*AINI SPOILER** Foreign Mercenaries\* (client)

**Riichi Chieda** (稚枝 利一, *Chieda Riichi*) is a minor character in *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative*.

## Design

Riichi Chieda is tall, with brown hair swept back and a brown mustache. He wears a white blazer with two rows of white buttons, a light red shirt inside, and a light red bow tie on the chest; plus, he wears a pair of white trousers and a pair of white leather shoes.

## Personality

Riichi Chieda is a peaceful but somewhat stubborn gentleman. He loves his daughter Kizuna Chieda quite much, and hates Lien Twining who starts dating Kizuna, thinking that he is an idle guy who drinking in broad daylight, and insist to keep him away from Kizuna.

Early in the story, Riichi is indifferent to the police officers. When questioned, he would answer the questions quickly and simply, then try to end the conversation.

Riichi Chieda cares for the children in Aioen Orphanage under his care and can vividly remember some of their past experiences playing in Aioen. He is to some extent, protective to Aioen Orphanage's children - in order to protect their privacy, Riichi has always refused to install monitoring equipment in the orphanage. His decision inevitably exposed the children to another danger, however. He blamed police incompetence for the incidents not being properly resolved.

Beyond that, Riichi takes a neutral, protective stance on some of his investments. After the former Horadori Institute of Genetics was involved in the scandal of human experiments, Riichi did not hesitate to expose those facts to the society, which led to the closure of the Institute around 2010. However, after a while, the Horadori Institute of Genetics was revived under the influence of Riichi because he felt that there was still some positive value in the research projects being pursued within the institute - such as the PERGE project, which would be helpful to cure heart diseases. He claimed that the restructured institute would receive tighter oversight.

Judging from the information on FILE, he may have masochism hobbies.
