Howard Connection

Howard Connection (ハワード・コネクション) is the self-founded enterprise of Geese Howard. On the surface, it is a powerful protection agency that strives to help the people. Its well-meaning portrayal in the media is mainly a front to deter investigators from the kingpin's connections with the mafia. Thanks to his years of work, it controls all of Southtown and some parts of the globe. One of the active branches of the company is located near Geese Tower.

After Geese's death, the business is run for a time by his brother-in-law, Kain R. Heinlein.

Geese's crime syndicate's businesses often overlap with Howard Connection, and most of his underlings pose as employed by the company as personal security.
