Yakuza lead is proud "people can finally say they enjoy the Like a Dragon series more openly" as some devs "kept their involvement a secret from their parents or girlfriends"

Ichiban Kasuga grapples with Yutaka Yamai in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Yakuza / Like a Dragon series producer Masayoshi Yokoyama says the thing he's most proud of is that people can openly enjoy the series now. Hm.

The Yakuza series is 20 years old now, with the first game releasing in Japan on December 8, 2005. Compared to its humble beginnings, the series is somewhat of a powerhouse now, with a new release coming pretty much every year (or three in a year in the case of Feb 2023 – Feb 2024) and a massive worldwide fanbase for a series that didn't even bother releasing in English for a number of entries.
