Background / History

Furuya Rei infiltrated the Black Organization under the codename Bourbon, maintaining the civilian identity of Tooru Amuro. As Furuya, he serves in the Public Security Bureau's Security Planning Division and leads the Zero Division; as Bourbon, he has sufficient authority to delegate tasks to lower-ranking Organization members. 76 211

Before settling in Tokyo, Bourbon's missions frequently took him outside Japan, limiting his opportunities to remain in one place and reducing the risk of his past being traced. His trajectory changed when he returned to Tokyo, took work at the Polo Cafe, and became involved with Tang Ze Zhao. 1059

At the cafe, Amuro was assigned as Tang Ze's temporary guardian and accompanied him to Teitan High School for enrollment procedures. Initially, he treated Tang Ze's guarded behavior as a possible sign that the boy knew the Organization was targeting him, while Tang Ze recognized Amuro as Bourbon and feared exposure. 2 7

After Tang Ze's staged death and apparent replacement by Kumeru, Amuro received and watched fabricated footage of Tang Ze being tortured and killed. The experience left him grief-stricken and enraged; when he later found Tang Ze alive, he initially confronted him at gunpoint. 73 75 Their subsequent candid conversation led Furuya to reveal his real identity and Public Security affiliation to Tang Ze. 76

Amuro later established the Amuro Detective Agency, with Akechi Goro as its high-profile detective. The agency provides a legitimate base for investigations while also strengthening Amuro and Tang Ze's public connection. 112 513

His calm public demeanor conceals an exacting, relentless work ethic. He approaches investigations personally, often taking temporary or full-time jobs to enter a target's environment, and treats every cover role as work that must be performed convincingly. 310 468

Despite his reputation as an exceptionally capable undercover agent, Furuya does not see himself as emotionally invulnerable. He openly admits that he has never moved on from the deaths and sacrifices of his past, including Kei's death. 450 892

As Bourbon, he can be cold, intimidating, and deliberately unscrupulous when his cover requires it.
