Paul Atishon-Wimperson, or simply Paul Atishon, was a politician running for the position of local assemblyman of Kurain Village, and a witness in one of Apollo Justice's cases, as well as the plaintiff in a civil lawsuit against Dhurke Sahdmadhi. He forced Phoenix Wright to serve as the opposing attorney against Justice, using his political influence and threatening Wright with Maya Fey's safety.

Running for assemblyman

Main article: Turnabout Revolution

During his run for local assemblyman, he received a number of stolen Kurain and Khura'inese artifacts from Inga Karkhuul Khura'in. He gave them to Professor Archie Buff, an archaeologist in the Kurain Village area. However, once Buff caught wind of them being stolen, he refused to return them, forcing Atishon to kill him to retrieve them. He then forced Wright to be his attorney in the ensuing civil trial, using Fey's safety as leverage.

Name

  • Kiyoki (清き) means "proper" or "clean", which is an ironical reference of his personality. The name Masaharu can also be read as seiji (政治), meaning "politics," referring to his profession.
  • His English name is a play on the word "politician".
  • His grandfather's name is an homage to Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States, and Shinzō Abe, the prime minister of Japan as of 2016.

Note

Atishon is one of only four characters in the Ace Attorney games to have a known birth date. The only other characters to have a known birth date are Dustin Prince, an unseen and unnamed relative of one of Shi-Long Lang's subordinates, and Rayfa Padma Khura'in.
