About
The legendary dragon returns to the criminal underworld of Yakuza. Kazuma Kiryu, once known as the Dragon of Dojima, was living a quiet life as a taxi driver in Hakata after severing all his ties with the underworld. However, at the dawn of the bloody turf war between the Tojo Clan and the Omi Alliance, Kazuma is forced to accept his inescapable fate and returns to a life filled with crime and violence to protect his loved ones.
Yakuza 5 continues the epic story of Kazuma Kiryu and four other protagonists—Haruka Sawamura, Taiga Saejima, Tatsuo Shinada, and Shun Akiyama. The saga plays out across five major Japanese cities—Tokyo, Osaka, Hakata, Nagoya and Sapporo.
