Is Omi Alliance Real?
The Omi Alliance (近江連合, Ōmi Rengō) is a yakuza group based in Osaka, of western Japan. It is the largest yakuza group in Japan, surpassing the eastern/Kanto-based Tojo Clan (which the Omi often clashes with) by several thousand members. As of 2006, the Alliance has as many as 35,000 men and 120 families.
The Tojo Clan (東城会, Tōjō-kai) is a yakuza group based in Kanto, of eastern Japan. It is the second largest yakuza group in the country, only second to the Omi Alliance (which the Tojo often clashes with) based in western Japan.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon: 2017-2019
He comes up with a plan alongside Daigo Dojima to dissolve both the Tojo Clan and the Omi Alliance due to strong anti-yakuza laws putting the future of the yakuza in doubt, but is sent to prison in 2017 due to one of his subordinates resisting police harrassment.
Shimano started out his career in the Tojo Clan as a member of the Dojima Family, rising to the rank of lieutenant during the late 1970's. Within the Dojima Family, Shimano was frequently at odds with his fellow lieutenant, Shintaro Kazama.
The Shimano Family (嶋野組, Shimano-gumi) is a yakuza organization featured in Yakuza/Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza 0. They are a subsidiary of the Tojo Clan.
You should be more than capable of tackling it with a team around Lv. 32-35 and can expect to gain roughly 10 levels through completion.) Once you're confident in your party's level, jump in a taxi and head to the Omi Alliance HQ.
Kazuma Kiryu (Japanese: 桐生 一馬, Hepburn: Kiryū Kazuma) is a fictional character and the protagonist of Sega's action-adventure beat'em'up Japanese role-playing game series Yakuza.
2/15 Kazuma Kiryu
The Dragon of Dojima comes in as the second strongest member of the Tojo Clan due to his almost unmatched combat ability.
Now 31, Majima initially appears in the alley behind Serena to find one of his own family members sprawled out on the ground with Kazuma Kiryu standing over him.
Haruka likely knows Kiryu is alive. That fixes everything wrong with the ending. The Daigo thing was weird, though. I doubt she knows, but I hope she does or Date tells her the truth one day.
Is Ichiban a yakuza?
Within the series, Ichiban is originally a low-ranking member of the Arakawa Family, a subsidiary yakuza family of the Kanto-based Tojo Clan.
Yakuza movie star Tsunehiko Watase, also known for playing a key role in the legendary TV drama “Oshin,” died at a hospital in Tokyo on Tuesday, his office said Thursday. He was 72.
Majima's character is explored in more detail during the prequel Yakuza 0, in which he is a 24-year-old former Yakuza and a playable protagonist along with Kiryu.
Sega cited that it seemed that Majima's popularity was due to him acting as a comic relief character who added some much-loved humor to the series. Regardless of the reason why he was voted top, Majima is the king of the Yakuza cast.
In this game, having played only this game and having no prior knowledge of all the other games in the series, Majima is stronger than Kiryu by far and away. At the end his feats were much more impressive since he was up against the scariest opponents in the game.
The Japanese artist Majima Ryoichi (b. 1947) studied art in California. His "Neo-pop" prints are imaginative and irreverent examples of "East meets West," rendered in a vivid palette.

Yayoi is remarkably youthful looking in her late 40's. She has the appearance of a traditional Japanese woman, wearing a kimono and donning a shimada (geisha) hairstyle.
When you approach Millennium Tower, it will prompt you one last time to make sure you're ready to go. Again, this is the point of no return for Yakuza: Like a Dragon and once you enter Millennium Tower there's no going back. Most of the enemies you'll face are in the high Lv.
For the Rennala fight, we recommend upgrading your weapon to +7/+8, and level up your character to 40-45.

Yakuza 8, now officially titled Like a Dragon 8, will be released in early 2024 and will unexpectedly feature a return for original series hero Kazuma Kiryu.
Ultimately, Kuze does not rejoin the Tojo Clan and presumably continues to live on as a civilian.
Kiryu is weak to ice attacks in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. This could be due to either dragons being weak to ice moves(due to their cold blood) or because the core mechanic is referred to as heat, with Kiryu becoming weaker when it 'cools down'.
1/15 Kiryu Kazuma
He is the most iconic character not only because he's the protagonist, but also the coolest guy ever. Even as a Yakuza, he has a strict moral code.
- 7/7 Ryuji Goda.
- 6/7 Daisaku Kuze.
- 5/7 Keiji Shibusawa.
- 4/7 Takumi Someya.
- 3/7 Tsuneo Iwami.
- 2/7 Yosh*taka Mine.
- 1/7 Akira Nishikiyama.
Conversation. (Y5 spoilers) Watching a few cats on Yakuza Tumblr being salty that the canonical date of Majima's marriage to Mirei Park is 1992, after Y0, before Y1. I guess it's rough that he puts on his Y4 goblin shirt after clearly donning his trademark jacket at the end of 0?
During the short year that the two were married, Park learned that she was pregnant with Majima's child, and aborted before telling him about it, believing it a necessary sacrifice for her career. Majima, feeling betrayed by his wife, hit her.
5/12 Scorpio – Goro Majima.
"Kiryu held this pure love for Yumi Sawamura, but because of Nishikiyama he probably never made any strong advances on Yumi," Yokoyama says. "Neither Kiryu nor Nishikiyama laid a hand on Yumi until they were 27." Then Kiryu winds up in jail for the murder of Sohei Dojima, which complicates things with Yumi further.
Will Kiryu ever be protagonist again?
The next mainline Yakuza game, Like a Dragon 8, will be released in 2024 and will feature the return of Kazuma Kiryu as one of two protagonists, alongside Yakuza: Like a Dragon's Ichiban Kasuga. Kiryu will also star in a spinoff game to be released in 2023 called Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.
Haruto Sawamura (澤村 遥勇, Sawamura Haruto) is a character in Yakuza 6. He is the son of Haruka Sawamura and Yuta Usami.
The Yakuza is populated almost entirely by men and the very few women who are acknowledged are the wives of bosses, who are referred to by the title ane-san (姐さん, older sister).
yakuza, also called bōryokudan or gokudō, Japanese gangsters, members of what are formally called bōryokudan (“violence groups”), or Mafia-like criminal organizations.
The yakuza are criminals. They are a gang that commits many illegal activities, partly because they are allowed to do so. It is interesting to note that yakuza offices are out in the public. This helps them mark their territory and no doubt is an ego boost for the local bosses.
Intergenerational Friendship: Eri and Saeko (early to mid 20's), Han (33), and Zhao (late 20's to early 30's) are close friends with Ichiban (42), Nanba (41), and Adachi (59).
At the time of Yakuza 0, Kiryu is 20 years old and is working as a debt collector for the Dojima Family. The main plot of the game is triggered by the murder of a man in the Empty Lot.
Eri's birthday falls on the same day as that of her real-life counterpart, April 7th, 1995, making her twenty-four years old during the events of Like a Dragon. Her height is listed as 5'57".
The Majima family name was found in the USA in 1920. In 1920 there was 1 Majima family living in Washington. This was 100% of all the recorded Majima's in USA. Washington had the highest population of Majima families in 1920.
4/10 He Changed His Hair Color
There's no super deep symbolism behind this one, but Majima's hair is actually dyed brown in the Yakuza games that take place later on.
Does Majima have brother?
He appears in flashbacks in Yakuza 0 and is a supporting character in Yakuza 6 and Yakuza: Like a Dragon. He is the sworn brother of Goro Majima.
Makoto doesn't recognize Majima's face, and he refuses to speak aloud in case she is able to recognize his voice. Majima did this so that Makoto wouldn't come looking for him, thus placing herself in danger. Her friend returns with Tateyama, Makoto's doctor who has been helping her to regain her vision.
After being used as a tool for so long, Majima decides he doesn't want to fall into the same game again and decides living life as mad as he can is the best way for that.
Goro Majima from Yakuza is a himbo!
Type of Villain
He is a playable protagonist in Yakuza 0, a major antagonist in its sequel Yakuza and its remake Yakuza Kiwami, the main protagonist of the Majima Saga in Yakuza Kiwami 2, and a recurring supporting anti-heroic protagonist for the rest of the series.
Kazuma Kiryu (桐生 一馬) is the protagonist of the Yakuza (Ryū ga Gotoku) video game series published by Sega. He serves as a main protagonist and playable character in Yakuza and it's remake Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza 2 and it's remake Yakuza Kiwami 2, Yakuza 3 and Yakuza 6.
He changed because of his interactions with people around him during Yakuza 0 like Nish*tani and Makoto. Nish*tani acted all crazy but really he was a serious person. Its possible that Majima saw that and thought that acting that way had its advantages so he decided to adopt the persona for himself.
The members are organized into hundreds of gangs, most of them affiliated under the umbrella of one of some 20 conglomerate gangs. The largest conglomerate is the Yamaguchi-gumi, founded about 1915 by Yamaguchi Harukichi but fully developed and aggrandized only after World War II by Taoka Kazuo.
The Yakuza are still very active, and although Yakuza membership has declined since the implementation of the Anti-Boryokudan Act in 1992, there are still approximately 12,300 active Yakuza members in Japan as of 2021, although it is possible that they are a lot more active than statistics say.
On December of that year, the Nishikiyama Family kickstarted a civil war within the Tojo Clan by disclosing the theft of the Tojo's 10 billion yen reserves from Toto Bank to the Clan's patriarchs and by assassinating the Clan's Third Chairman, Masaru Sera.
Who is the leader of all yakuza?
Kenichi Shinoda (篠田 建市, Shinoda Ken'ichi, born January 25, 1942), also known as Shinobu Tsukasa (司 忍, Tsukasa Shinobu), is a Japanese Yakuza, the sixth and current kumicho (supreme kingpin, or chairman) of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Japan's largest yakuza organization.
Former crime syndicate members are struggling to find jobs after putting the yakuza world behind them. In the decade ending in 2020, some 5,900 people were able to leave crime syndicates with the help of police and others, but only 3.5% of them went on to find work.
The Yamaguchi-gumi is the largest yakuza family, with about 8,200 members. The Sumiyoshi-kai is the second-largest yakuza family, with 4,200 members. Sumiyoshi-kai is a confederation of smaller yakuza groups.
Early Roots. The yakuza originated during the Tokugawa Shogunate (1603 - 1868) with two separate groups of outcasts. The first of those groups were the tekiya, wandering peddlers who traveled from village to village, selling low-quality goods at festivals and markets.
The Genovese family is the oldest and the largest of the "Five Families".
The yakuza mainly make their living through unlawful b usinesses, such as gambling, drugs, prostitution and loan-sharking. Most of the money comes from gambling, most often from dice games.
Characters use strong profanity throughout dialogue, and there are frequent moments where players go into bars and drink heavily, their drunkenness indicated by an onscreen icon.
Yes, they do. Although they have fewer members each year, there are still active Yakuza organizations throughout Japan. In recent years, the Japanese government and police have been cracking down heavily on the Yakuza, dissuading them from carrying out criminal activities.
"The numbers show a yakuza population that is dwindling, desperate and ignoring the unstated social contract that allowed them to exist in Japanese society." "Yakuza without a code of ethics are just garishly tattooed criminals."
Nishikiyama himself is not seen again until the end of the game, where Kiryu and Nishikiyama engage in their final battle. In the end, Kiryu is victorious, but was nearly killed by Kyohei Jingu. At last, Nishiki decides to be the man that Kiryu once knew by stabbing Jingu, before both he and Jingu died.
Is Nishikiyama a villain?
Yakuza Kiwami delivers something extraordinary in its main villain, Nishikiyama. He is not a 2D enemy who has been propped up as something for the main character to overcome. Instead, he is one of the most compelling villains in all of video games.
Aizawa has 3 heal phases, each weaker than the last, to supplement his 9 health bars.
