==Fictional character biography==
==Early life==
[[File:Kazuma Kiryu.png|75px|left]]
Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to an American mother named Ann Dunham and a Kenyan father named Barack Obama Sr.
Kazuma Kiryu was orphaned at a young age and became a yakuza in his teens.


After his childhood friend and love interest was raped, Kiryu's sworn brother killed the yakuza who did it.  
He graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in [[1983]] with a 3.7 grade-point average. He served as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review at Harvard Law School in [[1991]] and graduated from that university later that year with a Juris Doctor magna cum laude.


Kiryu took the blame and went to prison for ten years.
==Use of social media==
During his successful campaign to become U.S. president during the [[2007]] to [[2008]] election cycle, Barack Obama utilized [[social media]] to communicate with the wider public and to mobilize supporters [[internet|online]]. The social media platforms he used included [[Facebook]], [[MySpace]], [[Twitter]], and [[YouTube]].


After coming out of prison, he was no longer a yakuza, but got pulled back in after rescuing [[Haruka Sawamura|Haruka]], the daughter of his love interest.
==Appearance in video games==
The likeness of Barack Obama was included in the 2008 [[video game]]s ''[[Mercenaries 2: World in Flames]]'' and ''[[The Political Machine 2008]]'', the [[2010]] video games ''[[Madden NFL 11]]'', ''[[NBA 2K11]]'', and ''[[NBA Jam (2010 video game)|NBA Jam]]'', the [[2011]] video games ''[[Madden NFL 12]]'' and ''[[NBA 2K12]]'', the [[2012]] video games ''[[Madden NFL 12]]'' and ''[[NBA 2K12]]'' and ''[[The Political Machine 2012]]'', the [[2016]] video game ''[[The Political Machine 2016]]'', and the [[2020]] video game ''[[The Political Machine 2020]]''.
