Also, Yakuza 0 was almost a Majima only game, but they didn't think he could pull a Yakuza game by himself, as they weren't sure he'd be popular enough, so they slapped Kiryu in the game.

It's a rainy day outside. You and your family has a trip planned later. You prepare your stuff, and wait for your trip. While you wait, you play some games. And your family called out! You open your door, go to the living room to get your jacket. Once you get on the car, you put on your earphones, play this song. You may now enjoy your trip while listening to this masterpiece.
_Ora, doushita?_ (Pulls in then releases) Akiyama's downed, grab and recovery taunts are some of the chaddest shits I've ever seen in Yakuza. The guy just naturally oozes confidence.
Akiyama is such a great character. I think he could hold down a game on his own. Unlike Kasuga and Kiryu, he 's ambitious and likes to be where the action is. A lot of the trouble he gets into is because he looks for it, whereas the other leads are more reactive. He's like a shark; always moving!
Guess that’s why he’s a loan shark eh? hehehehehehehe- Seriously though, I really do agree. He’s a sucker for playing detective and sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong (anything to get out of work, heh), but it’s out of an honest desire to help in the end. Although, it really does feel like the time for him getting his own game has come and gone, at least right now. Then again RGG’s committed to keeping the action game style alive in some form (Majima pirate game yeehaw) so it’s not entirely a pipe dream at least. I just want more of the funny kick guy damnit! lol
Lets say kiryu, majima, saejima and akiyama, tanimura and shinada were all dragged into the tekken tournament for akiyama i can see him facing. *lili, hwoarang, lucky chole, eddy, Christie, law, nina, anna, katarina and lee, eddy~*
Weird reading that description when we now have ishin localized and the release dates are the same for both japan and west when it comes to these games
This was the first fight theme I heard from Yakuza. What a way to begin my journey. Christ, I need a PS4... Edit: You all know why I'm back here. Edit 2: I can't get enough of these Akiyama pics.
I think also its inspired by Arai But what do i mean by inspired Akiyama eaven says that he is a self taught but you can see that akiyamas style is very simular to Arais *spoiler alert* When you fight Arai at the end of the game hi uses a lot of moves that akiyama uses so i think that Akiyama learned the base moves of Arais style and added a lot of his own to it
![Yakuza 5 ~ The place where I used to be [Extended]](/img/n.gif)
I wish Shun Akiyama got a Yakuza game to himself man. This song makes me think of the start of Y4 when you're exploring Kamurocho in the rain.
I dunno, Majima getting his own game is, while similarly wished, just more likely.
Out of all the side protagonists I feel like akiyama would have a really good game for himself
Also, Yakuza 0 was almost a Majima only game, but they didn't think he could pull a Yakuza game by himself, as they weren't sure he'd be popular enough, so they slapped Kiryu in the game.
@@androsow2838 Agreed.
@@courier6640 Majima is the most popular RGG character
No, the reason Kiryu is there because Sega wanted to show his origins

so can Goromi
@@game_end_selfcarter8365 that’s just straight up heels, Goromi’s skill is incomprehensible

Akiyama is so fucking cool
Yup
Ultra true
I love Affected Fight, but Speed Star reflects Akiyama's character so much better
Akiyama's fighting style is sick. Primarily kick-based.
hyakuretsukyaku!
I love characters who kick a lot
He reminds me of Spike Spiegel.
Funny, because both have the same voice actor in Japan (Although Akiyama never had a english voice).
"Primarily"
a cool guy !
a hot guy !!
a nice-looking guy !!!
In other words, fiction :v
Aren't those last 2 literally the same?
JPgamerTV there’s a big difference between “hot” and “nice looking”
@@slyjin2004 Ohhhhhh. Well, I'm a 12 year old idiot, what do I know?
you're right
ITS FAST,BADASS AND INSPIRING.JUST HOW A BATTLE THEME SHOULD BE!!!
same description goes for Akiyama himself
Listening to this while practicing kicks makes you feel so cool
Fun fact: the Japanese name for the "Swift" attack in Pokemon is Speed Star.
Man, that is just as awesome of a name as thunderbolt in the japanese version of the games (10000 volt)!
I think he makes a better Hitmonlee with all the kicking.
Akiyama is a pokemon confirmed
@@xx_isabel_the_wolf_xx3869 Hisuian Hitmonlee
@@MikeHesk742 actually based on the theming of Yakuza 4 of being the 4 Chinese Great Animals or whatever he would be a Tornadus
Now try to imagine Donald Duck moving as swiftly and sounding as smoothly as Akiyama.
lol WHY! Yazuka tales
What can i say? Koichi Yamadera is the man.
Or if he was swift enough to give the Yakuza the banana slamma with Diddy...
Donald Akiyama
In that vein, imagine Beerus pulling off some TKD like moves
reading all these old comments and the description is amazing. man im so glad this series has gotten so big over the years
AKIYAMA-SAN! *throws him a magazine*
Can't wait to hear this again in the remastered version
I would like Akiyama to return as a playable character in yakuza 8.
Hell yeah. It'd be awesome to have him join the party
@@k3ps00n7 Or maybe just a spin-off with Majima, Akiyama, Saejima and probably Daigo
@@k3ps00n7 nah putting Akiyama in a turn based combat system would be such a waste, since he has one of the best if not the best move set in the whole series.

Kiryu still number 1
So this is what happened to Hwoarang after Tekken 7... Went to Japan and worked with the Dragon of Dojima.
All the more reason Hwoa bring Kiryu back with him for the Season 2 DLC
I thought it was Sanji.
😂
More like Hwoarang got homeless and then Millenium Tower go boom.
Woah money!

_Nanda, owari ka?_ (Squats)
I can hear texts now.

Akiyama is so chill and relaxed, I really hope we get a standalone title with him as the main character.
Look at all that swag, because you know you'll never reach those levels.
It's cute to see in the video's description that the owner thought we won't get the ishin, I hope he is having fun on the game rn
I cosplayed as this guy while playing a boxing game.
He is sooo cool..same as Sanji
Bro!!!!that’s what I thought as well I can’t wait to play and beat yakuza 4
Man said fuck it full sanji mode on yakuza 5
I wonder who would win? they’re very similar in many ways
@@androsow2838 If you either scale Akiyama up to Sanji, or vice-versa, that could be an interesting fight.

@@yama4208 Be cooler to see them in VF, then again they're more gimmicky so it's more suited to Tekken I guess.
My favorite yakuza character

One of the best battle theme in all the games that I've ever played
The Japanese Tae-kwon-do practitioner! With style!😁

*Speedy legz*
i like how the video is 20:10 minutes long
Millionaire strike with Shun Akiyama Poundmates.
This is awesome! One of the synths being used is "Heavenly Chords" from Logic Pro/GarageBand.
I love how he's the only one smiling on game cover.
the best underutilized character in the series
Imagine if nagoshi makes yakuza anime and if they chose kiryu,akiyama,saejima,haruka and more characters from the game that would be amazing
anime opening ost :for faith anime ending ost: baka mitai

i love to just taunt downed enemies when i play as akiyama, it's so fuckin cool

Best boykiyama
Akiyama is pure sex.
Swordswoman Totally agree
As a heterosexual male, I completely agree.
I wish I looked like him, but I'm closer to Saejima in size and build.
He's cute-looking, that's true.
he isnt pure sex he's swagger
"SEEEEXXX!! SEEEEXXX!!" Shun Akiyama screams at the top of his lungs, running down a dark tunnel at 75 miles per hour.
15:30 Akiyama on Time agazine
I personally think this one is better than the one in yakuza 5
I miss you Akumetsu, please, come back.
hate that akiyama gets rocked by kiryu in 6 while still being friends with him.. hurts my feelings
The perfect theme for Akiyama
addressing the description:
we're getting ishin :)
Sounds like a mercenaries theme from RE4 fr
His damage might be weak,Compared to other protagonist. But goddamn,He is fun to use! His kick is to die for!
Best character ❤️
Can't argue there.
BANGER
I’m about to do a legend run on four after listening to this
im getting old Tekken flashbacks from this
the ultimate legday song
Doesn't get cooler than this lol.
man this is sick. that rhodes solo, damn! akiyama's so bad, he deserves a cool ass theme.
Still no Ishin in the west 😔
Akiyama is basicly Sanji
Ngl getting some major Apollo Justice vibes from his theme
This should have been his boss theme in Yakuza 6
This reminds me a ton of Dreamer from Streets of Rage 2
so cool
Now we need 10 hour version.
he needs to make a return in like a dragon 8
Akiyama and Super Chunk best couple
Sounds like it could've come from a Super Monkey Ball games later levels, I dig it.
GGYA~OPPA!
sauce for the thumbnail my guy

Probably Arai

@@Hikaru0kamiki I mean Akiyama said that kicking homeless people was hobby for some people, maybe he learned that from people kicking him?
