Revision as of 23:13, 28 August 2019
Template:Character
Rikiya Shimabukuro (島袋 力也, Shimabukuro Rikiya) is a supporting character in Yakuza 3. He is the captain of the Ryudo Family, a yakuza family situated in Ryukyu, Okinawa.
Personality
Rikiya is idealistic and naïve, oftentimes rushing headlong into danger and ends up hurt, relying on Kiryu to save him. This is also likely due to his laid-back lifestyle in Ryukyu, where it appears he and Mikio Aragaki rarely came into contact with real danger. Despite this, he still manages to be a formidable fighter, and an invaluable ally during his time with Kiryu.
He is extremely proud of his Okinawan heritage, and seems to treat those who hail from Japan's mainland with disdain. Although initially hostile towards Kiryu, he gradually comes to respect him, referring to him as his aniki. He looks up to Kiryu and holds him in high regard, though he has no qualms with opposing him if the two disagree.
His pride in the things that he believes in makes him extremely loyal to those he follows, and he is shown to be well-liked and respected by the community.
Appearance
Rikiya's tattoo after the eye is filled in by Utabori.
Rikiya wears a white and orange floral shirt along with a pair of black dress pants. When traveling to Kamurocho, he wears a dark pinstriped jacket. He also wears a silver watch and snakeskin belt in both variations of his usual outfit.
While dressed as his wrestling persona, "Ricky", he wears blue and yellow spandex with bird wings on the eyes of the mask. He has リッキー (Rikkī, lit. Ricky) across his behind, and 力 (chikara, lit. power) on his forehead.
His hair is short, black, and styled into a punch perm.
His tattoo depicts a viper - most likely the Okinawan habu, a pit viper native to the Ryukyu Islands - the eye of which remains unfinished until Kiryu brings him to have it completed by Utabori.
Yakuza 3
Rikiya first appears as he and Mikio drop off an eviction notice at Morning Glory Orphanage. Kazuma Kiryu runs into the two in town, and Rikiya proclaims his distaste for mainlanders, instigating a fight with Kiryu. After Rikiya inevitable loss, he brings Kiryu to the Ryudo Family office, where Kiryu meets with his boss, Nakahara.
Despite Kiryu's insistence on Rikiya staying behind in Okinawa, he ends up going to Kamurocho shortly after Kiryu himself departs.
Rikiya is kidnapped by Lau Ka Long's men in order to get to Kiryu, and is almost killed, but is saved last minute by Joji Kazama. Kiryu sends him back to Okinawa shortly after, which Rikiya does not object to. He remains very quiet, and appears to suffer from some form of PTSD after the ordeal.
He and Mikio resist Yoshitaka Mine and his men when the orphanage is attacked, but ultimately fails to fight them off, leading to its destruction. He argues with Kiryu, who berates Rikiya for being so reckless and immature, refusing to let him throw his life away for nothing.
After Kiryu rescues Nakahara from Mine's men, Rikiya meets his demise taking a bullet meant for Kiryu, his last moments spent telling Kiryu to get revenge on Mine for all he's done.
Fighting Style
His fighting moves mainly consist of evasion, precise punches, and jump kicks.
