Shigeru Akagi

Akagi (赤木) is the main character of the anime of the same name. He is introduced as a deceptively adult looking young boy, whose spark of genius transcends age and resides in gambling, especially in the game of mahjong. Throughout the story, Akagi utilizes techniques other gamblers don't dare to, in order to sway his opponents: brazen cheating, extremely risky maneuvers, far fetched bluffs, a blatant disregard for his own life.
==Appearance==
Akagi has white hair and is usually recognizable by his sharp features, particularly that of his nose. The angle of his nose is approximately 32º. He is usually seen wearing a dress shirt and pants, as was typical of that period.
==Overview==
Akagi is an enigmatic young man who interrupts the yakuza during a game of mahjong one rainy night and quickly gains a reputation in the underground world for his borderline supernatural skill and luck. 
==Abilities==
Akagi's main strength is his ability to observe his opponents and gain deep insight into their psychology. From there he's able to predict and control their actions. In addition, he figured out Mahjong strategy from just a few hands of play and knowledge of the basic rules, without a firm grasp on the scoring - he still could tell a good discard from bad by watching everyone else's trash.
