This is a waaay old interview about DOA2 Hardcore. I'm guessing this is right before Itagaki decided to change his look. Here you actually can see the whites of his eyes.

I heard if you look into the mirror and say his name 3 times, he will force you to play Ninja Gaiden on Hard Mode.

so they weren't reverse correctional lenses after all, and there aren't black holes behind his shades, Rumor Smash!

I think Itagaki got to him. Bad idea insulting the man with his shades already off. Shades on, at least you'd have a second or two to... eh, nevermind, probably better to just not insult him.

That's probably how he blends in with the rest of the world... takes off his shades and becomes invisible in Japan.

The best part is that he'll be at peace and open in his most normal state.

And as far as saying that he looks like Michael Jackson, Yoko Ono, or John Lennon... everyone looks like someone.

It really depends on which glasses he's wearing. He doesn't look nearly as evil and imposing in his other pair:

Naw, it's like the "Prophecy" movies. He doesn't really have any eyes when he wears the sunglasses, but when he takes them off, it looks like he has eyes.

And to kill him, you've gotta gouge out the eyes. Or get your ass kicked by Christopher Walken.

I should watch those movies again.

Itagaki needs to cut his hair, long hair is for sissies and druggies. he needs to get some sleep to, the man looks about 50 and he is Asian, which means most will think he is 70+. Not a good look for him.

Sing to "Thriller"

*It's close to miiiidnight, and Itagaki's lurking in the dark. Under the moonlight, Itagaki grabs his secretary's private parts..

She tries to scream…but terror (and Jack Daniels) takes the sound before she makes it… and terror looks her right between the thighs, she's paralyzed!

The whites of his eyes? I see no white! The man has NO SOUL!
