Toru Nishimura was once a daring investigative reporter who has crossed paths with Lara Croft more than once on dangerous investigations. He's now a wealthy media mogul, good-humored and comfortable, but he still has a taste for adventure and risk, and he is always glad to see Lara whenever her latest adventure brings her to town. He's a little more cautious now, though - he's got responsibilities and obligations, some of them a bit unsavory - and as such, he needs to have good relations with the Japanese mafia.
