■ Yakuza Kiwami 3
● STORY: When the peace is shattered, the Dragon of Dojima makes his return.
After the Omi Alliance conflict, Kazuma Kiryu leaves the Tojo Clan in Daigo Dojima’s hands and moves to Okinawa with Haruka. There, he spends his days running Morning Glory, an orphanage tied to his foster father, Shintaro Kazama.
However, a government-sponsored resort deal threatens his newfound peace.
Morning Glory is caught in the crossfire, a Tojo Clan succession dispute erupts, and a conspiracy engulfs the political world.
When the maelstrom of conflicts converges, Kiryu steps into the fray once more.
● Characters
Former Fourth Chairman of the Tojo Clan
Kazuma Kiryu (VA：Takaya Kuroda)
A former yakuza legend known as the Dragon of Dojima.
His kindness and generosity have earned him the trust of many people. He currently runs Morning Glory Orphanage in Okinawa, where he looks after his adoptive daughter Haruka and 8 other children.
However, a land dispute involving the orphanage draws Kiryu out of retirement and back into the criminal underworld.
Ryudo Family Patriarch
Shigeru Nakahara (VA: Ryo Ishibashi)
An old-school yakuza with a strong sense of loyalty, duty, and morality. Stubborn to the core, he turns away from new trends and firmly adheres to his beliefs.
His plan to construct a resort where the Morning Glory stands and evict its residents puts him in direct conflict with Kiryu.
Ryudo Family Captain
Rikiya Shimabukuro (VA: Show Kasamatsu)
A hot-blooded, honorable man who loves Okinawa more than anything.
His viper tattoo, which embodies the spirit of Okinawa, has earned him the name the Fighting Viper. Though he picks a fight with Kiryu for being a mainland punk, deep down, he’s a principled guy who cares deeply for his hometown.
Junior Ryudo Family Member
Mikio (VA: Daisuke Miyagawa)
A young man who joined the Ryudo Family out of admiration for Shigeru Nakahara and Rikiya Shimabukuro. Rikiya currently serves as his direct superior.
Though he’s naive and has a lot to learn, his honest and goofy nature makes him impossible to dislike.
Sixth Chairman of the Tojo Clan
Daigo Dojima (VA: Satoshi Tokushige)
Son of Sohei Dojima and the current patriarch of the Dojima Family, to which Kiryu once belonged.
He harbors great admiration for Kiryu, who offered him guidance during his childhood. Though his father’s death caused him to spiral and leave the yakuza world, Kiryu nominates him to lead the Tojo Clan amidst the war with the Omi Alliance.
Despite his young age, he continues to move forward, shouldering the heavy burdens that come with his title.
Tojo Clan Lieutenant and Nishikiyama Family Patriarch
Tsuyoshi Kanda (VA: Hiroyuki Miyasako)
A brutish, temperamental man who is solely devoted to his own desires.
Once a low-level thug hardly worth a bullet, he made a comeback after serving time in prison, rapidly ascending to the role of patriarch through violent means. With Kamurocho in a vulnerable state, Kanda plans to take the entire city under his control.
Tojo Clan Lieutenant and Hakuho Clan Chairman
Yoshitaka Mine (VA: Shido Nakamura)
A Tojo Clan lieutenant who amassed a great fortune through the stock market and real estate.
Once an ordinary white-collar worker, Mine entered the underworld through an invitation from Tsuyoshi Kanda. His financial prowess and intellect helped him earn Daigo Dojima’s trust, allowing him to quickly rise through the Tojo Clan ranks. Though he seems cool and collected at first glance, a fiery rage bubbles deep within.
Tojo Clan Lieutenant and Hakuho Clan Chairman
Goh Hamazaki (VA: Teruyuki Kagawa)
A patriarch known as The Emperor of Hama, who took the mantle from the Snake Flower Triad to control Yokohama’s Chinatown from the shadows.
His resort deal seems to be pushing forward some larger plot behind the scenes. Taking advantage of the commotion from a shooting incident, he makes his move to seize control of Kamurocho and the Tojo Clan.
Minister of Defense
Ryuzo Tamiya (VA：Akio Otsuka)
A gruff politician spearheading the Okinawa military expansion bill.
He and Suzuki, the Minister of Transport, are running against each other to become the next prime minister. To improve national security, he launches a plan to build a new ballistic missile defense system in Okinawa. He carries an air of aloofness, his true intentions shrouded in mystery.
The Girl Living with Kiryu in Okinawa
Haruka Sawamura (VA: Rie Kugimiya)
The orphaned daughter of Kiryu’s love, Yumi.
After moving with Kiryu to Okinawa, she lives among the children of Morning Glory. She guides the younger kids and sometimes gives Kiryu a well-needed push.
The Children of Morning Glory Orphanage
The children Kiryu cares for at the orphanage.
Whether they lost their parents or were estranged from their family, they all had a different reason for coming to the orphanage. While each carries their own worries, they stand by one another as they grow older.
In Yakuza 3 Kiwami, Kiryu has two fighting styles at his disposal: the Dragon of Dojima Style and Ryukyu Style.
The Dragon of Dojima Style transforms you into an unstoppable force of nature. This style has been completely revamped, boasting the most diverse moveset in the series.
The Ryukyu Style utilizes traditional Okinawan weaponry, allowing for an exhilarating and technical playstyle. Master the 8 available weapons to dish out devastating attack combos.
Kiryu’s ability upgrades give him access to his most extensive arsenal of skills to date. Tailor Kiryu’s moveset to your playstyle as you complete missions and undergo training!
Yakuza Kiwami 3 also offers a new way to strengthen Kiryu. By customizing his cell phone with straps and other accessories, his motivation will increase—boosting his abilities to new heights.
● ADVENTURE: Revel in the Nature and Tradition of Okinawa
Morning Glory Orphanage
Bathed in Okinawa’s tropical breeze and sunlight, the bustling streets of Downtown Ryukyu overflow with lively tourists and colorful shops. Morning Glory, an orphanage run by Kiryu, is located in a quiet area on the shore.
Life at Morning Glory: Spend time with the kids and become the best caretaker around!
With Kiryu becoming the manager of Morning Glory Orphanage, it’s your job to look after the children who reside there. Together, you’ll cook, tend to a home garden, help them with homework, fish, and even go bug-catching.
You can make Kiryu stronger by doing chores and interacting with the orphans. As you become more fatherlike, you’ll discover an even larger range of activities.
Daily interactions with the children will also unlock heartwarming substories for each of them. Experience a whole new side of Kiryu as he comes face-to-face with their hopes and dreams!
Bad Boy Dragon: Assemble a motley crew of delinquents and rule the streets!
Kiryu joins a local girls’ team in their efforts to fend off enemies and protect the streets of Okinawa. As the gang’s leader, he’ll need to gather allies, train them, and take them into hardcore team battles.
Charge the enemy base atop your motorcycle in highly strategic battles that deliver unparalleled spectacles!
In addition to building your team, you can also buy new weapons, change your members’ uniforms, and trick out their bikes. Put together the ultimate squad and protect the peace of Okinawa!
● Entertainment
In Downtown Ryukyu and Kamurocho, there are plenty of ways to cut loose.
Pose for the perfect shot at the Print Club, aim for strikes in bowling, and enjoy a series of other staple minigames—including golf, darts, karaoke, UFO Catchers, gambling, and mahjong!

● BATTLE: Ruthless Combat

These treasures include new offensive skills, the ability to hire mercenaries for a price, and more. Make the most of this loot to challenge harder dungeons and amass a fortune in prize money!
