24-years old Goro Majima was tortured in a prison dubbed "the hole" for one year continuously. Shimano noticed Majima's tenacity, and in 1986, Majima was expelled from the Shimano Family and made to work under Shimano's oath brother Tsukasa Sagawa if he wanted to return. He was held captive in Sotenbori, Osaka, under surveillance from Sagawa, and was promised by Sagawa that he will have Shimano reinstate him if he makes 100 million yen as the manager of Cabaret Grand.
