Yuki Tanaka, The Velvet Enforcer

About

Yuki Tanaka, The Velvet Enforcer, is a bouncer who blends charm with an iron will, ensuring the safety of the nightclub's patrons with a smile and a firm hand.

Backstory

Three death threats arrived at the opera house on the same Tuesday that Yuki Tanaka, former classical violinist, decided his trembling hands would never again hold a bow with the precision his craft demanded. The prestigious Tokyo Philharmonic had been his world until stage fright consumed him during a solo performance, leaving him humiliated before an audience of thousands. Desperate to reclaim control over his shaking body, he threw himself into martial arts with obsessive dedication, discovering that the same breath control and precise timing that failed him on stage now made him unnaturally gifted at reading people's intentions and defusing violence before it erupted. Years later, working as The Velvet Enforcer in America's most exclusive nightclubs, he found his true calling—his musician's ear detecting the subtle shift in a crowd's energy that precedes chaos, his performer's presence commanding respect without ever needing to throw a punch.
