pairing: ryotaro dojima x gn!reader

tags: co-workers, mentions of adachi

it was so clear that dojima had a crush on you, to everyone but him and you!

there was a specific autumn day where it became painfully obvious to everyone in the police department that he liked you

you were out investigating a crime scene and you had forgotten to bring your jacket along

yet instead of dojima scolding you for coming unprepared, he instead yelled at adachi for not reminding you to bring your jacket

and to make sure you weren't freezing, he took off his own jacket and even wrapped you into his scarf, with a soft smile on his lips

despite everyone seeing how kindly he treated you, dojima still refused to admit that he liked you

but this wasn't the first or last time where he'd show his favoritism towards you…

Apologies if I missed it (or if it's shown in the games, I haven't played very far in the series), but any headcanons for Dojima Yayoi?

Of all the female characters in Like a Dragon, I feel like Lady Dojima is the most likely to canonically have a back tattoo. This was a difficult one! I wanted something that reflected Lady Dojima’s elegance, intelligence, and general badassery.

While women are not "officially" allowed to join the yakuza, this doesn't mean there are no women involved in the yakuza. Like Lady Dojima, the wives of bosses act as advisors, helping look after young recruits and even take over families should their husband die or go to jail. They are also just as likely to have irezumi. We are even told that the Dojima family gained most of their power through the respect Lady Dojima garnered. 

I did a lot of reading of traditional Kabuki and Bunraku because I thought a literary figure would suit Lady Dojima. I finally settled on Tamaori-hime from the play "Ichinotani Futaba Gunki" ("A Chronicle of the Battle at Ichinotani.") "Ichinotani" is based of the historical epic “Tales of Genji.” It was a bunraku puppet show first, then later adapted into a kabuki play. Tamaori-hime is engaged to the warrior Atsumori, but is separated from him shortly after their marriage as she was traveling with him to the battlefront of the Heike/Genji war. Over there course of the play, numerous jealous suitors attempt to abduct Tamaori-hime, but she stabs and drives off these attempts using her combat prowess. Finally, a man named Hirayama disarms and mortally wounds her. As she bleeds out, hidden behind some rocks, Atsumori is defeated in battle and beheaded. Tamaori-hime dies grasping at her deceased husband's severed head, too blinded by death to see his face and calling Atsumori's name.

Lady Dojima is fiercely faithful to her husband, despite knowing that her loyalty is not reciprocated. Lady Dojima is also romantically pursued by a man she has no interest in, and resists his advances verbally and physically. There was also a sense of irony of pairing a woman who dies tragically next to her heroic beloved with a woman who bitterly survives a horrible man, carrying forward his name and attempting to cement some sort of legacy to the Dojima name. 

For a flower I went (relatively) basic with ume plum blossom. The name "Yayoi" is the Japanese name for the month of March, and plum blossoms are one of March's flowers in Japanese flower language. They also represent dignity, nobility, fidelity, beauty, and longevity. Suitable for a very traditional, old-fashioned lady of nobility.
