They grew up together at the same orphanage, along with Yumi, and joined the Tojo clan together to follow in the footsteps of Shintaro Kazama, their adoptive father and Captain of the Dojima Family. In Y0, Nishi and Kazuma were two peas in a pod. While all this is happening, Nishikiyama is losing his goddamn mind. Throughout YK1, Kazuma also teams up with Tokyo police detective Makoto Date, the cop originally assigned to Kiryu's murder and who eventually becomes one of Kazuma's closest friends. After Yumi's death at the hands of Haruka's father, Jingu (and the person responsible for the money heist in the first place), Kazuma takes the girl under his wing. Lt's during this mad scramble for fortune that Kazuma meets and befriends a young girl, Haruka, who turns out to be the daughter of Yumi Sawamura, Kazuma's childhood friend and love interest. Unfortunately, as soon as he gets back into town, someone up and steals the Tojo Clan's 10-billion-yen cash stash, setting up a civil war within the clan as various factions vie to find the missing money first and use it as leverage to appoint the clan's next leader. After being sentenced to a decade in prison for a murder committed by his best friend and sworn brother Akira Nishikiyama, Kazuma returns to Tokyo to restart his life. I will, however, be making plot references to the preceding reboots, Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami 1, so if you haven't played them yet, here's fair warning.įor those of you unfamiliar with the series, the Yakuza franchise follows the exploits of Kazuma as he first attempts to climb the power structure of Tokyo's Tojo Clan in the early 1980s. This review will not contain spoilers for YK2 after the game's fourth chapter (you'll have to wait for the game to drop on August 28th for those).
