Appearances[]
River City: Tokyo Rumble[]
In the story mode, Kinjishi is first mentioned by Ukyō and Sakyō Azuma as one of the opponents the protagonists will need to face in order to take down the Kanto Lion Alliance. They inform the group that he'll be in Akihabara though mention that it's unknown if he'll actually show up. On a first run of the game, Kinjishi will not appear and will instead be impersonated by Sakata.
On a second run of the game, Kinjishi will first be seen fighting a pair of thugs on the streets of Akihabara and puts an end to the fight once his secretaries inform him that he has to attend his next meeting. The protagonists watch the fight from afar with Riki commenting on his strength and Shinji pointing out that it may be the guy they're looking for. Kunio then decides to follow him and ends up finding him inside of the staff room in the Electronics Mall. Kinjishi asks the group to leave as only employees are allowed inside, though Kunio instead asks if he's Kinjishi to which he confirms. Kinjishi's secretary points out that they're the group that's attempting to take down the Alliance which immediately excites him. He asks his secretary to reschedule his meeting and upon being asked by Misuzu why he'd want to get involved, he states that although his company runs the store, his true passion in life is fighting. Upon being defeated, he thanks Kunio for the fight and asks his secretary to send a message to Shishiō that his takeover of Akihabara remains pending.
