History Characters / Yakuza1

* AmbiguouslyBi: He's the top Host at Stardust, mainly catering to female customers. When summoned as a Poundmate in ''Infinite Wealth'' however, he openly flirts and makes intimate gestures with men alongside Yuya to lower their guard. All the enemies fought in the game are male, by the way.

* DemotedToExtra: He plays a significant supporting role in the first three games especially in ''2''. In ''4'', he stops appearing in the main story and only shows up in a couple substories. From ''5'' onwards, he stops making appearances entirely with only a few mentions from his friend Yuya.

* WhatTheHellHero: When her dad tells Kiryu to butt out of their business when meeting Minoru, Saya calls out him out on his behavior toward Kiryu considering everything he's done to help them.

* VillainousLegacy: Up until ''4'', many events in later games could be traced back to him. For instance, Akiyama recovered from homelessness by doing some day-trading using money from [[spoiler: the 10 billion yen Jingu laundered through the Tojo Clan after Nishiki sacrifices himself to destroy it]].

** This interest in dancing and youth culture receives a callforward in the prequel "0", where he is the one to introduce Majima to Sotenbori's underground breakdancing scene.

* HateSink: Between the first game and ''0'', he's rather lacking in any likeable traits as he's power-hungry, murderous, scheming, arrogant, callous, ruthless, unfaithful to his own wife to the point of being a known SerialRapist in the first game and [[NonActionBigBad can't even back up his immense power in the Tojo with any sort of physical strength or ability.]] The nicest thing he's ever done is post-humously assist his son during his summon in ''Like A Dragon'', something that likely only occurs in Ichiban's imagination.

* NoGoodDeedsGoUnpunished: In ''Infinite Wealth'', he tries to bring Kiryu back into contact with all the people he's known in the past to show him how much of an impact he's made in other's lives. [[spoiler:Eventually, when he attempts to connect Kiryu with Haruka this turns out to be enough to get the attention of the Daidoji and gets him viciously beaten]].

* BlackMarket: He claims to have contacts in the black market and that if Nishiki can get him enough money, he should be able to find a heart transplant for his sister. [[spoiler:He's full of shit. Ironically his ultimate fate is to be taken apart as organs for the black market.]]

A wealthy businessman and politician, Jingu is very tied up in the yakuza and seeks to use their wealth to gain greater political power for himself. [[spoiler:He's also the former lover of Yumi Sawamura and Haruka's biological father. The ten billion yen stolen from the Tojo Clan is actually his money]].

* FlunkyBoss: By himself he is quite wimpy but he has a couple of elite MIB members to back him up. Running away from Kiryu whilst trying to get a good vantage point to shoot him doubles as a GetBackHereBoss.

* BigBadEnsemble: Shares the position of BigBad of the first game alongside Nishikiyama and [[spoiler:Kyohei Jingu.]] Unfortunately for him, [[spoiler:he's the first of them to get offed]] in pursuit of the 10 billion yen.

* SurroundedByIdiots: He has a small moment on the rooftop. [[spoiler:His underlings ''shooting at the police'' sabotaged his attempts to claim that Date and Sudo don't have the evidence to arrest him, since at that point they don't need any.]]

* SecretTestOfCharacter: He is the subject of one arranged by [[spoiler: Kyoka's father and his own. Members of the Atobe family track him down, supposedly to kill him and drag Kyoka back to her father. Kiryu fights them off at the Florist's instruction and Takashi, rather than running, stands up to the chef Atobe enforcer respectfully and states that he will do anything for Kyoka. This is enough for her father to judge him worthy of her and the enforcer delivers a message from him in which he apologises for his failure as a father and gives his blessing.]]
