Satoshi Shioya

Satoshi Shioya (, Shioya Satoshi) is a character in Judgment. He is the captain of the Kyorei Clan.
==Profile==
=== Appearance ===
Shioya has black, slicked back hair and a goatee hairstyle. He has a tall, slim build.
=== Attire ===
Shioya wears a two-piece black pinstripe suit, a black t-shirt, and black leather loafers. He has the Kyorei Clan crest lapel pin in his suit jacket's lapel.
=== Personality ===
Shioya is a crass, flamboyant man, unafraid to speak his mind and do what he wants. He is, nonetheless, not incapable of following orders.
== Background ==
In 2017, the Kyorei Clan started efforts to expand into Tokyo and secure control of the area surrounding the Advanced Drug Development Center, since their organization's primary financial backer, Shigeru Kajihira, was investing into re-developing the area into a tourist resort district, anticipating the ADDC's imminent shutdown by the government. Kajihira wanted the Kyorei to control the area surrounding the ADDC so that other yakuza groups wouldn't extort him for protection once he controlled the businesses in the neighborhood.
In service of Kajihira's goals, Shioya led a force of dozens of his clan's men to establish control over said territory and muscle in on business held by smaller Tojo Clan families; primarily the Matsugane Family.
==Involvement==
===Judgment: 2018===
By 2018, the Kyorei Clan had established a firm foothold in Tokyo by stealing Matsugane businesses in and around Kamurocho thanks in large part to Shioya's efforts. However, this success came at a cost, as frequent brawls occurred between the Kyorei and the Matsugane. On top of that, a mysterious serial killer nicknamed "The Mole" is targeting Kyorei Clan yakuza; kidnapping them off the street and killing them by gouging out their eyes before dumping them in back alleys.
In December, Matsugane Captain Kyohei Hamura is arrested and charged with one of these Kyorei Clan murders, since he was the last person to see the victim alive after a violent altercation in a club. However, Hamura is acquitted at trial thanks to an investigation carried out by the Yagami Detective Agency, who had been hired to find evidence backing up Hamura's alibi for the time of the murder. In response to Hamura's release, Shioya sends an assassin to murder the Matsugane Captain as he left the family office, but the hitman accidentally killed Masakazu Kurimoto instead, since he happened to be dressed similarly to Hamura.
After Hamura's trial, Shioya suspects that Takayuki Yagami and Masaharu Kaito will spy on the KJ Art building for intel, and set a trap for them with Akira Murase as a decoy. Shioya and his men ensnare the detective duo mid-surveillance, and aim to kill them as retaliation for helping acquit Hamura. However, the detectives are saved by the intervention of Fumiya Sugiura, who helps them beat back Shioya and his men before escaping.
After learning of the Yagami Agency's intervention in the case, Shioya is instructed by Kajihira to hire the detectives to help him look into the murder of Toru Hashiki. Wishing to ensure that the detectives could not turn down the case, Shioya sends a few of his men to abduct Mafuyu Fujii, in the hopes of using her as a hostage to pressure the Yagami Agency into working for them. However, Yagami and Kaito catch onto the kidnapping attempt and prevent it from succeeding. This causes Yagami, Kaito and Sugiura to attack the Kyorei base in Cabaret Honmauren in retaliation. Shioya has another battle with them, ending in his defeat.
Once the brawl is over, Kajihira enters and explains the true reason behind the attempted kidnapping. Since Yagami and his friends had by this point connected the Mole murders to the ADDC, they agree to take the case, in spite of Shioya's kidnapping attempt. As the investigation into the ADDC progresses, the Matsugane Family sends an assassin after Yagami, so the detectives seek protection in the Kyorei base in Cabaret Honmauren, opting to sleep there when not on the case.
A few days later, Yagami and Mitsugu Matsugane kidnap Hamura and bring him to Honmauren for interrogation, with Shioya supervising and threatening to torture Hamura should he not answer the questions asked of him. Though Hamura refuses to identify the Mole, he confirms Yagami's theories that the murders were actually to cover for human experiments which the ADDC's lead researcher, Yoji Shono, had been conducting to develop AD-9, a revolutionary Alzheimer's cure. The Mole's victims were actually test subjects kidnapped to serve as a control group for the drug's toxicity and they all died as a result of failed tests. Hashiki had been killed because he had noticed inconsistencies in the test data and had begun investigating.
Shioya leaves the interrogation upon smelling the fire set by Hamura's underlings Kengo and Kojiro Ozaki, who had come to rescue their boss. During the raid, Murase is killed with a bomb and Shioya is brutally beaten by a dozen Matsugane thugs who corner him. Despite being gravely wounded, Shioya manages to escape the fire, but is eventually captured on the street by The Mole, who takes him to serve as Shono's next test subject. Shioya is experimented upon by the researcher and eventually dies as a result of AD-9's toxicity. His body is later dumped by the Mole in front of the Matsugane Family office, so that the police will take it as just another yakuza war casualty.
== Fighting Style ==
Shioya uses Hiroki Awano's version of Masaru Watase's moveset, with an added move: his Deadly Attack is a flying RKO. During his second boss battle, he uses Koji Masuzoe's ability to call his defeated goons back into the fight, when he is at 50% health.
HIs aura is neon purple.
