Away from the stuffy streets of Kamurocho, Kazuma Kiryu takes a step back from his life in the monastery.
In order to understand why Kazuma Kiryu will become the hero of Yakuza 8 with Ichiban Kasuga, in addition to the new hairstyle, the Japanese studio Ryu Ga Gotoku decided to explain the events that took place after the end of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life before the new license opus with the spin-off Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Wiped Out His Name
Dojima’s dragon is meditating on a sweltering summer day in 2018, and a monk chides him for not leaving his family… The monk turns out to be a hypocrite, as it is soon revealed that the monastery that Kiryu has settled in is just a front for the Daidoji family from Yakuza 6. No name I know. Meanwhile, Kiryu does not remain nameless, as everyone around him now refers to him as “Joryu”, which his shadow master refers to as his “codename”. Criminal espionage for Kazuma Kiryu’s new adventures?
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will release next year on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and PC (Steam/Microsoft Store).
