Yamagata (γγΎγγ Yamagata) (first name unknown) is a fictional character in the hit anime movie and manga, Akira.
[edit] Basic information
Yamagata is one of the strongest members of Kaneda's gang. He often criticizes Tetsuo and this leads to some hard feelings which eventually determine his fate.
[edit] Role in the story
Yamagata's character personifies and represents the rest of Kaneda's gang; he is virtually Kaneda's second hand man. Yamagata's death, caused by Tetsuo in both the manga and the movie (however at different times), was a hard hit for Kaneda. In the manga, Yamagata died in a warehouse, where Tetsuo killed several members of rival bike gangs (since in the manga, he has become head of the Clown gang). In the anime, it was in the featured bar, where Tetsuo hits him with a fridge then brutally murders him. Kai, who was there, escaped. Yamagata's bike was ritually burnt by Kaneda after his death in respect. At the end of the manga, images of Yamagata and Tetsuo are seen by Kaneda as he rides back into Neo-Tokyo.
