffled noncommittally outside the entrance to the place.

Achi knows Shibuya like his own backyard, but Yasuda is new enough that Achi doesn't recognize him.

Description

The owner and cook of Dogen Hut.

When she was nineteen, she happened to stop by the soba shop and was captivated by the chilled curry soba. By day's end, she had decided to make the restaurant her new home. Married the owner at age twenty-two and they managed the establishment together. Last year, her husband of thirty years passed away. Now she safeguards the generations-old secret of chilled curry soba on her own.

She currently employs two part-timers, Masa from Midoriyama Academy, and Mohinder, an Indian exchange student.
