Minifigure – East Asian gangster Irish with the traditional Japanese tattoos irezumi and pompadour hairstyle (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents a powerful East Asian gangster, a “古惑仔” (Gǔhuòzǎi). His specific appearance, with the traditional Japanese tattoos (irezumi) and pompadour hairstyle, strongly identifies him as a member of the Japanese Yakuza.

More specifically, his design is almost certainly a representation of the iconic antagonist Ryuji Goda, known as the “Dragon of Kansai,” from the popular SEGA video game Yakuza 2. Goda is a famous rival to the series’ main protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu, and is known for his immense strength and his own legendary dragon tattoo.

The item in the picture is a single, extremely detailed toy minifigure:

• His torso, back, and legs are covered in a colorful, full-body Japanese-style tattoo (irezumi). The main image is a large, coiling green Japanese dragon surrounded by clouds, waves, and red flowers (peonies or lotuses).
• He is depicted shirtless, wearing only traditional-style trousers, in order to fully display the impressive tattoo.
• The head piece perfectly captures the character’s distinctive style with a black pompadour hairstyle, sunglasses, and an aggressive, shouting expression.
