In Yakuza: Like a Dragon, players take on the role of Ichiban Kasuga (portrayed by Kaiji Tang), a rough around the edges member of the yakuza who is on the hunt for the truth after being betrayed by his clan after voluntarily serving an 18-year prison sentence for a crime he did not commit in order to protect his patriarch and father-figure, Masumi Arakawa (portrayed by George Takei). Along the way, Ichiban meets a rag-tag cast of characters including rogue cop Adachi (played by Andrew Morgado), ex-nurse Nanba (portrayed by Greg Chun) and Saeko (portrayed by Elizabeth Maxwell), a hostess on a mission. Together, Ichiban and his crew must rise together to become the heroes they never anticipated becoming.

As Ichiban, players will battle their way through the city of Yokohama with an all-new turn-based RPG combat system for some truly amazing fights. Zany mini-games can also be experienced around the city, including kart racing, batting cages, arcades and karaoke.
