Kazutora's respect comes purely from his own opinion and nothing else. He really doesn't give a shit about established hierarchies or reputations. He shows it openly as well. The fact Kazutora beat Hansen, from ICBM which was well respected/feared until the tiger took him down, without an established fight plus in front of all the other notorious and powerful gang leaders really is a showcase of this. It's a blatant statement of I'll fight you regardless of your status if I want to. Or you piss him off, either or.
This isn't to say Kazutora doesn't know of them. He does, at least a good majority of them. He's heard the stories while free, in juvie, all of that. He keeps a note of it. But really? It doesn't mean anything other than some fancy talk until something happens to actually have him form an opinion one way or another. Your big talk reputation doesn't mean much without him getting to see justification for it. Especially after juvie where people will have the talk but not the bite. But even then, it's respect at best. He doesn't admire any one leader and never has.

might sound weird to say as a person with a couple ocs who have Big Horrible Event(s) in their backstories or as a person who has like 3 ocs total bc he sucks at writing and as a person who hopes their ocs arent too Boring with [the thing im about to mention] but the thing about writing [characters] and [people] is that like.
any little thing a person experiences can take up their whole existence... its actually something "fun" to experience as i meet new ppl and do more things. My friend had something happen that she'll be talking about forever. I had several things happen last year that ill never stop talking about, some of which other ppl think werent that bad actually. In the same way I'll forever remember about the way my sister accidentally insulted me almost 10 years ago, it's really interesting and Fun to find and assign smaller things like that to characters...its really Real. some people's dealbreakers are other people's solvable problems etc etc
