Haruyoshi Nishikata

Haruyoshi Nishikata is a character in Cyberpunk 2077.

Biography
Haruyoshi Nishikata was an individual that found himself fleeing his home country of Japan after letting his moral values overthrow the oath he took as a doctor of medicine. He takes pride in achieving the title of world's best surgeon vocally and attributes it to having good instincts.

Haruyoshi's misfortune started once he found one of the Tyger Claw bosses on his operating table. Despite having a clear duty as a surgeon, he chose to take matters into his own hands for a greater good and allowed the surgery to fail. With his reputation of making no mistakes, the cause for the results of the unsuccessful procedure were obvious to the Tyger Claws, forcing Haruyoshi to take up hiding on a boat and swimming to America, straight to Night City, where his contact Dennis was to rescue him.

Dennis contracted a local merc named V to deal with the pickup, which proved that the Tyger Claws had not given up searching for Haruyoshi even as he spent time concealed in a broken-down freezer in one of Kabuki beach shacks until losing consciousness.

Survival
Upon meeting Dennis, Haruyoshi showed visible relief and was glad to explain his tragedy to V.
