Yakuza: Like a Dragon introduces players to the story of Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking soldier within a minor Yakuza family in Tokyo. His life takes a dramatic turn when he accepts responsibility for a crime he didn’t commit, resulting in an 18-year prison sentence. During his incarceration, Ichiban maintains hope, believing that upon his return, things will have stayed the same. However, he is shocked to find that his clan has crumbled, and no one awaited his release.
