'''Shigeru Akagi''''' '''''(赤木しげる''', ''Akagi Shigeru''''')''''' ''is introduced as a deceptively adult looking young boy, whose spark of genius transcends age and resides in gambling, especially in the game of mahjong. Throughout the story, Akagi utilizes techniques other gamblers don't dare to, in order to sway his opponents: brazen cheating, extremely risky maneuvers, far fetched bluffs, and blatant disregard for his own life.
His last name is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiichirō_Akagi Keiichirō Akagi], a Japanese actor.
== Appearance ==
Despite this, he has shown consideration and concern for [[Osamu]] after the latter begins to tag along within the three year timeskip following Akagi's match with [[Iwao Washizu|Washizu]] [[Iwao Washizu|Iwao]]. A few times over the course of chapters three-hundred to the latest chapter, he has repeatedly tried to convince Osamu to turn away and get a normal life as not to get involved, though it can be argued that he did this for the sake of preferring to be alone and trying to make it so.
==
The series is set up with four major time skips, showing Akagi at different points in his life. He is introduced at 13, again at 19-20, then at 22-24, and finally appears in one of Fukumoto's earlier series, ''Ten'', from ages 44-53.
