The man who would be known as Ieyasu Imura, was Sam Imura, who as a teenager was framed for a murder he didn't commit. Sentenced to life in prison, he was sent to the island penitentiary Alcatraz, off the coast of San Francisco. After spending an unrevealed amount of time behind bars, he tried to escape the island and almost drowned. Nearly dying in the riptide, he made the conscious choice to make peace with the violence inside himself. He decided to use it to avenge the wrong done to him by using the tools of evil to protecting the weak from evil men. As fate would have it, Imura then was rescued by members of the Yakuza Dragon Clan, whose fortress was located underneath the prison.

After learning that the Yakuza Dragon Clan were the only family that still honored the ancient Yakuza ways of protecting the innocent, Ieyasu studied the philopshies that matched with his own newfound vocation and joined the clan. Over the course of twenty years, Imura rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the clan's oyabun. As leader, he oversaw the training of many of the clan's recruits, among them lieutenant Sabrina Morrel, a police officer who had grown frustrated by the limits of the law. Imura and Morrel became romantically involved and they used the clan's resources to right many wrongs.
