Nakagumi Business Plaza

 is a location featured in the pen and paper RPG Cyberpunk 2020.

Overview
This hollow-core building is home to many small businesses of Japantown. The more not so noteworthy ones being small Japanese shops, Japanese video stores both adult and not adult, small Japanese book stores, ramen shops, noodle-takeout lunch spots, sushi restaurants, and the assorted flotsam and jetsam a place like this collects.

Kanchi
The Plaza has only four really notable establishments. The first one being Kanchi, a small but expensive Japanese resturaunt, serving what many edgerunners claim is the best Japanese teppan cuisine in town. Word around town is that the large booth in the back is reserved exclusively for the local oyabun (Yakuza Boss) and his retinue, but that is only rumored and no one knows for sure.

Hasagumi
Next is Hasagumi, which is a total-body beauty parlor, offering everything from haircuts to making arrangements for bio-sculpting. Many wives of Arasaka execs and local Yakuza come here. It's also a fantastic place to hear the gossip from around town, that is of course if you speak fluent Japanese.

XVZ Piano Bar
Then there's the XYZ Piano Bar, which is a well-known Japantown fixture, featuring a dimly lit, smoke-wreathed bar, attractive bargirls (who will sit on your lap if you buy them a watered-down drink), real wood paneling and leather booths. The XYZ also specializes in Karaoke singing: automated music players synched with open microphones provided for its guests. Patrons are not only welcomed, but are urged by prodding from the bar girls and other patrons, to come up to the mike and sing renditions of popular songs (usually in Japanese, but there are plenty English songs) accompanied by taped musical arrangements. A hologram system combined with sophisticated rear projection TV screen allows the singer to even participate in canned music videos.

Now besides being notable for its karaoke bar, the XYZ is also known as a popular Yakuza gathering grounds. On weekend nights, you can find scores of heavily built men with tattoos peeking from under suit cuffs, wearing wraparound shades, nursing their scotches-over-ice, fondling the bargirls, and discussing underworld business of Japan (Usually from Osaka or Kobe) in whispered in Japanese. For a Solo or Fixer of Japanese descent, the XYZ is a great place to pick up leads, look for jobs, or just soak up a little atmosphere.

Cherry Blossom Memories
Lastly the heart of the mall and most beloved by the public the Cherry Blossom Memories. It is a braindance arcade with a new twist to it, all the 'dances here are reenactments from Japanese history. For an exorbitant fee of 50 Eb, any person can be a ninja working for the Tokagowa Shogunate, and Imperial princess, a brave Samurai ronin, Sohei warrior, fearsome group of religious warriors the Ikko-Ikki, part of the feudal Japanese armies were made up of ashigaru, tsukai-ban a messenger corps, even a fighter pilot of the Japanese Imperial Navy from WW2, and son many more. The halls are filled with holographice Cherry Blossoms in their prime with pink lights all over. Security Level: 2
