Hiromi Higuruma was a lawyer before he received his jujutsu abilities. He was someone who was a firm believer of justice. He took on an extremely difficult case to prove the innocence of a man who was accused of homicide. At first, he managed to succeed and saved his client from a life sentence.

However, a second trial took place after the prosecution asked for an appeal. This found Higuruma’s client guilty.
