History Characters / Yakuza3

* DumbMuscle: Depite taking over the Nishikiyama Family [[spoiler:after Shindo's failed usurpation of the Tojo Clan and his death at Daigo's hand]], it's clear he didn't get the job because of his brains and more because he can heft slabs of stone several times his size no problem.

* DubNameChange: In Japan and in the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 Remaster, she goes under the nickname "Mama" (a common nickname for a female bar owner), but is named Mariko in the US UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 release.

** [[spoiler: He appears again in a Hostess Club in Ijincho in ''Infinite Wealth'', on an invite from Date so Kiryu might tie up any loose ends before he dies. Taichi has made Kiryu his role model and thinks of him whenever he runs into danger in his new job as a firefighter]].

* StoutStrength: He's a big on the big side but pretty tough for a kid.

* DefeatEqualsFriendship: After surviving his fall from the Hospital, retiring from terrorism and becoming a bartender in Hawaii, he evidently befriended Kiryu at some point between ''Like a Dragon'' and ''Infinite Wealth''.

* DisneyVillainDeath: He falls off Toto Hospital, ''which is 30 stories high'', or rather, gets ''suplexed'' by Mine off of it. However, '' Infinite Wealth'' heavily implies that similar to Kashiwagi he survived and later ended up being a bartender.

* HeelFaceTurn: In ''Infinite Wealth'', following his near-death experience at the hospital, Richardson becomes a changed man and decides to turn over a new leaf. He is later seen making an honest living as a bartender, no longer the sinister man he used to be and has even befriended Kiryu.

!!! '''Voiced by:''' Charles Glover

* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Somewhat; As the owner of the Revolve Bar in Infinite Wealth, he's on friendly terms with Kiryu, who treats him as an old acquaintance.

* TookALevelInKindness: In ''Infinite Wealth'', [[spoiler:following his near-death experience at the hospital, Richardson becomes a changed man and decides to turn over a new leaf. He is later seen making an honest living as a bartender, no longer the sinister man he used to be]].

* TheHandyman: [[spoiler: Taichi and Ayako in ''Gaiden'' mention that Mitsuro is working a variety of jobs in adulthood]].

* ShesAllGrownUp: In ''Yakuza 6'', all of the orphans are now teenagers.

* ContinuityCameo: Appears in the fourth game during Kiryu's segment as well as a flashback in ''Dead Souls''.

* ContinuityCameo: Appears in the fourth game during Kiryu's segment and a flashback in ''Dead Souls''.

* TheFashionista: The orphan at Morning Glory who's most concerned with fashion trends.

* InterspeciesFriendship: She is considerably best friends with Mame, the maru dog of the orphanage.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Strictly speaking, it's never actually confirmed whether or not he did in fact die after he's shot through the stomach in the 3rd act. He begs Kiryu to stop Mine's plans, [[DiedInYourArmsTonight becomes limp in his arms...]] [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse and then he's literally never brought up again,]] not even in the ending of ''3''. While he does pop up in the postgame Premium Mode alive and well, [[DevelopersForesight it's just a matter of convenience]] to ensure that the substories that require him don't [[PermanentlyMissableContent become impossible to complete]] so his appearance there is usually considered non-canon. It doesn't help that from ''4'' onwards, Kiryu's life in Okinawa never gets any substantial focus any more so even if he was alive, there wouldn't be any reason to show it.]]

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Considering that Richardson managed to survive the fall from the hospital, it's unclear if that means Mine survived. At the least, it would fit the running gag of characters that died in ''3'' showing up under new identities]].
* UndyingLoyalty: To Daigo. [[spoiler:Unfortunately that doesn't keep him from targeting his friends like Kiryu if that's what it takes to keep Daigo's Tojo Clan running.]]

* AintTooProudToBeg: When [[spoiler:Mine and Tamashiro start to demolish the Morning Glory Orphanage]] Nakahra gets down on a PoseOfSupplication to plead with them to stop, citing how [[spoiler: the kids have nothing else.]] Unfortunately, [[HateSink considering who he's trying this on,]] his pleads fall on deaf ears.

* BloodBrothers: Becomes one with Kazuma Kiryu in ''3''. The process is even shown on-screen with Daigo officiating.

* BloodBrothers: With Kanda and later Daigo.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: In ''4'', he becomes this way to Saejima during their prison break, when Saejima tries to hold the line to ensure Hamazaki's escape and especially when Saejima referred to him as his [[BloodBrothers brother]]. He states that nobody has ever trusted him like this before, prompting his HeelFaceTurn.

* BloodBrothers: Technically Mine's though neither him nor Mine really respect this supposed bond. [[spoiler:To be fair to Mine, Kanda did effectively leave him to die in the past as revealed in ''Yakuza Online'' so it's no wonder why Mine doesn't acknowledge their ties at all.]]

* SayMyName: [[spoiler:Repeatedly screams Mine's name as he's about to be killed by his former BloodBrother's men.]]

* SenselessSacrifice: Presumably subverted. [[spoiler:His attempt at killing Richardson with him ultimately failed, since the man ended up surviving to be a bartender in Hawaii, but apparently hasn't been up to much else since.]]

* DisneyVillainDeath: He falls off Toto Hospital, ''which is 30 stories high'', or rather, gets ''suplexed'' by Mine off of it.

* MadeOfIron: A tough bastard with some of the largest health bars in the game. By the time of the finale he's a two phase boss with the first phase boasting 2 and a half health bars, and the next having 3. He later recovers in time to confront Kiryu and Mine after their FinalBoss fight. Even after Daigo shoots him in the chest, sending him to the floor, he gets back up a minute later with a cheerful EvilLaugh despite blood trailing from his chest wound and out of his mouth.
