・Story
After losing his memory, Goro Majima, a once-feared legend in the yakuza world, sets sail in search of treasure.
Half a year after teaming up with Kiryu for a massive battle in the Millenium Tower, Goro Majima washes up with the wreckage of a boat on the shore of a remote, sparsely populated island. With no memories—not even his own name—Majima joins forces with Noah, the young islander who saved his life, and embarks on a search for clues to his forgotten past. However, what waits for them is a powder-keg world where scoundrels vie for a legendary treasure.
・Main Cast
First Summer Uika, Kenji Matsuda, Munetaka Aoki, Ryuji Akiyama (Robert), Ayumi Tanida, and Shunsuke Daitoh will be part of the principal cast for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Look forward to captivating performances from these talented actors!
