Seven Lawyers



Tsuguo IMAMURA
   He is the head of the seven attorneys.
   He himself went to the Taimen Railway.
   His vigorous style reminds us of a young man.
   His vocation is a lawyer, but he is a poet at heart.
   Togather with his wife/right-hand woman Ms. S
   and skilled, beautiful secretary Ms. N,
   he has formed a iron scrum for this case.

Kenji KOIKE
   He has been Mr.Imamura's friend since his intern days.
   He seems to be the opposite of him,
   but together with Mr. Imamura, he has held up
   the team of attorneys. His attitude is gentle;
   his thinking clear; his voice echoes in the court room
   But he sometimes sleeps on the bench at a station.
   His wonderful wife, Ms. K, is a regular contributor
   to the support group and often comes
   and listens to the court proceedings.
   
Masato HIRAYU
   He stands out as a lawyer because he used to be
   a judge. He is a member of a choir.
   When he was a judge, he was featured on newspaper
   as "Singing Judge". He is very diligent.
   He started to learn Korean when the trial started.
   Now he has no problem with daily conversation
   in Korean. He is advocating many trials.
   He is a man of many talents.

Yohgo KIMURA
   Most of the attorneys for this trial
   are devout Christians.
   Mr. Kimura is one of them.
   He is fluent in English and has read a bulk of English
   documents for this trial.
   At home, he is a father of two fine daughters.
   He cannot stop smiling
   when his daughters cook for him.

Yukari HIDESHIMA
   Ms. Hideshima is the only female member
   attorney for this trial.
   In her slender body rests incredible energy;
   she is much more energetic than ordinary male.
   She is committed to women's issues and Asian issues.
   Now being independent and having established
   an office in Hokkaido, every time there is a trial,
   she flies to Tokyo and then back to her home ground.

Osamu WAKUTA
   This was his first job as a lawyer.When he was
   a student, a half of his time was spent on playing
   rugby; the other half on the student movement.
   After the graduation, he flexed his muscles
   at a town factory. No one can beat him in endurance.
   He drinks like a fish. He works for the mentally
   disabled, socially disadvantaged and foreign laborers.
   He is a fine man.But I cannot stand his habit of
   putting his naked feet on the desk.

Tadao UEMOTO
   He is the youngest among the attorneys.
   He is so literate in computers
   and very valuable among the attorneys.
   He has mastered different computers and software.
   One of his important jobs is to convert documents
   into text files and put them on a disk.
   His cynical appearance is deceptive.
   He is a "sensitive male".
