This minifigure represents a fierce East Asian gangster, a “古惑仔” (Gǔhuòzǎi). His specific appearance, particularly the traditional style of his tattoos (irezumi) and loincloth, strongly identifies him as a member of the Japanese Yakuza.
He appears to be a generic character representing a powerful clan leader or enforcer, heavily inspired by characters from popular fiction like the “Yakuza” video game series. His aggressive expression and commanding tattoos are designed to be very intimidating.
The item in the picture is a single, extremely detailed toy minifigure:
- His body is almost entirely covered in intricate, black-and-white Japanese-style tattoos (irezumi). These include a large, fierce dragon on his chest and stomach, and what appears to be an Oni (demon) mask on his back.
- He is wearing a traditional white fundoshi (loincloth), which is worn to display the full extent of the impressive tattoo work.
- The English word “hegemony” (meaning ‘dominance’ or ‘leadership’) is printed on the waistband of his loincloth, emphasizing his powerful status.
- The figure has an intense, shouting expression, as if in the middle of a battle or issuing a challenge.
