The first trailer for Like a Dragon: Yakuza is here, and it's a slick, stylish trip through Japaꦫn's criminal underworld.

Based on the crime video game series by RGG Studio, Like a Dragon: Yakuza's Kiryu will be played by Ryoma Takeuchi (Kamen Rider Drive), who had already shown off the character's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:back tattoo before.

Joining him on his odyssey through the Kamurocho underworld is Akira Nishikiyama. The SDCC panel re꧑vealed that Kiryu's brother-in-arms will be portrayed by Kento Kaku.

The Prime Video series, judging by the logline, appears to at least partially adapt the events of the first Yakuza game. It reads: "Spanning across 1995 and 2005, the series follows the lives of childhood friends, and the repercussions of the decisions of Kazuma Kiryu, a fears🌸ome and peerless Yakuza warrior with a strong sense of justice, duty, and humanity."

The Yakuza game series, which began🎉 in 2005 and has spawned over half a dozen mainline entries and several spin-offs,✤ stars Kazama Kiryu as the hard-hitting arbiter of justice in the slimy underbelly of the fictional district of Kamurocho. A new main character, the lovable Ichiban Kasuga, was introduced with 2020's Like a Dragon, which flipped the series' beat-'em-up mechanics into a turn-based RPG-style combat system.

The first three episodes of Like a Dragon: Yakuza will premiere on Prime Video on October 24. For more, check out the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SDCC 2024 schedule and the ongoing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SDCC 2024 live blog.
