While Rock has a family in Tokyo, he has little to no connection with them due to their somewhat cold attitude towards him. In "The Wired Red Wild Card" arc, he is last seen driving a car with Revy. He is forced back towards kindness in the extra missing pages of chapter 76 after an angered Fabiola shoots him with a blank round. He devises a scheme to extract the US soldiers from the city to draw Roberta out, accounting even for Garcia's loyalty, Roberta's psychosis and the personal vendattas amongst the criminals, treating the entire plan like a gambling game. This comes to the fore when Mr Chang personally enlists Rock to locate Roberta before she is killed by US Special Forces, as he demonstrates a duplicitous, ruthless side of his personality clearly influenced by Revy and Roanapur. Rock eventually begins to enjoy his life as a pirate and becomes even more comfortable with corruption. Dutch has stated that he believes Lagoon Company is complete with Rock not holding a gun, saying his bullets are the kind to ricochet back at them.ĭespite his lack of combat experience, Rock has come through every adventure, kidnapping, and firefight with only a few bruises, surviving personal confrontations with most of Roanapur's most dangerous criminals at some point. In many ways, Rock is the heart of the Lagoon Company, serving as a balance for his more callous teammates and as an average counterbalance in the world of darkness that is Roanapur. Chang, Rowan "Jackpot" Pigeon, Yolanda, Eda (who develops a crush on him), and young Garcia Lovelace. Rock's charismatic personality has earned him the interest of several figures in Roanapur, including Balalaika, Mr. He also has a surprisingly high tolerance for alcohol, owing to the heavy-drinking lifestyle of a ladder-climbing salaryman. He is also a natural linguist, being effectively bilingual in Japanese, his native language, and English, as well as being familiar with other languages, including Spanish, Romanian, and Russian. Having once worked in the resource investigation department of Asahi Industries, Rock is also skilled in geology. Within the Lagoon Company, Rock is usually responsible for account management, diplomacy, negotiation, interpretation, and the occasional errand.
Rock, after joining the Lagoon company, has wondered if he is experiencing Stockholm syndrome. He prefers to use words over weapons when interacting with others. He still wears his tie, dress shirt, and dress pants because although now a pirate, he still retains his business persona. Rock is a caring and good-natured everyman despite being on the business end of guns from friend and foe alike, and often seems surprised at the dangers of the Southeast Asian crime world. He joins the Lagoon Company after his department chief Kageyama abandons him (Kageyama declares him dead) in an attempt to cover up the smuggling operation in which Rock had been an unwitting participant.
Rock starts out as a 25-year-old Japanese salaryman for Asahi Industries in Tokyo until he is taken hostage by the crew of the Black Lagoon during their raid on the ship he is on.
