Shinkichi Yoneda

Shinkichi Yoneda, also known as Shinmai, is a character in .
==Biography==
Shinkichi grew up in the streets of Old Japantown, in Night City. As a teenager, he practised at the Tyger Dojo in Watson, where he showed promise and was recruited into the Tyger Claws based on his blade skills. This sponsorship allowed him to move into Kabuki, where he would keep training.
Soon enough, Shinkichi gained the nickname of Shinmai, which meant "new rice" in Japanese. Although he was not happy with the name, he was told he would earn a better one if he survived for a year, motivating the young man to accomplish that objective. In the meantime, Shinmai kept training and doing his regular duties as a low-level Tyger Claw enforcer. However, he had been allowed to attend the Tora-no-Ana, an advanced dojo where he could hone his skills further. Shinmai had great admiration for legendary swordsmen, especially for the solo Kenichi Zaburo and the Tyger Claws boss Shinobu the Second.
The Claw members saw Shinkichi as a younger sibling, but were not looking to form a strong attachment bond yet, as they knew that a man of no genius taking up the sword was doomed to a quick death. If Shinmai died, there were always more recruits that graduated from the Tyger Dojo, meaning there was always a "new rice" waiting on the sides.
