Spotlight on: Major Takeaki Misawa from Siren 2

Takeaki Misawa in Siren 2
In this ‘spotlight on’ video I talk about the character of Takeaki Misawa from Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Studio’s Forbidden Siren 2.

Takeaki Misawa is a Major in the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force. Haunted by terrible memories from the moment he saved Harumi Yomoda — the only survivor of the original Siren game — from Hanuda. In the sequel he’s in the helicopter that crash-lands on Yamijima Island with his comrades Yorito Nagai and Hiroshi Okita.

In the PlayStation 2-exclusive game Forbidden Siren 2 — that was only released in Japan, Europe & Australia — Takeaki Misawa becomes increasingly psychotic and homicidal, which leads to dangerous encounters with the rest of the stranded cast.

What is Takeaki Misawa meant to convey in Siren 2? Let’s put the spotlight on him.
