SEGA's critically acclaimed game that spawned a legend. Become Kazuma Kiryu, a rising yakuza who takes the blame for killing a crime boss, only to emerge from prison ten years later into a changed world.

10 years ago, Kazuma Kiryu takes the blame for a crime he didn't commit in order to save his best friend.

Expelled from his yakuza family, Kiryu is released from prison and sent to a city he no longer recognizes. Chaos erupts when ¥10 billion goes missing from the Tojo Clan's vault, and with Kiryu caught in the middle, he discovers that everything points to a mysterious young girl named Haruka.



Together, they must survive to find the answers they both seek.

In 2005, a legend was born on the PlayStation 2. Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima, made his video game debut in Yakuza.

Now, 11 years after that release, a new generation of gamers will be able to experience the incomparable action and drama of the Yakuza series with the rebuilt HD remake from the ground up, Yakuza Kiwami.
