This minifigure represents a quintessential East Asian gangster, a “古惑仔” (Gǔhuòzǎi). More specifically, his appearance and highly detailed tattoos are almost certainly a representation of the famous video game protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, from SEGA’s popular “Yakuza” series (known as Ryu ga Gotoku in Japan).
Kazuma Kiryu is an iconic character, known for his stoic personality and the incredible, full-body irezumi tattoo that is often revealed during fights when he removes his shirt. This minifigure is a clear tribute to that famous character design.
The item in the picture is a single, extremely detailed toy minifigure:
- The most prominent feature is the full-body tattoo print that covers the figure’s torso, back, arms, and legs. The artwork features classic Japanese tattoo motifs, including two fierce Oni (demons) or guardian kings on the chest, a large dragon on the back, and a tiger on the arm, all surrounded by stylized clouds and waves.
- The figure is depicted as bare-chested with an open vest, specifically to show off the intricate tattoo work.
- The head piece features black, styled hair, glasses, and a goatee, capturing a modern gangster aesthetic.
- The figure is shown from multiple angles to highlight the comprehensive “360-degree” tattoo printing.
