Shogo Takamoto
His upper body is completely covered by a tattoo, as is the tradition among high-ranking Yakuza members. The last time Lara met him, he was trying to pass off forged relics from the Asuka period, and only just survived Lara. Takamoto is similar in characterisation to Chen Lo from the Cradle of Life film.
from the official site
Shogo Takamoto is a Yakuza Kumicho (boss) who loves ancient weapons. In addition to being a powerful figure in the Japanese mob, he also became a fixture in the antiquities underground, frustrating collectors and adventurers alike by mixing forgeries with authentic items. Despite his untrustworthy reputation, he continues to be a player due to his ability to ferret out what people really want and dangle it before them, such that their desires overpower their better judgement. His most recent encounter with Lara left a very bad taste in his mouth, but he has been unwilling to risk seeking revenge, because the likely failure of the attempt would mean an enormous loss of face.
