Editing Kanezaka (section)

==Background==

Located in [[Japan]], Kanezaka is a quiet area that straddles tradition and modernity; weathered wooden buildings and a Shinto shrine guarded by solemn stone foxes border the bustle of a high-rise cityscape that trickles into the town proper.<ref name = "NextStop">2021-01-19, [https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/news/23609156/next-stop-kanezaka/ NEXT STOP: KANEZAKA]. ''Blizzard Entertainment'', accessed on 2021-01-27</ref> Much of its economy is kept afloat by tourism&mdash;people will come in by train, partake in the town's good and services, and then leave come nightfall. However, it is suffering under the control of the [[Hashimoto clan]], which has effectively controlled the town for twelve years, taking money from the people. In recent times, the populace approached breaking point, which led to more vicious abuses from the Hashimoto as punishment for missed payments. Over the last few months, shipments of Hashimoto contraband went missing. Their men were badly beaten or robbed when returning from their rounds, and messages painted in bright, conspicuous colors started to appear, before they were quickly painted over. These anti-Hashimoto vigilantes however, were just as quick to disappear as they were to attack the clan, and the people of Kanezaka suffered reprisals in their place.<ref name = "Correspondence">2021-01-11, [https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/news/23608156/ CORRESPONDENCE POST FOR TOSHIRO YAMAGAMI].
