![]() 25 years before the events of Yakuza 4, he walked into a Ramen shop and executed 18 members of the Ueno Seiwa clan, one of them being their boss. When Saejima is introduced, he seems like a hard boiled killer. The Ueno Seiwa clan want to take her, Akiyama isn’t going to let that happen. Akiyama falls for her because she looks exactly like his ex-girlfriend, who left him after he was lost his job. Now with some smart investing Akiyama is very well off, so much so that he doesn’t care about losing or even making money.Īkiyama’s troubles start when a woman who calls herself Li comes into his office to ask for 100 million yen. Lucky for him, in 2005 there was an explosion at Millennium Tower that sent down billions of yen (events from the original Yakuza game). ![]() The other business he owns is Elise, a popular hostess bar.Īkiyama wasn’t always a successful business man, he used to be homeless after he was framed for fraud at his successful bank job. It usually has something to do to either test their character or if they can actually succeed with what they want to use the money for. Catch is that you have to pass a test set up by Akiyama. You get the money you want with no interest or fees. The first one is Sky Finance, which takes in clients that every other place rejects. He is basically a comedic slacker character and who doesn’t love a slacker that always makes us laugh? He owns two places of business in Kuromocho. Out of the three new playable characters introduced in this title, by far my favorite is Akiyama. Most major video game series’ that tried changing the lead character usually fail, see Metal Gear Solid 2. One of the hardest things to do when making a playable character is making them likeable. Instead of just playing as the lead character, Kazuma Kiryu, you now have 3 more characters added with their own backstory. SEGA is really trying to change things up with this entry. It’s great that SEGA has continued to bring the series over to the west despite the failure of the first game, but four entries in has Kazuma Kiryu finally worn out his welcome? Read on to find out. Now we are all the way to the fourth main entry for the series. When the original failed to catch on in the west, there was a lot of doubt that the franchise would ever come to the west again. Since then the series has seen significant growth, spawning three direct sequels and three spin offs. I was super excited to find out that SEGA was going to bring it over. I remember reading about the first Yakuza game (Ryū ga Gotoku in Japan) way back in 2005.
