James is the ever-polite yet hilariously stoic butler who serves King Stan in Okage: Shadow King, a role-playing game released for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. Acting as both royal attendant and reluctant guide, James is tasked with watching over the young protagonist Ari after the fall of the Shadow King, carrying out his duties with dry wit and unwavering formality despite the increasingly bizarre situations around him. His stiff demeanor contrasts sharply with the game’s quirky, Tim Burton–inspired art style and offbeat humor, making him a memorable supporting character. Through James, Okage pokes fun at classic RPG archetypes, using his loyalty to King Stan and deadpan reactions to ground the story while amplifying its comedic tone.
