Big Wu

Originally from Tokyo, Oshima Wu was born to a Hong Kong expat and a Japanese Exec. He attended prestigious academies growing up and eventually got a Biotechnica certification allowing him to grow his own produce (under license).

Big Wu used to cook for the Michaels family. Eventually, after the twins (Nat & Hex) went to school, he took the savings he had, took a loan out from an AgriCorp (Continental Brands) and became a well-respected sushi chef with his own restaurant in the BosWash area.

Eventually, however, an Arasaka subsidiary bought out the joint and he was forced to become a franchisee. Things took a turn for the worst when the Corpo who was managing his franchise eventually bought out all profitable franchisees and disenfranchised the rest.

Big Wu was left with some cash, which he used to leave the area after being threatened by some East Coast MC with ties to the Tyger Clawz.

Once in Night City, he used the connections he had with Militech to buy out a small property in Japantown and turn it into The Golden Palace.
By the Fourth Corporate War, Big Wu is a sought-out Fixer in his slice of the pie (i.e. Japantown), with Tyger Clawz and Piranhas fighting for gigs from him. He has some bad blood with the Maelstrom, since their presence in Little Asia is taking a hit on "good business".

He first contacts The Crew upon their arrival in Night City to offer them shelter and food. Hex's sister, Nat, is friends with Big Wu. So he is playing at both ends.
