Arasaka Family Compound

The Arasaka Family Compound (荒坂地所) is a twenty acre wide piece of land for much of the housing for the Arasaka family has been for over a hundred years.

Early History
The Compound has been in the Arasaka family for many years and is situated on twenty acres of land, just outside of Tokyo. This impregnable fortress was built in the style of feudal Japan and acts as a headquarters for Saburo Arasaka and his family. The twenty acres is divided up by the main house, a gymnasium, Shinto shrine, a cherry grove garden and an Osprey landing pad. The facility is commanded by Shintaro Takayama, a close friend and loyal ally of Arasaka, and employs thirty live-in staff, all trained as both servants of the house and security guards. Only the most loyal, highly trusted and distinguished staff are placed here at the compound.

If in the case of any emergency, an Osprey is ready and waiting at all times to extract the family at a moments notice as well an escape tunnel and panic room able to supply up to ten people for a week. That of course is all unnecessary, as a detachment of Solo's are only a moment notice away at the Tokyo Headquarters.

The compound took only 3 years to build and was original commissioned by Sasai Arasaka to be built on the land his father had originally bought. Sasai always wanted it to be built in a classical style which would represent when he believed Japan was at its strongest. He also wanted it to be the perfect safe haven if anything was ever to happen. With this idea in mind, he came up with many different ways they could defend themselves or escape in a moments notice. Upon it's completion Sasai moved in and was ready to raise his family in the compound. Sometime during 1900 to 1905 Sasai met his wife, Yui, who eventually moved into the compound.

In 1919 Saburo was born into the family and grew up the compound being raised along his parents. After the death of his parents, Saburo inherited the family compound. Saburo married three times, and had three children; Kei, Yorinobu, and Hanako. On a daily basis the compound has guards protecting the Arasaka family. There were ceremonies held inside the compound annually.

2000s
In 2016, after celebrating Yorinobu's graduation, Saburo told his son about the truth behind the Arasaka Corporations success. Before attending a special ceremonial mean, Yorinobu fled the compound abandoning everything.

Hanako was kept under strict security inside the compound, as Saburo arranged for his daughter to never leave due to the dangers of outside. A trusted tutor was hired to teach Hanako everything required of her and she was put under the protection of a personal bodyguard, Katsuo Iwashima, who secretly had feelings for her. Besides a few brief trips with guards, Hanako would never leave the compound. Her and Yorinobu still communicated after he left.

In 2020, the security director of the compound, Shintaro Takayama, informed Saburo that the Eel, an Arasaka Cargo Submarine, and its crew including Captain Hyung Mitsumoto sunk in the North Pacific. Saburo and Shintaro took the necessary steps in retrieving the assets of the sunken submarine.
