Here’s an overview of Yakuza Kiwami:

Story

1995, Kamurocho… An up-and-coming yakuza takes the fall for the murder of a crime boss to protect his sworn brother and his childhood friend. This man is none other than Kazuma Kiryu, the legendary Dragon of Dojima. After a decade, Kiryu is released from prison to a world he no longer recognizes. His own organization has turned against him, and various conspiracies threaten to tear the streets of Kamurocho apart.

When 10 billion yen vanishes from the Tojo Clan vault and Kiryu finds himself caught in the middle, he finds everything points to a young, mysterious girl named Haruka. In the midst of the chaos, a chance encounter brings the two together. Together, they must survive to find the answers they both seek.

Battle

With simple controls that allow anyone to get in on the action, get ready to brawl in the gritty streets of Kamurocho. As a yakuza, you’re not just confined to punches and kicks—pick up everyday items off the ground and turn them into deadly weapons! Switch between 4 battle styles: the balanced Brawler Style, the speedy Rush Style, the powerful Beast Style, and Kiryu’s trademark Dragon of Dojima.

Minigames

The Like a Dragon series offers a wide assortment of entertainment outside the main story. Stage battles between scantily-clad insect women in the popular card game MesuKing: Battle Bug Beauties, converse with your favorite hostesses at cabaret clubs, or race your souped-up miniature cars and compete for glory in Pocket Circuit! In Yakuza Kiwami, anything goes—including mahjong, karaoke, billiards, and casino staples!
