Kazuma Kiryu (桐生一馬 Kiryu Kazuma?) is the main protagonist of the Yakuza (known as 'Like a Dragon' in Japan and the series after Yakuza: Like a Dragon) series besides Yakuza: Like a Dragon and the spin-off series Judgment and a playable character in Project X Zone 2. Over the course of the series, Kiryu is often called to Kamurocho despite his retirement from being a yakuza. It often involves his old yakuza organization, the Tojo clan, who is involved in many dealings and expansions and rival clans hoping to take over Kamurocho or others behind the scenes hoping to profit from the clan wars. As Kamurocho is his hometown, he finds himself returning again and again, answering its call when he's needed most.

Crosspedia Entry[]

A former member of the Tojo Clan, a criminal organization based in Kamurocho, Tokyo. He has a tattoo of a dragon on his back and his been called the "Dragon of Dojima".

Although nominally he's a "tough guy", his strong sense of duty leads some to judge him as an easy mark. Still, his rugged masculinity and fighting strength have also won him many fans, and he is one of the most charismatic residents of Kamurocho.

An orphan, Kazuma was raised in the Sunflower Orphange. It was there he started down the criminal path. After taking the rap for a murder perpetrated by his childhood friend Akira Nishikiyama, Kazuma spent 10 years in prison. He was released only to find the Tojo Clan in chaos. After a chance meeting with Haruka, the "10 Billion Yen Girl", he too was pulled into the conflict.

Once the crisis was resolved, Kazuma found himself with the title of Chairman of the Tojo Clan, but he immediately relinquished the position and left to establish the Morning Glory Orphanage in Okinawa, where he now raises a group of orphans.

Gameplay[]

Kiryu uses many of his fighting styles he learned throughout the series, but also uses a variety of firearms including the Anti-Materiel Rifle from Yakuza Dead Souls. He is partnered with his rival Goro Majima from the same series.
