Extended Information

Selecao No. 9.

He lost his memory during a brain washing program. He meets Saki Morimi in Washington D.C., appearing naked and only carrying a gun and a cellphone. When he helps her out because she threw a coin in the grounds of the White House and is questioned by the police, she gives him her coat, scarf and hat.

He has a very modern cell phone with the phrase "noblesse oblige" printed on it and 8.2 billion yen in digital money credit. When he makes his first call, a female voice claiming to be Juiz answers. She sends him a map that marks an apartment building where he is apparently staying. In his apartment, he finds guns and many different passports which seem to all belong to him. Saki returns after realizing she left her passport in the coat she gave him and the two decide to return to Japan together. According to his passport, he lives in Japan, in Toyosu, his name is Akira Takizawa.

When he arrives in Japan he finds out that he had 10 billion yen originally on the phone, but he spent 2.8 billion on something he doesn't remember. He also finds out that the phone could be used as a credit card, shown as Takizawa buying a pack a gum and using the phone to pay for it. The phone could also be used to make special "requests", as shown when he was helped by the owners of the airport to escape with Saki.

He asks Saki to help get to his home in Toyosu because he can't remember how due to his amnesia. When they arrive at Toyosu, they find out that Takizawa's "house" is actually a shopping mall that Takizawa bought through a request made to Juiz. Deciding to make the best of it Saki asks him to put a movie on for her at the theater. While he helped project the movie the 4th Selecao, a man named Kondo, severely beats Takizawa & takes his phone. During the fight Akira manages to steal Kondo's badge however, using this as leverage he convinces Kondo to meet for an exchange.

While waiting for Takizawa, Kondo is stabbed by his wife who discovers he was cheating on her. By the time he finds Kondo he has suffered major loss of blood and is near death. Takizawa attempts to save Kondo's life by taking him to a hospital but Kondo refuses to cooperate. With his dying words he tells Takizawa there are 12 Selecao in total and that the game they are playing is more dangerous than he realizes.
