Akira Mizorogi

Akira Mizorogi (, Mizorogi Akira) is a character featured in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Once an underground fighter and combat instructor, he now works as a blacksmith in Sotenbori.
== Background ==
Mizorogi was once a competitor in various underground coliseums. By 1999, Mizorogi had mastered various combat techniques, pushing himself "past the limits of human strength."
In a Las Vegas underground fighting ring, Mizorogi was pitted against Kiyoshi Ugajin, a fighter making his debut. Despite the latter's complete lack of technique, Mizorogi couldn't handled his punches, and lost to the newcomer. Deeply ashamed of himself, Mizorogi quit fighting and began teaching fighting techniques instead. He taught to anyone and any groups willing to learn from him, one group being the Daidoji Faction. Eventually, he opened up a workshop in Sotenbori where he creates various gadgets and weapons.
== Fighting Style ==
Mizorogi uses a watered-down version of Keiji Shibusawa's moveset from his Brawler style, commonly reused by other miniboss enemies. Said fighting style makes use of heavy-hitting punches, kicks and headbutts, which can easily knock Kiryu down. His attacks are listed as follows:
* Shibusawa's uppercut-overhand-rising kick combo, superman punch and rising kick;
* Shibusawa's headbutt damage reversal as a basic attack, which can stun Kiryu;
* Shibusawa's back-quickstep attack as a basic attack,
* Naoto Tagashira's command grab, and
* Shibusawa's taunt followed by his haymaker loop and superman punch as an Ultimate Attack.
