In this midquel spinoff, we get to see what Kiryu was up to while Ichiban and his crew were busy dealing with Ryo Aoki in Tokyo. He now goes under the codename Joryu and has signed a deal with the Daidoji faction as an agent in disguise. Kazuma Kiryu has left his former life behind by faking his death for the sake of protecting his foster children. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name takes place right after the events of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life and in parallel with the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon. This is not to say we won’t ever see him again, because the upcoming spinoff Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name brings Kiryu back for a brand new adventure that pays homage to the series’ roots. It was undoubtedly a turning point for the franchise when the developers decided to retire Kiryu and put the new spotlight on Ichiban Kasuga instead. If you’re a fan of Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Yakuza franchise, then you’re probably also an enthusiast of the iconic Kazuma Kiryu as well.
