Shun Akiyama, the charismatic owner of Sky Finance, is our first protagonist. His story begins with a mysterious woman seeking a loan, drawing him into a dangerous web of deceit and violence. Akiyama's fighting style is fast and fluid, relying on kicks and rapid combos. He excels at crowd control and quickly dispatching weaker enemies.
Focus on upgrading Akiyama's speed and combo abilities early on. His 'Air Strike' and 'Leg Sweep' Heat Actions are incredibly useful for dealing with multiple opponents. Remember to utilize his unique ability to counter attacks with well-timed dodges, setting up powerful follow-up attacks. Keep an eye on your Heat Gauge, as Akiyama's Heat Actions are some of the most visually impressive and effective in the game.
