August 21, 2025 – SEGA has revealed more information about the characters and minigames that appear in Yakuza Kiwami 2, which makes its Nintendo Switch™ 2 debut on November 13, 2025.
STORY – The Dragon of Kansai Strikes
Kazuma Kiryu believed his yakuza days were over, living an ordinary life with Haruka Sawamura—until a single gunshot shatters that peace. When Yukio Terada, the fifth chairman of the Tojo Clan, is assassinated, Kiryu finds himself pulled back into yakuza affairs.
With the Tojo Clan weakened, Kiryu himself journeys to Kansai’s Sotenbori to broker peace, but ends up coming face-to-face with Ryuji Goda, a powerful yakuza known as the Dragon of Kansai, and Kaoru Sayama, the lead detective of Osaka PD.
Now, the east and west are on the cusp of war as a tragedy buried for over 20 years boils to the surface.
When the Dragon of Kansai and his forces launch an invasion of Kamurocho, Kiryu has no choice but to fight back.
Characters

Jiro Kawara (VA: Susumu Terajima)
A calm man of few words whose spotty record of shooting suspects has earned him the moniker Kawara the Demon.

An incident 20 years ago haunts him to this day.

Ryo Takashima (VA: Hakuryu)
The chief of the Omi Alliance’s HQ.

Osaka Prefectural Police Chief, Division Four: Organized Crime
Tsutomu Bessho (VA: Yuichi Kimura)
An accomplished Osaka PD detective known as Bessho the Viper.
