Ryu Hayabusa, a modern ninja of the dragon clan from Ninja Gaiden, becomes Amazing Yamaguchi! His sharp gaze and weapons that cut through evil are all expressed with movable eyes! Since his first appearance in 1988 in the 2D action game, he has also appeared in popular titles such as Dead or Alive and the Warriors Orochi series. In Amazing Yamaguchi, he is three-dimensionalized in a modern ninja suit style from Ninja Gaiden 2, the main title in the series. His muscular proportions and details inspired by high-tech materials are sculpted with the same precision as in the game. He comes with a variety of weapons used in the game, including the demon-repelling sword Ryuken, which can be unsheathed from the sheath on his back, as well as the Kusarigama, Shuriken, and Hard-Shelled Raptor Claws. Katsuhisa Yamaguchi has put a lot of effort into the movement, such as dividing the side of the chest to allow the shoulders to move forward and backward, and adding joints to the shins to express flexibility. In addition, the wrist parts, such as handles for each weapon and hand gestures for making mudras, are selected in a ninja-like style, allowing you to recreate ninja actions using a variety of weapons! The sharp eyes glaring from under the mask can be changed with the movable eyeball gimmick. The muffler, which is sculpted to flutter in the wind, can also be moved with a joint at the base, making action poses even cooler! The "hard-shelled raptor claws" equipped with sharp blades on the limbs and used to cut through enemies are recreated by replacing the arm and leg parts. The silhouette and fighting style change dramatically with this weapon, further expanding the range of action!
