First look at Prime Video’s LIKE A DRAGON: YAKUZA live action series

Premiering on Prime Video October 24th

[demifiendrsa]

Amazon Prime Video has announced that it is producing a six-episode live-action series based on SEGA / Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's Like a Dragon (titled Ryū ga Gotoku in Japan and initially titled Yakuza in the West) game series titled Like a Dragon: Yakuza (Ryū ga Gotoku ~Beyond the Game~ in Japan). The episodes will debut on Amazon Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories in two batches on October 25, 2024 and November 1, 2024.

Overview

■ About

The series is a live-action adaptation with an original story based on SEGA’s global hit game franchise, Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Directed by the critically acclaimed Masaharu Take, the series will feature Ryoma Takeuchi as the lead character, Kazuma Kiryu. Like a Dragon: Yakuza is the latest addition to the Prime membership. Prime members in Japan enjoy savings, convenience, and entertainment, all in a single membership.

Released in 2005 by SEGA, the Yakuza game series was positioned as an entertaining game for adults, which found massive fanfare amongst its target audience. The series depicts the lives of fierce yet passionate gangsters and people living in a huge entertainment district, Kamurocho, a fictional district modeled after the violent Shinjuku ward’s Kabukichō, that acts as the backdrop of the gameplay. Like a Dragon: Yakuza showcases modern Japan and the dramatic stories of these intense characters, such as the legendary Kazuma Kiryu, that games in the past have not been able to explore. The much-loved game has captured the attention and hearts of fans not only in Japan but also internationally and will now be adapted, developed, and streamed worldwide on Prime Video.

In 1995 and 2005, spanning across two time-periods, Like a Dragon: Yakuza, an original crime-suspense-action series, follows the life, childhood friends, and repercussions of the decisions of Kazuma Kiryu, a fearsome and peerless Yakuza warrior with a strong sense of justice, duty, and humanity.

■ Cast and Staff Comments

Ryoma Takeuchi, Kazuma Kiryu Actor

“I am truly honored to be given the opportunity to play the role of Kazuma Kiryu, a beloved character and the game series. I strongly felt that I was willing to put my life on the line. Audience will enjoy the show’s human drama and conflict that unfolds around Kazuma Kiryu. Moreover, please take a look Kiryu’s intense fighting scenes with the Dragon tattoo on his back.”

Masaharu Take, Director

“I have poured out my heart, soul, and the experience that I have garnered over 35 years into Like a Dragon: Yakuza. The unbridled passion, talent, and countless hours of efforts from the entire team have helped bring this spectacular story to life in the form of a riveting series that will be launched this year, the year of the dragon. Please look forward to Kazuma Kiryu, played by Ryoma Takeuchi.”

James Farrell, Head of International Originals, Amazon MGM Studios

“We are thrilled and extremely excited to announce the Amazon Original action-drama Like a Dragon: Yakuza, based on the popular Japanese game series. The unfettered appeal for Japanese content from within Japan and other parts of the world has been growing exponentially. While Prime Video Japan continues to offer a variety of content across genres, adapting an internationally popular game franchise that has such deep resonance and layered characters presents a unique charm and makes for an extremely compelling watch. We are committed to augmenting our content library and are confident that Like a Dragon: Yakuza will strike a chord with audiences all over the world.”

Masayoshi Yokoyama, Producer and Studio Head, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio

“Since the day I first put pen to paper on the original Yakuza‘s script, I’ve never once thought about revisiting any of my work on the series. It’s because I understand all too well the challenges and hardships that come with remaking a finished title. However, if I were ever sent to the past through some kind of cosmic joke, this is the experience I’d want to create. If I had to go through the wringer anyhow, I’d want to make the most engaging versions of Kamurochō and Kazuma Kiryu I could—and this show has it all. There is no question that Prime Video’s Like a Dragon: Yakuza will become another landmark release for the Like a Dragon series. While the games let you experience their world through the subjective lens, this adaptation will be the ultimately objective way to enjoy the show. I have no doubt that fans of the series will be drawn to how it brings the games to life and adds new surprises. Newcomers, I’m sure will find themselves invested simply in the gritty realism of the show. If anything, I’d love to watch this version alongside audiences all around the world—experiencing all of its intensity and soaking in every single second.”

women love my philosophy. you kids jus don't have it yet, tch. i bet that's the reason why u on da streets!!..

el es sigma. tiene demonios internos. sonrie como itadori. escucha phonk. y canta como don pollo. el es el macho alfa.

ok my one mini dumb little hc of Tatsuya (kh1 - kh2) is that he firmly believes that by splashing himself in water is good enough to avoid/prevent building up acne or zits or whatev you guys call those, he doesnt even uses like soap or anything like that just water. and look at him, none of it it's really working but Tatsuya affirms that "It's a slow process. I mean, I am pretty sure I'll have a smooth face by tomorrow. You'll see." and it simply just worsens, not just his acne but he looks a lot older than he is all because his wrinkles mostly caused by this (to the point where some people assuming that he is at his mid twenties despite being 19 years old). he literally gets shot by the Ryuji Goda beam because i said so. The only differences is that the effects only happen to Tatsuya when he's probably 14-15 years old + It's like a painfully slow process unlike Ryuji where he was 12 years old and he already looked like a teenager that's almost about to go through adulthood (ok i am jsut exaggerating at this point). and it's not jsut his bad skincare routine that causes this, i would like to think he does a lot of wacky shit that really really damages his skin quite a lot. now i am not sure what kind of stuff he would be doing to get into thsi point but it just makes sense in a way. so long story short: Tatsuya has a bad skincare routine. Here's an example of what I mean by all of this, showing how much Tatsuya has changed through out the events of Kurohyou 1 to Kurohyou 2.

There are some stuff that I haven't mention here such as his barely growing stubble beard or his more wider build (i mean ig??) but those aren't really the main focus here. And most of will subject to a change if I want to since I am barely starting out kh2 so pls bear with me. I jsut made this for fun also THIS WASNT MY INTENTION TO WRITE OR DARW ALL OF THIS LOL????? uhhhhhh yea, went a little to far.. oops. yikes. Ill add more stuff later in the replies,,, tahnk u 4 reading

[designernishiki]

for real tho? especially if you consider tachibana kiryu’s equivalent to makoto in majima’s side of the story, i really believe something in kiryu snapped when tachibana died just as much as something did in majima later on when makoto got shot– if not more. the mad dog persona was a conscious choice that didn’t come about the second majima snapped and fought everyone tojo hq, but kiryu was straight up ready to kill a man by the time he was fighting shibusawa, no persona or anything to blame it on. arguably he went off the rails way sooner and held it together for way less time than majima managed to.
