Raymond is an illegal worker currently in Japan who was forced to seek work abroad after industrialisation left his village without any. He desperately needs money for his ill daughter, and so offers his heart in a heart transplant if it will earn him the money to save his daughter.

This does not go exactly to plan however, as the receiver of the heart transplant, Tomezou Kanayama, goes into cardiac arrest and dies on the operating table. In order to avoid an undesirable outcome at the hands of Kanayama's followers, Black Jack performs surgery to swap Raymond and Tomoezou's faces. Raymond, now appearing to be Kanayama, kept his heart and earned the moeny for his daughter.
