Yorinobu Arasaka

Yorinobu Arasaka is Saburo Arasaka’s son, a rebel against his father and a central antagonist within Cyberpunk 2077’s corporate conflict. Earlier in life he attempted to oppose Arasaka from outside the corporation through the Steel Dragons, but eventually returned and pursued change from within the family empire.

Yorinobu steals the Relic prototype containing Johnny Silverhand and keeps it at Konpeki Plaza, drawing Evelyn Parker, Dexter DeShawn, Jackie and V into the same operation. His confrontation with Saburo triggers the succession crisis that follows. Although V encounters him primarily as an enemy, his motives are more complicated than simple ambition: he sees the Arasaka system itself as something that must be destroyed, even as his methods endanger countless people.
