“ | Be thankful for the merciful deaths you and your rabble are receiving, it is nothing compaired to what I will do to The Saints when I'm through here! | „ |
~ Akuji as he prepares to fight Mr. Wong. |
Kazuo Akuji is one of the secondary antagonists of Saints Row 2, serving as the main antagonist of The Ronin story arc. He is the founder and international leader of The Ronin crime syndicate and the father of Shogo Akuji who lead the American branch of the The Ronin.
He is voiced by Steve Blum, who also voiced Cliff Hudson and Roger Hall in Dead Rising.
Biography[]
Akuji longly despised his son Shogo, whom he saw as a liability, and constantly sees him as unintelligent and incompetent. Shogo, in contrast, was always trying to win his father's approval, but never succeeded due to his constant failures. To make up for having to put up with Shogo, Kazuo often put his trust, respect, and favoritism in his more intelligent and loyal lieutenant Jyunichi.
Akuji was apparently world-renowned for his skills as not only a successful businessman but also as a ruthless and effective leader. He was also an childhood enemy of Wong Sheng Tai, and the two of them considered each other mortal foes. Akuji was a merciless man, whose fiery temper was only dwarfed by his expertise as a master swordsman. However, Akuji was simply an older version of Shogo as both of them were arrogant, easily angered, and made the mistake of underestimating the Protagonist.
After Shogo's death, Akuji tried to attack the Saints' hideout, only to have his forces repelled and end up fleeing. He and the remaining Ronin then went after Mr. Wong at the Chinese Heritage Festival of Stilwater, only for the Protagonist and the Saints to come after them instead. Akuji then defeats the Saints boss in a katana battle on a burning junk boat, only to be shot in the chest and pinned to the floor with his own sword.
The Protagonist then gives Wong the pleasure of hearing his enemy's screams of agony before leaving Akuji to die on the burning junk boat. Effectively marking the end of The Ronin’s operations in Stilwater, and the United States at large.
