#also kiryu 👍

[chainreh]

they halfbaked every single infinite wealth villain so they could put all their energy into cooking with the gaiden villains‼️

[skrunksthatwunk]

^^ good addition!! but it made me wanna explain my thought process a little (nonsense rambling at idk 11am-ish incoming): realistically, yes! this is all true (to my understanding) and part of what i had in mind. my intention w this one was to have a series of little comedic social hiccups and misunderstandings, and i didn't want to make goromi's transness one of them (and especially given the "you really know how to pick em" line/vibes of nishiki's whole perspective here, i wanted that to be focused on her also being yakuza rather than her being trans/gnc and thought having him bring it up could read as gross). i thought it'd be nice to have a situation where it's pretty implied that a character is trans and where characters don't bat an eye (trans ppl have enough dating anxiety, y'know?), and particularly for such a short and comedy-centric thing i didn't wanna get into explanations/explorations of that. but yes, nishiki eyebrow raise.png like oh THATS why this hasn't been working (either in that his type is gnc scary yakuza women or fully just men depending on whether you read goromi as A Woman For Real or a drag persona). (it's also why she thinks of sagawa and says no initially, because she thinks she's been found out/fears this could get back to him). but i mean we know kiryu's always had trouble relating to/relaxing around women and that goromi is easier (as stated in the game's encounter itself). it could be that within the encounter it's more about their prior relationship, but here maybe goromi being evidently yakuza kinda helps bridge that gap a little by giving them some things in common, especially BECAUSE the yakuza's such a hypermasculine environment that his exposure to women is relatively limited. anyway a lotta this was supposed to be subtextual in my brain, but i get that it mighta been TOO subtextual to come across right. so basically yeah you and me are sharing brainwaves (omg!! same wavelength!!!) i just didn't make that clear lol

nishiki takes kiryu to the disco to pick up Hot Singles In Their Area and kiryu FINALLY takes an interest in someone. guess who it is lol

(click for better quality bc DAMN they got crunched)

OMGGGGG OLEASE WHERE DID THE KIRYU TATTOO LIGHTER COME FROM OMFG

it's official merch for y8 that was on preorder on ebten since last december if I recall but by now sold out. you can still find some via 3rd party sellers on jp marketplaces and ebay 👍 there is also an ichiban variant.

if anyone is interested in this, I rec ebay for this one - sellers there are more versed in selling things that are harder to ship such as lighters or flammable fluids like perfume internationally. in this case, they will disassemble the lighter so it's legal to ship.

*note: ebay also has many lighters that are NOT the official ones. the official one is zippo brand and only features the dragon. if a listing is cheap, it ain't the official one

if you must go proxy, I used fromjapan as they were able to dismantle the lighter upon request. but be sure to also request to dispose of the inner lighter components (flint and all that) so it's just the metal case left.

in any choice, ebay or otherwise, you would have to repurchase new lighter parts if you wanted it to be functional

[mindrell]

So I watched first two episodes of the Amazon Prime series they made of the yakuza series and I have some thoughts;

I feel like lot of people already had not so great expectations of it upon learning how it differs from the source material (can you really blame them when it comes to the adaptions based on videogames though?), I actually like it so far, but I can't but wonder if this was necessary?

Like I haven't watched many Yakuza movies so I can't comment on how unique or interesting of the plot is compared to your usual Japanese gangster movies, but like I wish we could get something else for a change. Don't get me wrong, I love Kiryu and his story, how it starts and his relationship with Nishkiyama, Haruka and the Yakuza itself but if you're making a series based on the games' characters, why not choose the ones we didn't get to see that much? I would love to see how Kazama got where he is or Sera, hell, show me young Kazama and Kashiwagi, how he got his scar and their struggles with climbing up the ladder! Even the people who played the games wouldn't be familiar with the story, it would he brand new and so both new comers and already existing fans could dive into it.

That been said I do really like how Nishki and Kiryu become Yakuza to pay off the debt, Kazama seems like a better dad figure here since he seems like he's actually trying to shield them from joining the organisation. It's been a while since I played Yakuza 0 but from what I remember he kinda resists but let's them in the family anyway like... did you try ?? Girlypop wtf they are dumb young people, ofcourse they are going to glamourise that sort of thing.

In the first episode I feel like I could barely see what was going on in the heist scene but other than that I think the sets are really cool, lots of blood and punching sounds very cool. 👍 The fight after Kiryu gets out of the prison seems but rehearsed (so nice of them to wait for Kiryu to finish beating up their friend before they attack lol) but then again I'm not fight choreographer so, maybe it was actually good and I just don't understand it lol

I really like the idea of Yumi and Miho joining them in Kamurocho, since my biggest gripe in the games were that we are kinda just told that Yumi is Kiryus true love but we never see girlie do anything. I'm sorry it's hard to care for her because we never get to see their relationship properly, I don't know this girl??? They are in love with her I guess cool. So I hope we get to see them in the upcoming episodes 🙏

I also liked them having their little messy home together, it really feels like it's their little taste of freedom before things go south for them.

I wish they had casted someone properly smelly looking middle aged man to play Date, he kinda got yassified imo.

When they mentioned Majima and Taiga I just went "!!!", I would love seeing Saejima somewhere else than just prison. But I wonder how it will affect Majima as a character, since one thing that made him truly tragic is that he had lost everything... But obviously if Taiga is here, then how did things end up going in this version of the story? Now I'm realising I didnt look properly whether Majima has two eyes in the Amazon Prime series but if he doesn't, how would he lose his other eye in this version..?

I like that they didn't just delete Haruka. I hope they handle her well.

I feel like I'm forgetting something I wanted to mention but this is a lot of text already so, if you read this all: I'm very glad and im going to give you big smoochie, we are holding hands now yay ��

Romy Reads: Wind Breaker

Spoilers for wind breaker chapters 101 through 110 below 👍

< prev | next >

Suo being the strategist is cool! It fits him. Also sakura and sugishita fight so well together but they still hate each other 😭

The disgust on their faces...

-

Ooh we're going to see furins other Kings fight now against old rivals it looks like...it'll be neat to see more from these guys

-

So these Noroshi are ten former furin guys working with endos gang...the top dogs so to speak...and also look at this emo ass lookin boy.

Man looks like his fav anime is death note idk

-

Flashback to sakura being cute again

Me 🤝 umemiya 🤝 tsubaki: thinking sakura is precious

-

Nirei pulling through to help kiryu while suo is having a 1 v 1! Look at my boy!

And suo's proud smile!

-

SAKURA AND SUGISHITA TEAMWORK!! Sakura holding that guy back so sugishita could finish him off! I like how he (sakura) has adapted to fighting with a team, so instead of focusing on himself he becomes not only aware of his surroundings but also of his teammates strengths and weaknesses and how to use them!

-

Holy shit kiryus face is terrifying here after nirei got hit..

-

NIREI WOO

I love that he keeps getting back up...even if he still isn't a great fighter and he doesnt magically become great overnight he shows a lot of courage. (And imo I like how he's still not a super great fighter, it feels more realistic)

-

Suo is so sassy and mocking and I love that for him

[zaddyazula]

gimme yakuza propaganda so i can see if i wanna peep it

🫡🫡🫡

well there are currently 9/11 main line games (i shall explain) and all of them are available on modern consoles (a lot of them came out on ps3 or ps4 originally).

there are two remakes, one for yakuza 1 (a ps2 game) and one for yakuza 2 (another ps2 game), called yakuza kiwami and yakuza kiwami 2. they are actually pretty good remakes from what i’ve seen, but i haven’t played the original two. this is why i said 9/11 main line games.

the total order goes (chronologically):

yakuza 0

yakuza (kiwami) 1

yakuza (kiwami) 2

yakuza 3

yakuza 4

yakuza 5

yakuza 6

yakuza 7/like a dragon

yakuza lad gaiden (the one that just came out)

they are all classic fighting games until 7, which is turn-based, i am still raging about that. gaiden isn’t though. also as you asked me about a while ago now, the guy with the spiky hair is the protagonist of 7 and he will be for 8, which is coming out january next year.

the main protagonist (table slam guy) is the or one of the protagonists in every other game (0 has two, 4 has 4, and 5 has 5).

women are written decently well, a lot, lot better than mgs, though there is about two main characters who are women per game 😭😭😭😭😭😭 not one of its strongest points but they all have clothes on!! the bare minimum we love to see it. (i will just say there is actually a fat woman who is a main-ish side character in 4, who is done pretty well!!! so hurrah!!!!)

characters are extremely well written and the writing is good for the most part, there are a couple of moments in earlier games (more 3,4 and 5) where you’re sort of shocked by how ridiculous it is, but it works decently well. i prefer the first couple of games, and then the 6+. there are a few spin-offs available in the west, being dead souls (zombie game), which is ps3 only, and lad:ishin, which is set in the 1860s (and a couple more others but i can’t think). the table slam man (kiryu) has actually started to remind me a lot of snake, and the series�� stories are actually quite similar.

talking about kiryu, he respects women!!! to the point where he refuses to ever hurt a woman, and has on many occasions beat someone up for hurting a woman. not to say he doesn’t have weird-ish female relationships, but they’re overall quite sweet and last for the game, and are then never touched upon again. they’re nowhere near a meryl-snake level catastrophe.

the games themselves aren’t too long for the most part, the longest i found being 5 (30 hours) and 7 (39 hours), but that’s including all the time fucking around doing karaoke or other things. 0 took me about 28 hours; kiwami 1 took about 22 hours (i think); kiwami 2 took me about 26 hours; 3 took 16 hours; 4 took 23 hours; 6 took 21 hours, and gaiden took 11 (it’s a lot shorter).

going back to karaoke - the amount of optional shit you can do is crazy. substories are probably the biggest thing with this, some of them being decently long and others being pretty short. they are usually quite fun and can give you a break from the story (which can at times be miserable). karaoke is probably my favourite mini-game in the series. you basically just press buttons with the right timing and it is ridiculously fun and silly. other mini-games are available, such as pool, bowling (in the earlier games), fishing, claw-machines, arcade games, DISCO (in 0 but it’s class), darts and probably some others but i can’t remember. the story can get a bit depressing, but it’s balanced out by the silliness the games also have, and surprisingly it works? in mgs, it sort of half works, you’ve got a monkey who smokes cigarettes and drinks coke and then the world is falling apart. war had changed. snake is old and dying and he cannot escape the world yet. and then johnny shits himself. comedy 👍 but with yakuza, the two different sides work together really well, especially in 0, and it ends up making sense eventually.

i think that’s it you have been yakuzer-propagandad!!!!

[sunlightfeeling]

so..... how did you get into smap, anyway? (i would like to hear the origin story)

hiii anon! i would love to tell this story!!

first the elevator pitch version:

like a lot of more recent fans (i.e. post-JE launch), i was a victim (affectionate) of the RGG to SMAP pipeline

…bit of a boring story, and honestly isn’t a real indication of how I got to have this brain (affectionate, i love having five old men stewing in my brain all hours of the day 👍😬)

sooo im going to tell the story of how the pipeline hit me so hard 😄

the real origin goes back to 2021…

(im gonna make a cut for this story because this is gonna be long long - i promise this isn’t an exaggeration)

so back in 2021, i had an xbox one and game pass (side note: game pass is so worth it, actually fantastic)

and I found a series that I had never heard of…Yakuza

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hX9EomZwntU

sorry

anyway

downloaded Yakuza 0 and started it up

really dug the vibes, story, music, legitimately everything

then I reached Majima’s first chapter and ooooh the opening got me good

not too long after getting to this chapter, I was graciously gifted a ps5

and one of the first things i did was…

…impulsively buy every Yakuza release on ps4

…and the Judgments as soon as I realized they were under RGG’s umbrella

…after only playing like probably less than 10 hours of a prequel

(disclaimer: i do not mean to romanticize/minimize impulse purchasing; I’m more trying to give an accurate image of how deeply invested I got in a series that essentially sent me on my path; i was/am very fortunate and cognizant of how lucky i am to be able to cover/shield myself from consequences of my actions - so to speak lol)

probably six-ish months and 2 hiatuses later, I reached Y6

and i dont know if it was because the game was the last Kiryu game (at the time) and I was getting all emotional, or if it was because the likeness to Kuroda was pretty…

<stares at pictures of Y6 Kiryu way too long>

…preeeetty 🫠

i started developing (what knowing what i know now call) a hyperfixation on not just Y6 but also Kuroda Takaya lol

basically listened to his music whenever I could/on repeat; Y6 was the only thing I wanted to spend my free time playing; etc etc etc

(for reasons, this fixation actually led me to consider my possible neurodivergence; I wonder why 🤔..🥲)

finish Y6 and become baseline-which-isnt-really-baseline normal about Yakuza when I play LAD7

but then….

“Alex, stop hyperlinking sound effects”

(affectionate)

yeahhh it’s Judgey Time

okay so ive mentioned in tags somewhere but i actually didnt have high hopes for Judgment

at all

the cover just didn’t do anything for me at all…

…and i thought the protagonist was ugly 💀

(im actually genuinely serious, this isn’t me “not like the other girls”ing; i vividly recall looking at the cover when it was about time for me to start playing it and whining to my then-bf that I wasn’t sure I was gonna like it cuz the guy looks really weird 🤣)

but i booted it up and right when Yagami shows off his badge in the prologue

girl

giiiiiirl

I didn’t realize at the time but the seed had been planted and baby that beanstalk grew

Halloween 2022 (and I only know this date for a fact because I memorialized it texting then-bf about it) is the day I decided to look up who this guy really was

I can’t recall what made me finally look him up, whether lurking on the Yakuza subreddit or just something in the game, I dunno

i shared it once but I’ll share it anytime i can…

^^ this was my first Kimura photo

the first one I actually paid more than just a passing glance at anyway……

…i finished judgment in like two/three weeks [and not in a rushed playthrough by any means - getting all the cats, doing all the side cases/romance, etc.] (have a text trail of me going into the finale and date stamp is p exactly two weeks from Halloween 🥲)

started lost judgment immediately because i have texts days after this bitching about dropping money on the dlc before even starting it lol (again: not recommending/romanticizing; just giving perspective on how active my brain was about RGG/Kimura already)

now this…..this is where my timeline gets fuzzy

because i cant really remember how fast i beat lj before starting his dramas

or if maybe i started them before even finishing the game

skipping ahead to January 2023 and I’ve definitely wrapped lj by this point

and have watched a fair amount of kimura dramas (i genuinely cant give a number tho 😭)

around this point, ive determined that im fairly confident in being audhd

and i personally would have described kimura as a combined special interest-hyperfixation at this point (because the intensity would ebb and flow in a way)

started collecting things, starting with his albums and his live recordings (and eventually a lot lot more [I’ll get back to scanning consistently eventually I promise lol])

the defining moment to when I finally crossed from Kimura to SMAP…

…was actually watching Go with the Flow

I had heard bits of SMAP, but, as many unfortunately discover, accessibility to their music is…..well it’s just not there lol

I even got YouTube Music because I found playlists of SMAP performances and could just listen to them while I was working or driving

not that I could really hear them all that well since they were all live performances w screaming or muffled audio/crunchy audio/remixes/etc etc etc

(except for pams seigi shoutout to pams seigi [sorry goro 😔; also i linked that specific one for the tags but please look in the reblogs for a diff version of seigi that they did because it’s ridiculously good])

On Go with the Flow, Kimura performs “Style” which made me go on basically a witch-hunt to find the song since it wasn’t an album track and I didn’t know SMAP’s discography

Eventually found out it was SMAP (Kimura solo on s.m.a.p specifically) and decided that I actually really needed to listen to SMAP

aaaaaand I did ☺️

and then I found Jes yeah no I definitely didn’t

and…that is my SMAP origin story

[deepeststrawberrymoon]

strawberry what are your opinions on the units other than fine 💥

good question!

Most of the lore I know is from the anime lol

here's my rating of all their unit costumes or uniforms or whatever they're called:

I'm sorry, I really hate Trickstar's uniforms 😭😭😭😭

Now, let me rate all of the characters in the units:

Valkyrie: Mika's cool, I don't really like Shu so far :( the uniforms are soo cool though

Eden: Hiyori looks cool I guess 👍 I don't know the others' names sksjdjsj Nagisa, Jun(?) and maybe something beginning with I? Ibara? I keep thinking Isara, but I know he's the guy from Trickstar, anyway, I don't know a lot about Eden, I like their uniforms

2wink: my silly little guys, I love em <3 they are so joyous and fun, and also I randomly got a 5 star Hinata card the other day so I might be biased shskdjsj (also why are they called 2wink????? 😭😭😭)

Akatsuki: Keito and Kiryu are cool, Souma is so blorbo <3 I like their uniforms but it unnerves me how there's no sleeves

Knights: 💥💥💥💥 you've told me stuff about Leo before but he's not in the anime so idk that much about him tbh 😭😭 Izumi's kind of an asshole so far but his design is cool so I'll let him get away with it, Arashi and Ritsu are so cute, I love em <3

Ryuseitai (I hope I spelt that properly): they're so funny omg 😭😭 they're like power rangers meets sailor moon 😭 the red guy (I want to say Chiaki?) gives off such "positive older student in a sports anime" vibes lol, Shinobu is so cute I like how he's a ninja, Kanata is just... wow 💖💖💖, Midori is so 🥺🥺🥺, I genuinely forget the last guy's name 😭 I kept mixing him up with the red guy, but he seems cool as well <3

Madara(?) don't know anything about him except that he makes the others call him "mama"? ok. seems cool though ig, I like his hair and his cowboy aesthetic

Alkaloid: Aira and Hiiro are cool, I really like Tatsumi (this is gonna sound weird but I'm probably biased because he's Catholic or something 😭), and Mayoi looks really cute but I haven't met him in the main story yet so idk much <333

Undead: Rei is cool ig, Koga reminds me of Sanemi kny, no opinion on Kaoru, Adonis seems more normal than the rest of them and I love him for that <3

Ra*bits: Nazuna Nazuna my wife Nazuna love love love 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖, Tomoya, Hajime and...... Mitsuru(????) are cute, I like how the last guy was eating popcorn instead of watching Trickstar perform in that one episode

Crazy:B : no opinion on Rinne or Himeru, sorry </3 Kohaku is cool, I like how he's an assassin or something, Niki is soo pretty I like his hair

Switch: Tsumugi is so babygirl <3 Natsume(?) is really cool I like the occult stuff, don't know anything about Sora so no opinion </3

Trickstar: 😬😬😬 I hate their uniforms so much, I'm sorry 😭😭😭 Subaru is like Hinata from Haikyuu but not as likeable, Hokuto is just there ig, Makoto or Yuuki or whatever is also just there, Mao is so slay I love Mao 💖💖💖💖💖

[vinsbicoart]

I finished recently Yakuza Kiwami 2 and it was so good. I loved the new characters on here, Sayama is my fav and it was hilarious getting to known Nishida, poor guy hgshshsgs. And I love seeing recurring characters, Yuya is my fav in that category <3 The story was really good too, a lot of more interesting and complex than in Y1. In 1 the story is more personal really, so I get it (also being the first game and all) and in 2 they expand a lot more, it's a really nice change and feels a lot more similar to what I saw in 0, I guess 2 was the one that really defined how the rest of the games would go.

The change between 1 and 2 is crazy. Idk what happened between games but it was a great change, both in the main story and the sub-quests (especially on those, they get a lot more fun and with more personallity on 2) I still have to play from 3 to 6 but at least I see how this serie was more defined with 2. The only thing I didn't like from Kiwami 2 was the fighting, it felt super weird after playing 0 and 1, a lot less fluid I guess? But fun still. Also Kiryu's model felt super weird? Like, they took away the shine in his eyes and his face felt completely different, it was difficult to get used to it at first. But yeah, I loved it👍 I can't wait to continue with 3

[raymend]

i love that kiryu doesnt even go by a pseudonym in y6 he just expects people not to recognize him like Yes my name is Kiryu Kazuma haha its just a coincidence that i share my name with the dragon of dojima the legendary yakuza And its also just a coincidence that i am insanely strong But im a civilian Guys. its ok. and 90% of the guys in hiroshima are like Yeah okay 😃👍

[stunie]

OMG ZEVIR ZEVIE ZEVIIEE I love u for coupling me w kiryu- that was a master move tbh..

AND ALSO I'd love being an emoji anon but I can't choose between [🩷👍🕷🔫] && [🎀]

... choices, but anyway please take good care of yourself !! ♡

LETS DO BOTH AND YOU CAN DECIDE WHICH ONE LOOKS CUTER!!

ALSO. good morning and hi to you my pink nonnie !!! omg … i just had to with kiryu ….. the pairing is too cute for words. i hope you’re doing awesome today !!! i will definitely take good care of myself for you >:^) <33

I need them to make a Kiwami of Yakuza 5 just to add Majima as a secret boss Haruka has to rythym battle against at the end of the game and if you beat him he takes off his feather headband and puts it onto Haruka's head, passing on the everyone's Idol title to her

[goro-majima-second-wife]

OH BOY!!!!

Name: Miyumi Satou (or Majima depending on the year) Nicknames: Oni of Yokohama, Mad Dog's wife, Majima's Hannya (2012 exclusive title)

Likely locations: Yokohama ( ??? - 1981 gang leader times), Sotenbori (1982 - '88 Hostessing, late 2019 - current Security Firm times), Kamurocho (2000 - early 2019 Bar tending/Odd jobs)

Active period(s): 1981 - present, different designs and jobs between each city change though (for the most part)

Role: Currently a receptionist for a security firm + secretary for Majima at said firm. Previously a bar owner, hostess, and gang leader. She also temporarily took control of Majima family in 2012 until someone proper could watch over while Majima was "dead". Games wise she's like any other NPC, you could visit her bar for a quick drink, or you could find her in the security firm and talk to her to get directions. Sometimes you could find her doing odd jobs like hostessing and you could interact with her that way. Yakuza 0 would have the most hostess Miyumi content ofc. She's done a bit of everything!

Likely first/quick impression: Stuck in the past, party-er, and quite the flirt. Tattoos?

More detailed impression: Glittery and low-cut bodycon dresses, pearls, and plenty of skin to show off. So much skin that, in some cases, she's showing off a lot more ink that it seems purposeful. She'd look like she came straight out of the bubble era with how she dresses. Ningyo is the name of the mercreature on her back, a koi on each arm. Turns out she is way older than she looks. Also waaaaaaay more into fighting than she looks. way too into fighting. Also she hates talking about what she did in the 90s. We don't talk about the 90s. Miyumi loves talking, but not about herself and her relationships if she can help it.

Likely scenarios: Cleaning whiskey glasses while in her bar, singing karaoke with her friends, orbiting around her husband, or just hanging around and enjoying the sights. Doing random jobs just to get some extra cash in her wallet, or she's off on the sidelines watching a brawl go down, or even in one herself. Unless it's '81, then she's riding around on her motorbike and fighting anyone she can see. She's also never seen without her metal bat, and probably covered head to toe in blood, mud, and any other grime.

Canon relationships:

Goro Majima mainly. Miyumi was hired to work at Club Sunshine when they first met, they then grew apart, but reconnected sometime between 2005-2006. Their relationship sprouted from there and they got married (on paper) while Goro was in hiding (anywhere between 2017-2019), the official wedding was in 2020 :)! It is to be said that she's a little too attached to him at times, esp post 2012. He's also one of the reasons

Members of Majima Family / Majima Construction. Miyumi used to visit the offices and come around the construction site from time to time just to visit :)! She also like to bring snacks for the guys

Kazuma Kiryu (kinda). They know of eachother, but never really talk (I like to think that he used to visit Miyumi's bar sometimes). She really wants to fight him.

Taiga Saejima. I doubt they talk to eachother much, but there is a mutual respect. She also really wants to fight him-

Homare Nishitani (the first one). They used to date back in the 80s :)

Habu. iykyk. 👍

What can you do: Do whatever, but probably don't kill her… I don't have a death planned for her yet- OH BUT SHE LOVES FIGHTING. Plenty of blood and bruises can do her good! It's enrichment for her 👍

More info about her can be found here! It's her blog!!!

Yakuza OC registry

The idea is to reblog this post and list your OC with just enough basic info so that others can easily name drop or reference them as an easter egg! feel free to also link any other more substantial informational posts you have; for this thread let's keep it nice and quick! I'll go first

Name: Kadokura Kenshi

Likely locations: Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka

Active period(s): 1970s+. Depends on AU. hes alive or dead whenever he needs to be

Role: powerful CEO of Sapporo-based arms company Rachi Heavy Industries. Has ties with yakuza, but more or less a reputable businessman.

Likely first/quick impression: smiling, sharply dressed businessman.

More detailed impression: very strong jawline, short wavy black hair, gregarious and friendly—in a way acts more American than Japanese. Expressive hands.

Likely scenarios: being polite to service workers/giving good tips, schmoozing with powerful people, speaking foreign languages, getting very intoxicated at clubs or parties, (rarely) serial killing a homeless person or someone else 'no one will miss.'

Canon relationships: friends with Sagawa and Andre Richardson. Close professional relationship with Kitakata Daizo. Ties with Jingweon before the massacre. Knows all the yakuza brass in both Tojo Clan and Omi Alliance. Koga Matsuhisa started out as an intern with Rachi Heavy Industries and they're friends now.

What can you do : no holds barred. kill him brutally if you want. i will laugh heartily.

[chainreh]

haruka sawamura for the like a dragon 8 party. you agree.

[azotho]

I didn't know the same VA did their voices😳‼️🎙️

Also Kiryu's VA did Risotto's voice in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven, what a nice surprising fact😄👍✨
