Character Description: Yamagata
Yamagata really isn't an important character. He was probably put in the manga and anime for dramatic reasons, as he dies at the hands of Tetsuo. In the manga, it was in a warehouse, where Tetsuo killed a bunch of people. In the anime, it was a bar, where Tetsuo hits him with a fridge then brutally murders him. Kai, who was there, escaped. His bike was demolished by Kaneda after Yama's death in respect, not out of anger.
