Shun Akiyama is a recurring major character in Yakuza. Akiyama is known as "The Lifeline of Kamurocho" due to providing limitless, interest-free loans to those who pass his tests. He runs Sky Finance alongside his secretary Hana. Akiyama is a man of above-average height with a medium, toned build and slicked-back, black hair. Akiyama is a lackadaisical, yet kind person. Akiyama is shown to be a slacker and does not appear to take his job very seriously, much to Hana's annoyance.
