Tarou Akiyama

    As the current harbormaster for the port of Yokohama, Tarou Akiyama has proven himself more than an equal to his peers, despite his youth. A Yokohama native, Tarou took over the role of harbormaster two years ago, succeeding his father in the disarray left by his unexpected death. Despite some controversy and a media circus surrounding the actual legality of Tarou’s employment, the port’s increased efficiency and the minor economic boom that followed played a major part in convincing the Port and Harbor Bureau to hire him officially. Under his administration, the port city continues to experience steady economic growth, with no sign of stopping anytime soon.
