With a swift rollout of xenophobic laws, all international trade in the nation was severed, all foreign merchants were ordered to leave. Those who stayed were executed. Akkaido was the only exception from the sweeping rule, allowing import of international goods under a struct control of the city's daimyo. As of the, the daimyo was Matasuuri Ieysuna.

At some point in his youth, Jejima Tyo, Ieysuna's cousin, fished out a ningyo king. The man was furious at a fisherman but Tyo's masterful negotiation quelled the sea creature's wrath. The ningyo king was convinced to become Jejima Tyo's partner. This alliance made Tyo the most profitable fishing businessman in Akkaido, always having access to the most numerous schools of tuna in the Sea of Patience.
