Kei Arasaka

Kei Arasaka is the eldest son of Saburo Arasaka, and the current CEO of the Arasaka Corporation. Kei was the logical Heir to the Arasaka Empire and out of Saburo's three kids he was his most trusted confidante. Kei was challenged in rigorous schools and from a early age he was groomed to inherit the corporation after his fathers retirement. His experience in business, finance, and investing is only second to his father.

Although it is said Saburo still makes the most critical decisions, Kei, at age 40 is the CEO of the Arasaka corporation, and he has many years of executive experience, despite his age. Kei has always been fully aware of his fathers methods and the true scope of Arasaka's power. He shares the same ideals of his father, in his nationalistic dreams and has evey intention of following through even after his father eventually passes away.

While Kei isn't as driven as his father, but he is calculating, cold, and efficient. While Saburos spirits rise and fall with the fortunes of his brainchild, Kei maintains a detachment he considers imperative to objective decision making. Very rarely does Kei actually show emotion, and when he does it's only with trusted friends and family. He is devoted to his father and younger half-sister Hanako, and wishes the best for both of them. Kei works hard to ensure their happiness and comfort at all times.

Saburo is virtually a prisoner of the Compound, Kei is able to travel and often does go all over the world and near orbit ceaselessly, arranging meetings, consolidating business, and making contacts worldwide. Heavy escorts always travel with him when he leaves Japan. Kei is unmarried as of now, although he realizes he'll need an heir to eventually take over the country.
