=== Yakuza 3: 2008-2009 ===
Akasaka is first mentioned by Shiro's teacher Hashimoto, who threatens Kiryu by saying that he is a local councilor with the power to shut Morning Glory Orphanage down. Kiryu decides to seize the initiative and talk to Akasaka himself, so asks his gossip-king Neighbour Miyara where he might be. Miyara explains that Akasaka usually hangs out at the Nanyou Country Club which can be reached from the monorail line in Downtown Ryukyu.
At the country club, Kiryu is denied entry as he does not have membership or an invite. Fortuitously however, Akasaka himself turns up and invites Kiryu for a game of golf. Kiryu and Akasaka immediately hit it off during the game, with Akasaka being very impressed at how Kiryu manages to look after nine children on his own. After Kiryu wins the game (with or without the benefit of Mulligans) Akasaka says that he would very much like to visit. After this scene, the golf minigame becomes unlocked at the country club; it is only open during daylight hours.
Back at Morning Glory, Akasaka is waiting for Kiryu in his usual suit. Kiryu is surprised to see him, but Akasaka explains that he always likes to seize the moment and do things as soon as he thinks of them. Then the kids come home from school, including Shiro, whose glasses are bent and nose bloodied from another run-in with Hashimoto's son Yoshinori. Akasaka thinks Shiro seems like an impeccable young man. Then, Hasimoto and Yoshinori arrive, with Hashimoto accusing Kiryu of bad parenting for the two children getting in another fight. Then Akasaka greets Hashimoto, who is shocked to find the councillor there. Akasaka tells Hashimoto how much of a great Job Kiryu is doing at running the orphanage. Then Yoshinori accuses Shiro of thinking that he is better than everyone else at the school for being an orphan. Akasaka accosts the young man, telling him that Shiro did not choose to lose his parents, and Yoshinori runs off. Akasaka then says to Hashimoto, not knowing that he is Yoshinori's father, that he feels sorry for the young man for having such bad parents. Hashimoto walks off with his tail between his legs, and Akasaka says his goodbyes shortly after.
