— Akahara

Akahara is a Gotham City crimelord who died during the War Games event.

History

He was the leader of Gotham's Yakuza faction at the time. Spoiler set up a false summit of gang leaders that turned into a shoot-out when Able Crown reached for a cigarette lighter. Akahara pulled out a handgun while his bodyguard carried a katana. They were both shot dead in the chaos, although their assailant is unknown. His replacement, Niko, protected the Yakuza when Orpheus tried to take them over.

Notes

• Akahara and his bodyguard are killed off-panel, leaving it unknown who wasted them. It is safe to say that it could've been anybody, because seriously, who brings a sword to a super-villain gunfight?
