Like a Dragon Gaiden is a brand-new title that depicts Kazuma Kiryu’s story after the events of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. The game features improved combat, new stages, and an abundance of entertaining minigames.
– What must you sacrifice to protect the ones you love?
Once a legend in the yakuza world, Kazuma Kiryu faked his death and cut ties with his past. Deprived of any connections to his loved ones and the life that he had, he makes a deal with the Daidoji Faction and works for them under the codename Joryu.
One day, he is ordered to guard an illegal gold smuggling site in the Port of Yokohama. It was supposed to be an easy assignment, little more than loose change for the organization. As a former yakuza who had climbed up the ranks and even reached the seat of Chairman in the Tojo Clan, Kiryu exuded an enigmatic presence even amongst the Daidoji agents. After some envy-laced provocation from his peers, Kiryu lashes out impulsively.
This only deepens the feeling of emptiness that has swallowed up his life.
However, at that moment a mysterious group suddenly appears before him. A deal that no soul should’ve known about is suddenly shut down, and amidst the resulting chaos, the group seems to recognize Kiryu.
They cannot be allowed to simply disappear into the shadows. Though he had severed all ties to his past, Kazuma Kiryu finds himself stepping into the maelstrom of the underworld once more.
Kiryu can switch between Agent style and Yakuza style during battle.
Known as the “Dragon of Dojima”, Kazuma Kiryu became a legend in the criminal underworld after countless battles.
Characterized by ferocious haymakers, bone-shattering kicks, and the impromptu use of nearby objects as weapons, Kiryu’s fighting style is designed to completely overwhelm his foes. Even after he joins the Daidoji, his technique continues to become more and more refined, nearing the realm of perfection.
This secret fighting style was developed by Daidoji Agents to better carry out their intelligence operations.
It combines martial art techniques from different countries and time periods with equipment known as “gadgets”. Those who master this style are said to possess complete control of any situation, no matter the opponent.
Forced by the Daidoji to learn their techniques, Kiryu now has the skill set to complete any operation flawlessly.
It’s a style befitting of Joryu, a man who has erased his name.
The main cast includes Yasukaze Motomiya, Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi, First Summer Uika, and Kim Jaeuck.
