History Characters / Cyberpunk

* DistaffCounterpart: Is one for Johnny Silverhand in Japan, being a rebellious rocker boy Edgerunner that wants to take down Arasaka.

* StupidJetpackHitler: Want an Imperialist Japanese character who is the head of a technological company? Here he is.

* ArrangedMarriage: Hanako is terrified of this happening as her loyalty to her father is great but she wants to live an independent life after his death.

* ResurrectiveImmortality: It was Hanako who figured out how to transfer engrams into clone bodies in ''V3'' as only she understood the true potential of Alt Cunningham's work with Soulkiller.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Was disliked by his own family, including his sister Hanako that he loved.

* {{Expy}}: Is one for Johnny Silverhand in Japan, being a rebellious rocker boy Edgerunner that wants to take down Arasaka.

* TheQueenpin: Is the "Queen of the Afterlife" and "Queen of the Fixers" in Night City, having a position above all of them.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In ''Rache Bartmoss' Guide to the Net'', Rache drops any trace of insanity or even his somewhat jovial tone when the matter of the [=ESA=]'s mass driver being hacked by someone other than him is brought up. Understandable, given that it could be (and has been) used to institute a ColonyDrop.

* ThatManIsDead: Maintains the original Alt Cunningham is dead and she is just a engram copy.

* RevengeBeforeReason: Joins the Militech raid on Arasaka Tower in hopes of getting revenge for Rache Bartmoss' death.

* AllForNothing: In his eyes; he spent his entire life rebuilding the Japanese Empire as he had once envisioned. Asserting UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}'s dominance as a global super power, with nearly half of Asia and third of America under his clan's control. Grooming his son, like an heir to a king's throne, to be a ruthless CEO of the Arasaka Corporation. Only for all it to come crashing down because of his blind hatred of America and underestimating Militech's superior numbers and militaristic backing from the New United States government.

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Declaring war against Militech is one thing, launching Soulkiller to gather Militech secrets is another. But launching full-scale conflicts in highly populated areas and attacking multiple military bases for several different governments around the world, because they're assisted by Militech personnel and armaments, is a whole other form of insanity.

* WeaksauceWeakness: His low intelligence stat ([[MasterOfAll the only stat he has that's abysmal]]) and his status as a FullConversionCyborg leaves the only weakness on table if [[SuicidalOverconfidence one is to choose to face Adam Smasher]] is to hack him—which only makes a potential fight ''do-able'' rather than impossible, [[SNKBoss but by no means easier]].

* KavorkaMan: At some point in his life, he was dating Saburo Arasaka's granddaughter Michiko Arasaka. Pondsmith has stated that during said time he used an alternate body that looked more like a blonde Elvis Presley and at least avoided actively offending her.

* HeroKiller: He's one of the deadliest characters in the setting for a reason. During ''Firestorm: Shockwave'' Smasher killed Johnny Silverhand (though Johnny's exact fate was kept deliberately vague at the time), gravely wounded Shaitan, and was last seen engaging in a fierce fight with Morgan Blackhand, regarded to be the best Solo alive. He also makes very short work of the Characters in ''Anime/CyberpunkEdgerunners''.

* PunnyName: Adam Smasher is a play on "atom smasher", an older term for what we today would call a particle accelerator.

[[folder: Shaitan]]

* BrokeYourHandPunchingCthulhu: Was critically injured but survived his battle with Adam Smasher during the assault on Arasaka Tower.
