Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – Factions in Hawaii
The Barracudas

A powerful mafia group in Hawaii. Made up of members who share a common past living on the streets, the Barracudas are known to wield machetes and instill fear in the local populace by spilling open the guts of their enemies. Despite their public displays of carnage, the local law enforcement has so far failed to bring them to justice, leading some to question if financial incentives are at play.

The Ganzhe

A local Chinese mafia group threatening to cleave Hawaii’s underworld in two. A notorious syndicate that rivals the Barracudas in strength, whose commander, Wong Tou, serves as the owner of the luxury Nirvana Hotel. The Ganzhe have forged a powerful global network by laundering for the ultra-wealthy.
For reasons unknown, they are pursuing Akane—believed to be biological mother of Kasuga—and
are also in the midst of a fierce turf war with the Barracudas.

The Yamai Syndicate

A gang on the rise, led by the enigmatic Yamai. Under the leadership of Yutaka Yamai, this primarily Japanese group has been making a name for themselves in Hawaii.
There are whispers that Yamai was embroiled in an incident in Japan that forced him to flee to Hawaii, but the veracity of these claims remains uncertain. Operating out of Night Square, a district in Honolulu, the Yamai Syndicate grows their territory day by day with the ambition of challenging the Ganzhe and the Barracudas. Driven by the prospect of financial gain, they join the power struggle over Akane.

Palekana

A long-standing religious organization devoted to helping the underprivileged in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. An age-old religious institution with a legacy spanning over a hundred years.
