Kerry Eurodyne

Kerry Eurodyne is vocals and lead/rhythm guitar for Samurai. A frequent central character appearing in Cyberpunk 2013, Cyberpunk 2020, and Cyberpunk 2077.

2000s
Kerry Eurodyne achieved initial fame as a member of Samurai, performing vocals, lead and rhythm guitar. He went in with a vision of changing the world through music, one he shared with his best friend, Johnny Silverhand, but their perspectives regarding the execution of this plan often came to conflict. This lead to Kerry's multiple attempts at leaving the band, which were nearly successful at launching his own solo career, but, eventually, the complex relationship he had with his friend always pulled him back.

In the end, Samurai's final disbandment followed Johnny's departure instead, which lead Kerry into a rocky couple of years. Luckily, he did manage to recollect the pieces and came back to the music scene renewed and inspired, if not even encouraged by the idea of elevating his own name out of the shadow Silverhand left behind. This new beginning was rough but, just as all diamonds, through a lot of hard work and effort, his music managed to shine brighter even than contemporary commercial competitors. He withstood the test of time, his albums have gone platinum, his broken guitars had been auctioned for thousands of Eurodollars and his singing voice is recognized worldwide.

2077
In 2077, Kerry owned a Villa in North Oak maintaining a successful career of a solo artist. Media had been reporting on Kerry's depression that almost led to suicide before a concert. This was later revealed to be a marketing plot. Upon meeting V and learning of their fate, he got a chance to close the doors on some old demons.

As a media-proclaimed "god of rock" and living legend, Kerry had been compelled to put a copyright claim on his own biometric data and sign an agreement with the NCPD to scan for unauthorized replications of his facial structure. The process being necessary can be verified by exploring personal data of a Samurai Psychofan.

Game Entry
''A devilishly talented musician, incorrigible rebel, celebrity, and rockerboy from Night City. People say different things about Kerry, but there's no doubt he's America's God of rock. In the old days, he played bass next to Johnny Silverhand in the cult rock band Samurai. When the two drifted apart, Eurodyne kickstarted a solo career which, in spite of its ups and downs, is still going strong. Kerry's proud of his Filipino roots, though for someone of his fame, he's especially private about his personal life. For all its numerous flaws, he's made Night City his own - his most faithful muse.''

Official Art Book description
''Though cutting-edge plastic surgery and rejuvenation treatments have regenerated pretty much every cell a thousand times over in the intervening decades, Kerry still bears a scar from his days playing bass for Samurai, earned when Johnny swung his mic stand straight into Kerry's lip during a particularly raucous abandoned-cellar gig. He's been through a lot since then-a record label deal with the corporate devil, stints on and off the wagon, a trip back to his roots in the Philippines and, most recently, a successful solo career-but he remains defined by the could-have-beens and shouldn't-have-beens of his time at Johnny's side.''

''His left arm sports a full-sleeve tattoo, a celebration of his Filipino heritage and love of music... but it's also an eerie echo of Johnny's silver arm. He's had vocal cord implants done to let him croon solo, but something in that perfect pitch sounds tuned for Johnny. Only when he meets V does Kerry get a chance to escape the unfinished hangover from his past and re-enter his own life.''
