Letz Shake (レッツ・シェイク) is a fictional character in the 2007 video game No More Heroes. He is a 22-year-old Singaporean assassin and vocalist of a punk band.
He is ranked fifth in the United Assassins Association. His weapon, the Earthquake Maker, was previously a war weapon owned by the L.B Army and contains the brain of its inventor, Dr. Shake. While he speaks with a comical German accent, in-game concept cards confirm him to be Singaporean. The top half of his overalls has been flipped outwards and the kanji 大地震 (huge earthquake) have been drawn in. He and Dr. Shake are bisected by Henry in an anticlimactic fashion just as Travis Touchdown begins to attack. The visor and wristpad he dons during the set-up phase of Dr. Shake resemble that of Nintendo's Virtual Boy, while Dr. Shake contains engines that reference the PlayStation 3's cell microprocessor and the Xbox 360's Trinity engine. Letz Shake seems to have the same on-stage mannerisms as the singer, Michael Jackson, such as the crotch-grab.
In No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, Letz Shake reappears as Dr. Letz Shake (despite the fact that Talbot and Weller collected his remains), where Letz Shake's brain now controls the Earthquake Maker, & the countdown is now only 3 seconds as opposed to the original 10 seconds. He has also placed Henry in carbonite for revenge.
Letz Shake is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, while Dr. Shake is voiced by Fred Tatasciore.

Trivia
- Trading cards which feature concept art of Letz Shake reveal that early in the development of No More Heroes, he was originally called Let's Shake, and had hair colored red instead of green.
- The thugs encountered before the fight (who are later fought before the rank 1 battle) strongley resemble TIE fighter pilots from the Star Wars universe.
