Sonozaki Family

The Sonozaki Family is one of the Coolsville-based Mafias, holding power in their Yakuza-like operations.

History
Originally based on Hinamizawa, the Sonozaki held many member of the family on high positions on the country, overtaking the region around Hinamizawa by having the family control many establishments in it.

Eventually, the head of the family was moved to Coolsville, starting their campaign for influence in the city, and becoming a feared and respected group there as well, forming many connections with power to make opponents stay back.

Season 0
Quickly rising to strongest mafia in Coolsville soon after it's establishment, it's all owed to the patriarch Steven, who brought a revolution not only to the family, but the world of combat arts as a whole. Every member was trained to some degree in Aikido from a young age, and the family quickly gained respect through fists, though many feared retaliation from Steven himself if they dared attack.

The Sonozaki and Shimano families were once allied long ago, however when Futoshi's desire for power and money grew too great in conflict with Steven's ideals, they had a falling out, and since then have become bitter enemies.

In the past, they fought fearsome enemies such as a keyboard-manufacturing organization, whose violent conflict ended with the explosion at the top of the Millennium Tower that destroyed both keyboards and one of Steven's disciples, Matou Kariya.

Among their ranks, of most notability is Kiryu Kazuma, who climbed their ranks and rose to the status of legend with his accomplishments.

Season 7
After the death of the patriarch, the heir Mion (along with Shion) take over the family, and decide to take a stake in the world of wrestling like many other mafias by taking over the locker room of Bogdanoff Championship Wrestling.
