Yakuza Kiwami hits Nintendo Switch October 24th

The Like a Dragon series makes its
Nintendo Switch™ debut!

The Like a Dragon games depict the struggles of making a living in the heartland of the entertainment district.
Through their realistic portrayals of modern Japan, they explore themes of love, humanity, and betrayal.
In 2005, the first entry of the series was released.
Now, a new generation of players will be able to experience Yakuza Kiwami,
a fully-fledged remake of that first game, on the Nintendo Switch™.

Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima,
is drawn into a web of conspiracies
after a chance encounter
with a girl worth 10 billion yen.

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.

The Dragon of Dojima

Kazuma Kiryu

voiced by Takaya Kuroda

The former lieutenant advisor of the Dojima Family.
His nickname, the Dragon of Dojima, comes from the dragon tattoo on his back.
To protect his childhood friend, Akira Nishikiyama, and the woman he loves, Yumi Sawamura,
he shouldered the crime of having murdered his patriarch.
After serving a ten-year sentence in prison, he returns to Kamurocho.
In his absence, the streets of Kamurocho have been engulfed by the infighting of the Tojo Clan.
When ten billion yen goes from the Tojo Clan's coffers,
Kiryu finds himself dragged back into the criminal underworld.

The Girl Worth 10 Billion Yen

Haruka

voiced by Rie Kugimiya

A young, mysterious girl who is linked to the Tojo Clan's missing fortune.
Her path crosses with Kiryu's by chance,
but the two soon find they share a deeper connection.
Haruka and Kiryu team up to search for her mother Mizuki.

A Changed Man

Akira Nishikiyama

voiced by Kazuhiro Nakaya

A former member of the Dojima Family.
He and Kiryu were raised in Sunflower Orphanage
by Shintaro Kazama, a crime boss known for his noble demeanor.
Following in Kazama's footsteps,
Nishikiyama and Kiryu joined the Dojima Family as sworn brothers.
However, their bond is pushed to the test
when they become embroiled in an incident that breaks the yakuza code.
After Kiryu serves ten years in prison,
he finds that Nishikiyama is now a patriarch in the Tojo Clan
and no longer the same person he once knew.

The Mad Dog of Shimano

Goro Majima

voiced by Hidenari Ugaki

Captain of the Shimano Family and patriarch of the Majima Family.
Revered and feared for his fighting ability, other yakuza steer clear of this loose cannon.
His unpredictable nature and wildly violent tendencies
have earned him the nickname The Mad Dog of Shimano.
He becomes strangely obsessed with Kiryu, stalking him incessantly around the city.

A Childhood Friend

Yumi Sawamura

voiced by Maaya Sakamoto

Raised in the same orphanage as Kiryu and Nishikiyama,
the three grew up treasuring each other like family.
After Kiryu and Nishikiyama joined Kazama in the criminal underworld,
Yumi followed behind to become a hostess at an upscale bar called Serena.
However, their peaceful lives are shattered by the tragic murder of Sohei Dojima.
When Kiryu gets out of prison ten years later, she is nowhere to be found.

The Model Yakuza

Shintaro Kazama

voiced by Tetsuya Watari

Patriarch of the Kazama Family.
A yakuza who established the Sunflower Orphanage,
where he raised Kiryu, Nishikiyama, and Yumi like a father.
Kiryu and Nishikiyama were inspired to follow in his footsteps and swear oaths to the yakuza.
His unwavering loyalty, integrity, and temperate nature have earned him the trust of those around him.
