As anyone around here has an idea why this card was designed
Unique.
Ok Ro-jin has Firearms, Melee, Street Wise and the guard and
stamina traits.
But he's not better than Scorpio.
Am I missing something ?

i have a feeling it is becuase he has the stamina and guard trait plus
if i remember he it not to much to put out. that is just my guess.
and i know that does not scream Unique but hey there are not to many
body guards, maybe they want to keep it that way.

I believe it's his affiliation with yakuza(?). most gang affiliated runners
don't have much in the way of skills...

Speaking of the Yaks..... has anyone else noticed that for an Underworld set,
the yaks really got skunked? The Mafia got five runners, Lone Star got five
runners, and the Yaks only got four, one of which is a Unique? When I first
heard about the set I was looking forward to playing a Yakuza deck but that
seems rather hard now. I mean c'mon, two of the characters have no skills
just special abilities. About the only way I can think of to play a real
Yakuza deck is by filling it full of Eternal Vows. Just my two cents worth.

However, this is somewhat offset by the fact that you can have any number of
Tenaka in your deck as you wish.

Tenaka
Yakuza Agent
Human
Cost: 4
Skills: Melee-1
Threat: 3/3
Special: There is no limit to the number of Tenaka cards you may have in your
deck.

Ya but come on... As far as a runner goes, he has no real skills to
benifit a sleeze deck, he has no real muscle to help with killing
challenges, or body for taking damage. Sure there are ways to pump him
up with gear, but I wouldn't want to fill up my deck with 8 Tanakas.
However now that I'm through trashing him, lets look at his good side.
He is cheap, can live through a riots, and he is a prime canadate to
hold poisons, and shurikins. For that reason alone he is actually an
essental part to my direct "kill off their runners, while I get rep"
damage deck.

Tanaka aside... what I would like to know is where are the Yak Mages...
These are some of the more nasty mojo throwers around.

Banzai's just a tool to be used and thrown away, of course.

The Yaks, at least, are more open to metahumans than the Japanese
Imperial Marines would be. *Shudder* That would be evil.
