Genya Arikado is actually Alucard’s fake persona in Japan for Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow. While he should have been more prominent, it’s hard to hate the character.

It isn’t super obvious that he’s actually Alucard. But his fake last name is actually very close to how Alucard is pronounced in Japanese phonetics. While he reveals himself in Dawn of Sorrow, I don’t believe he does in Aria of Sorrow.

But he was definitely the greatest benefactor of Soma Cruz. Whom happened to be the reincarnation of his father. Which must have been kind of weird for both of them to realize.
