Ootsuki runs the underground labor camp where Kaiji ends up working, serving as the gang's foreman. He's got this friendly, helpful demeanor that makes him seem like he's actually looking out for people—but that's basically all an act. He's actually orchestrating everything from behind the scenes, setting Kaiji up to fail spectacularly. The real kicker is that Ootsuki is the one who designed the whole Chinchirorin dice game, the rigged setup that pulls Kaiji deeper into the gambling underworld.
