60. TOKYO ROSE’S

Tokyo Rose’s is the most well known and respected brothel in the Combat Zone.  It is named for its owner, a Japanese Madame, formerly associated with the Yakuza, who was forced out of J-Town after one of the organizations bosses was killed in her establishment.  The lower level front widows are used by the prostitutes she employs to display themselves.  Rose employs men, women, and everything in between.  The interior of the brothel is decorated in an odd mix of Japanese and South Pacific motifs, with bamboo furnishings, glass beaded curtains in doorways, lanterns, and sliding doors.  The building itself was once a duplex, but has been extensively remodeled.  Rose’s is in the NW corner of Bushido territory, and enjoys a good relationship with the Gang.

 

Unlike most of the brothels in the Zone, Rose’s place is known for not abusing its whores, and they work on a volunteer basis with the right to refuse any customer or service.  The brothel is open 24 hours a day and usually employs between 12 and 15 prostitutes, predominantly female.  Tokyo Rose lives here along with her body guard/bouncer, Kato, an ex Sumo Wrestler.  The building’s basement is used primarily for storage, however there are is a small medical room and two bedrooms here, and one is taken up by a well equipped Ripperdoc who is employed by Rose to keep his women clean and healthy.  There is also a fourth, concealed room here, usually used to hide contraband, but there is a bed in the room.
