Kabushiki Kawaii is an underground, black market sex trafficking company which specializes in the kidnapping, forced modification and distribution of its victims to and for interested parties.
Through a combination of regular and genetic manipulation, brainwashing, drug abuse and other means, an individual is molded and groomed to a customer’s demands and specifications. These victims, internally called models, are carefully selected for their specific genetic and psychological predispositions. Kabushiki Kawaii uses its comparatively smaller and insignificant nature to its advantage, never taking more people than it truly needs. While other Groups of Interest threaten the wider population more often than not, Kabushiki Kawaii’s victims slip through the cracks of attention of the anomalous community. The few that try to opposed them are faced with tides of blackmail and threats to their safety and that of their loved ones.

Kabushiki Kawaii is known for its ability to manufacture anomalous humanoids, which are primarily sold into sex trade. These “models” are the company's biggest export. Through a combination of genetic manipulation, brainwashing, and intimidation they are groomed to act as an individual's ideal sex slave or servant, depending on what is specified by the customer. The exact method that Kabushiki uses to create these products is unknown, but is believed to be a mixture of mundane and anomalous bioengineering. While their skills in genetic manipulation extend beyond the manufacturing of humanoid anomalies, they are by far their most popular and profitable products.
Former KK housing and research facility.
The main storefronts of Kabushiki Kawaii are known to reside somewhere in Japan, but the company has offices, laboratories, and testing centers scattered across the world. Individuals stumbling across the group by mistake are often bribed, intimidated into silence or become products themselves. Kabushiki Kawaii is strictly focused on maintaining a low profile, and will not actively confront the Authority - but will make every attempt to stay hidden when discovered. Authority agents who have attempted to infiltrate Kabushiki laboratories have been rumored to become victims of their experimentation, although this cannot be fully confirmed.
Kabushiki Kawaii is not limited to dealing with only wealthy individuals, but also openly cooperates with other unveiled Groups of Interest. Their knowledge of bodily modification, vast web of connections and staff capable of keeping professional secrets have been called upon many times by those that are not bothered by the other dealings of the group. Internal investigations conducted by agencies have even revealed connections and contacts with Kabushiki Kawaii biomanipulants, although each came to the conclusion that these were the result of blackmail and coercion.
As Kabushiki Kawaii progressed and improved over time, so did its skills of obfuscation. This group’s history is primarily composed from second hand accounts or victim testimonies, both of which had a very limited perspective. Questioning the group’s captured members or defectors proved likewise unproductive as all information is on a need to know basis. Many of the members were even unaware of the anomalous world which further muddles the veracity of these stories.
Origins in the Tong wars
The overlap between human trafficking and the anomalous reaches its peak in the middle 19th century on the American west coast. Criminal organizations consisting of Chinese immigrants have already spent decades trafficking opium, weapons and women into the US. These "Tong" factions were unaware of the anomalous for the majority of their existence, with a few exceptions. Records indicate the exploration of anomalous roads, vehicles and individuals throughout this period.
War between the Tong factions occurred due to a number of varying criminal grievances such as refusing to fulfill a payment, dishonoring a faction member or simply murdering one in revenge of a perceived slight. As the Tong wars continued to rage a select few severed themselves from the rest and fully invested themselves in the research of the anomalous that was discovered over the decades of illegal business. Even united under a common specialty, these families that were the roots of what will become Kabushiki Kawaii still suffered from infighting and power struggles.
Return to the East
The first half of the 20th century proved to be a fruitful period for Kabushiki Kawaii as they exploited marginalized and poor populations from war-stricken countries during the First and Second World War. The group coordinated efforts with trafficking rings posing as philanthropic organizations to abduct widows, orphans and even deserters that came from the war. As time passed, contact between the Americas and Asia strengthened and enough resources were secured to create the first official research laboratory within Japan's borders.
Tensions between the Yakuza, Tong remnants and other criminal factions were alleviated by a political marriage between the heirs of the two major families, a Chinese bride and a Japanese groom. This union over time transformed into something much greater than a political solution, the relationship fortifying itself with mutual respect and numerous children. As it became obvious that these children would inherit the criminal empire, senior members began to conduct meetings on how to secure a future that was much more lenient to them.

Civil war
During a laboratory visit of the nicknamed "spouses of Peace and Friendship" in the 70s, multiple factions strike simultaneously across the coasts of the Americas and Asia. Grandchildren are abducted from their homes, children are slaughtered and the spouses themselves are publicly executed. Their remains are fed to starving test subjects and animals present at the laboratory.
Any loyalist pushback is discouraged by the insurgents holding familial hostages. The vast majority is kept at undisclosed locations, but all those directly related to the spouses are sepparated from one another and trafficked across the world. This period in particular is remembered for a much more aggressive approach to the group's dealings and a delve into personal bioweapons and narcotics.
Return of a rightful heir
In the 90s, rumors began to circulate that a surviving child of Peace and Friendship was alive in active in Delhi, India. During this period, multiple repurposed laboratories across the Asian and American continents suffered from poor and decentralized leadership that prioritized short term personal gain over long term profit. Dissatisfied factions pooled their resources in an attempt to locate the heir of the spouses and prepare for another violent uprising.
Their search was successful and a young woman was found that lead a decentralized trafficking operation in Delhi that heavily relied on local anomalous tools. After her identity was confirmed through an in-depth genetic exam, she quickly accepted the assistance of the new insurgents. The alliance slowly set up an organized ambush reminiscent of the one that occurred two decades before. Her operation was introduced to the current leadership while her true identity was kept a closely guarded secret. Baited by the prospect of spreading its influence further south as well as abusing an entirely new collection of anomalies, they invited the heir to a meeting in the first laboratory in Japan.
As the conference began, so did the assault. The meeting transforms into a bloodbath as insurgents quickly attack from unexpected fronts and abduct family members and significant others. Per the heiress’ request, the firstborn child of each member present at the meeting arrives to negotiate at the first laboratory. Negotiations last for seven weeks and seven nights without interruptions or any member leaving the laboratory. It is not until the heiress’ allies enter the laboratory that they discover that the firstborn were chosen to be made an example of for the actual inheritors.
I saw her, naked and lithe, dancing around the column of flesh that was once man and woman, and now was both. She laughed and laughed as her hair trailed behind her, decorated in golden scraps of jewelry that once pierced the flesh of the ones that entered that room. The pillar moaned, sang and bred itself to the rhythm of a song known only to evil. The others ran lest they be next to join the pulsating, squealing tower of conjoined beings, but I could not gather the courage. I saw her, and in her I saw Kali.

From this point onward, Kabushiki Kawaii enters a modern era that presumably lasts until this day. The current head of the group is unknown - whether it is still the heiress herself, a puppet under her control, an appointed heir or a council of representatives cannot be confirmed. As time passes, the heiress’ heritage assures that no member will ever consider betraying the company by revealing its inner workings.

There is no precise way to know whether or not Kabushiki Kawaii shares its hierarchy across all of its laboratories. Many of them do not know the full extent of the operation they are part of, acting as blissfully unaware transporters, researchers or custodians. Much of this is under speculation and investigation.

In the popular mind of the Authority, K.K. is about biomanipulation, human lab rats, comfort girls in rusty cages, the whole deal. Karasu and the boys at GD-ASIA love that, it's the perfect PR campaign for the star of the show. Fair enough, trafficking's their specialization, but what they're too busy to tell you is that drug production is what keeps the lights running in half of these labs. They aren't picking poppies either: Last op back in Golden Triangle the eggheads at Site-080 found Lethium in the meth—and it wasn't from Greece either—we traced it back to Chongqing. Of course, stopping people from ruining their lives with Anderite-laced cocktails or keeping warzones clean of Heroin-MENO combat stims just doesn't tug at the heartstrings quite like bridal carrying a cat-eared hooker to safety, so the job falls to thankless spooks like us.
