Ex-Yakuza Dad and Kick-Ass Mom

Tom Mori's childhood sounds like a nail-biting, action-packed thriller. When he was only a few years old, he and his mom ran away from his dad, who was a former gang member, and lived in small towns around Fukuyama. This was just the start of his journey that spanned two continents and involved learning Scouse.
