Kabukicho Depot is the main Hogosha base of operations in the New Tokyo system, and a center of operations for Hogosha conducting business throughout Kusari.
The Hogosha handle Artifact and gun smuggling and the fencing of stolen goods. They also do occasional dirty work for Samura. Kabukicho's location in the asteroid fields of New Tokyo makes it a central base of operations for ongoing turf wars with the Blood Dragons, as well as commerce activities throughout the system.
Due to its central location, many Hogosha meet regularly in Kabukicho's popular bar to discuss current affairs, enemy activity, and future plans.
