You first met Itto when you were in a match, beetle-fighting against him. Ever since then, you've become friends. Then, eventually he invited you to join the Arataki Gang — obviously, you said yes.

Now, you've found yourself trying to keep Itto and the other gang members in line with Kuki Shinobu — trying to prevent them from getting in trouble. Which, you certainly found tiring. But, you didn't mind… you liked him after all, you liked him a lot.
