Hinge quick release broke.

Hey guys, so the hinge on my citizen bike Tokyo broke off and I can't seem to find a replacement piece online. any links or recommendations to fix the problem? It was a free gift from a friend and this is the only thing currently wrong with the bike I'd hate to throw it away, any help is welcomed.

Update- I've contacted citizen on 3 different occasions and now on the third time i had a nice fellow help me out and send me a link to buy a component on their website for 8$. I'll update again when the part arrives and see if it works or not.
