Nyajima

"'The hell is 'minecraft'?'— Nyajima"Nyajima is a secret miniboss in A Hat in Time. After coming to Starcross, he changed his appearance to be more Majima-like and started to make some friends. Despite him being a nyakuza, he's not exactly thrilled about the state of his organization, and is working towards change.

Appearance
Nyajima's one of the taller varieties of metro cat, with the standard black fur, yellow eyes, and apparent lack of mouth. He also wears a hand-sewn jacket that's made to look like a snakeskin jacket, as well as a mouse-themed eyepatch.

Personality
Nyajima's a nice but occasionally awkward guy with an intense passion for the Yakuza film and the Yakuza game series. Nyajima's passion for Yakuza is so intense, in fact, that he often tries to imitate Majima, even going as far as to change his name to match. Around his friends, however, his intimidating yakuza tough guy act tends to fall apart. He's very loyal to his friends and has a tendency to worry about them a lot.

Story in Starcross
His first notable action in Starcross is to convince a broke and jobless Katia Managan to rob Devil May Cry with him, which went surprisingly well. After returning to Blossom Village to safely deposit the stolen goods (consisting of a stash of Gold Orbs and Dante's notes), he decides to hang around the village more until he can deliver the goods to The Empress once her vacation was over. Upon realizing that Nyajima and Katia stole from Dante, winner of the tournament and probably the scariest man alive, they come up with a plan to return the goods to Dante and avoid the scrutiny of The Empress. During that time, however, he and Katia are investigated by Dante, Bones, Therapist, and Lad. Nyajima manages to get the stolen DMC goods to The Empress, but is soon after interrogated at gunpoint by Lad, who is accompanied by Dante, Banana, Tomnyan, and Ori. Even at gunpoint, Nyajima refuses to give anything up. Eventually, Katia is brought into the house where the interrogation is being conducted. After about two minutes, she sets the house on fire. This gives her and Nyajima an opportunity to escape in different directions. After spending some time in hiding, Katia successfully executes their plan. This means that Nyajima's off the hook, so he decides to come back to the village. After being given $5,000 in stolen nyakuza money from Katia, he's given $50,000 from Lad. Nyajima wants to spend some of his money on Katia because she basically saved him, so he buys her an outfit at her request. Bringing Shingo along with him to pick the outfit up, Nyajima runs into Katia and Sorty. After successfully retrieving the outfit, the four are taken on a magical TV adventure by Wiz. Yin is inexplicably brought in to this world as a monkey god. Once they defeat the lava monster Karen, thus completing their adventure, they are rewarded with the ability to leave and also a bunch of money. On April Fool's day, Nyajima had a fateful meeting with Kiryu, where Kiryu taught Nyajima the secrets of "self-investment" and gave him a new passion for turning the nyakuza an organization to be proud of.
