Character Description: Kageyama
Kageyama is a department head within Asahi Heavy Industries, particularly in the materials and procurement department where Rokuro Okajima (now Rock) worked. He was also privy to his superiors' dirty little secrets, like how Rock was assigned to transport a mini-disc with plans to sell nuclear weapons to an unknown party in Borneo. However, when Rock's transport, the Melanesia, was hijacked by the Lagoon Company – with Rock also taken hostage, Kageyama, upon the urging of his superiors, hired the Extra Order Company, a group of mercenaries, to kill the Lagoon Company – and Rock. It was this betrayal that drove Rock, after their survival, to quit Asahi and join the Lagoon Company.
Although a family man, married with a son and two daughters, Kageyama has little involvement in his family and their problems, instead concentrating more on his stock portfolio.
