Fictional character biography

Shun Akiyama was a successful businessman, however he was framed for embezzlement and became homeless.

After the Millenium Tower exploded in 2005, sending billions of yen to the street below, Akiyama picked up as much as he could.

He used the money to become a day trader and earned billions of yen of his own.

With his wealth, Akiyama became the lifeline of Kamurocho when he started a no-interest loan company known as Sky Finance.
