Koji Shindo is a minor antagonist of Yakuza and its remake Yakuza Kiwami, and later, a major antagonist of Yakuza 2 and its remake Yakuza Kiwami 2.
He was the loyal captain of the Nishkiyama Family of the Tojo Clan, before becoming his second patriarch, after his boss' death. Enraged by his boss' demise, he plotted to kill his supposed killer, Kazuma Kiryu and to take over as the new chairman of the Tojo Clan.
Biography[]
Shindo is first introduced as a boss fight in the first game of Yakuza, at the Bar Serena, after having received the order to take down Kazuma Kiryu, by his boss, Akira Nishikiyama, stating that it was nothing personal, and he was just following orders.
After his boss suicide, Shindo became the Second patriarch of the Nishikiyama Family and developed a grudge against Kiryu and the Tojo Clan, for supposedly causing the death of his boss, and refused to help Kiryu against the Omi Alliance and the Jingweon Mafia, who aimed to destroy the Tojo Clan. Later, it was revealed to be an accomplice of Toranosuke Sengoku, an Omi patriarch, and helped him to murder several Tojo Patriarchs.
Kiryu confronts him again at the Tojo Clan HQ, after having took hostage the second patriarch of the Kazama Family, Osamu Kashiwagi, the acting chairman and wife of the deceased Sohei Dojima, Yayoi Dojima, and her son Daigo. He reveals his ambitions to take control of the Tojo Clan and his infatuation with Yayoi, expressing his desire to be his husband, even forcing her to kiss him.
Enraged by his betrayal and his inappropiate behavior, Kiryu fights him again. After having chased him down to the garden, Kiryu defeats him by injuring him with a sword given by Yayoi. However, after Kiryu returns at the Tojo HQ, Shindo reappers, only to be defeated again. When Yayoi expels him from the Tojo Clan, he tries to kill Kiryu with a gun, only to be shot in the head by Daigo.
