A Nipponese Zaibatsu, tracing its origins back to the 19th century. What began as a humble enterprise started by a blacksmith and his sons is currently the largest megacorp conglomerate in Japan. Its products range from farming equipment (their original business, not affordable but kept alive to respect tradition) to bleeding edge consumer and military grade cybernetic enhancements (current main revenue source of the company). Their flagship products are known for their durability and unmatched power.
 
With deep ties to the Yakuza clan of the same name, it is often hard to distinguish between its legitimate street-level operations and criminal activities by tiger-adorned gang members. Tora Clan members run illegal chop shops in the CORE, often located in the backrooms of cybernetic gear boutiques owned by the legitimate Tora corporation, making the gang and business inseparable and leading to acceptable collateral destruction of its property.
 
The Tora Yakuza practically worship body modification, installing new cybernetic enhancements as a fashion statement, status symbol and a way to retain supremacy over other gangs. They prefer sheer strength and brutality over finesse. The implants are provided by Tora Heavy Industries for protection services, money laundering and help with dealing with competition.
