I added an avatar to this blog… (check out the picture on the right sidebar)… If you are familiar with Japanese Manga, you may recognize this character… He’s the protagonist in the manga Liar Game: Shinichi Akiyama…
About Shinichi Akiyama (taken from Wikipedia)
Formerly a graduate student majoring in psychology, he is a “genius swindler” who took down a giant corporation MLM in a scam to avenge his mother. He chooses to help Nao in the Liar Game when he sees her honest nature, reminding him of his mother. Although he is not formally invited into the Liar Game, he enters by substituting for another player in Round II. By Round III he is respected (and feared) enough by the other Liar Game players to become the unofficial leader of the Southern Country, though he tries to keep things equal in the group and actually recognizes Nao as the group’s true leader. Yokoya, however, knows Akiyama had been manipulating his teammates and mocks him for it. Akiyama’s motivation for continuing in the Liar Game is to destroy the entire LGT organization.
If you like Japanese Manga, especially psychological thrillers, or if you liked Death Note… you should check out this manga… it’s as good as, if not better, than Death Note…
