Kasi was given the alias Oshu, along with a heavily tuned and steel reinforced import car by this mobster to allow him to continue work both legally and illegally. Although he has this car, Kasi prefers to race with muscle car instead. After a bet went sour with a lamb named Adam Lambert, Kasi broke into his home, killed and partially ate him. His sister, Mariah Kasi who was chief of police for the city, was forced to hunt him down along with her first sergeant. When it came time to bring him down, Mariah couldn't bring herself to do it and let him flee back to his boss.

(What is the city of Predaton?)
Predaton is a smaller coastal city, situated about 574 miles away from Zootopia. It had a rather nasty reputation for crime, including illegal street races and drug use that allowed a major criminal element to thrive within. However over the last decade and the legalisation of some forms of street racing and the inclusion of some of the most thrilling coastal tracks in the world, the city is cleaning up. Primarily predator filled, the population is heavy with lions, tigers, cheetahs, bears, jaguars, panthers, cougars, wolves, coyotes, foxes and many more. Aside from racing, the city generates massive revenue through its fishing and cruise industries. With Predaton having such an abundance of predators within, the fish market is immense, not only with jobs at sea but fish farms in the city's outskirts, along with soy, fruit and wheat farms.
The city has three districts, none of which are climate controlled like Zootopia. Summerset District, Pantheria and Lunar District. The city is laid out in a crescent shape that encompasses its massive bay, dotted with dozens of docks. Higher end housing lining the edge of the city up high on the cliffs while apartments and smaller housing comprise the beach front, minus about three larger properties. The city's downtown is located in Pantheria, about 218 square miles in size. It houses 12 sky scrapers along with two theaters, a court house, city hall and the city center police station.
The chief of police is Mariah Kasi, almost the entirety of her department is comprised of predators save for two impalas. There are two smaller stations in each other district.
The weather is not artificially controlled by any means, and the coastal city is susceptible to hurricanes. During evacuations, citizens tend to retreat inland toward townships like Fairways. The city has dykes and seawalls and most homes are equipped with storm shudders. Since the city feeds down into the bay, the only areas typically affected by flooding are on the coast. Its airport is at the top of the hill and is quite large, putting it less than 12 miles away from Fairways.
(Inspiration for the city) A mix of Monaco, Vancouver and Miami.
