Description
Dr. Akamamire is a character from the 1999 film Crayon Shin-chan: Explosion! The Hot Spring's Feel Good Final Battle. In the story, he is the 51-year-old leader of a terrorist organization called YUZAME, which is dedicated to the destruction of hot springs and baths. He is depicted as a middle-aged man who typically wears red clothing.
His motivations stem from a deeply personal and somewhat ironic past. Thirty years before the events of the film, when he was a university student, Akamamire was a great lover of public baths. He was particularly fond of a specific bathhouse where he always reserved a shoe locker with the number 3, the same number worn by his favorite baseball player, Shigeo Nagashima. His life changed when another person took the key to his cherished locker number 3. This seemingly trivial incident caused him such profound shock that he developed an intense hatred for baths and everyone who enjoyed them. This bitterness festered for three decades, leading him to form YUZAME and devise a plan for global revenge. His scheme involves a legendary hot spring source known as the hot water of the soul of gold, which he aims to destroy using a giant drilling robot.
In terms of personality, Akamamire is generally calm and composed, rarely flustered by minor setbacks. He has a sarcastic wit, once criticizing the news media for a lack of crisis management during a giant robot rampage. Despite his villainous role, he has particular quirks, such as a strong love for yakiniku, or grilled meat. He is shown eating it on several occasions, always choosing high-quality cuts, and his headquarters features a large rotating grill at its center. His hobby is do-it-yourself projects, and he uses this skill to create a series of elaborate and unhealthy traps known as the Land of Unhealthy, which proves to be one of the most formidable challenges the Nohara family has ever faced.
Akamamire is the primary antagonist, and his actions drive the plot forward. He captures the Nohara family and subjects them to the tortures of his Unhealthy Land in an attempt to force them to reveal the location of the legendary hot spring's source. When that fails, he personally pilots his giant mole robot to crush the source himself. The climax reveals his past trauma, and after his robot is defeated by the Nohara family, he makes a last-ditch attempt to soak in the golden hot water to gain its power for himself. However, instead of granting him strength, the water heals his troubled heart, leading to his reformation. He reconciles with Kusatsu, the man who had inadvertently taken his shoe locker key three decades prior and is revealed to be a member of the Hot Spring G-Men. Upon his redemption, he is finally given the key to locker number 3. Following his change of heart, Akamamire and his former subordinates dedicate themselves to helping rebuild the town that was destroyed during the final battle.
