Shinichi Akiyama

Driven by a desire to avenge his mother against a massive MLM scheme, this brilliant former psychology student operates as a master manipulator. Though he initially joins the Liar Game as a substitute during the second round, his strategic prowess quickly earns him the role of an unofficial leader. While he attempts to maintain fairness among his allies, his complex relationship with Nao is shaped by her resemblance to his late mother, even as rivals like Yokoya attempt to expose his calculated methods.
