The first installment in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise, which has shipped over 30 million copies worldwide, has been adapted into a live action work that remains almost faithful to the original. Produced by the cast and staff of the hugely popular franchise Unification of Japan, which depicts the Japanese underworld, the adaptation is fully supervised by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. The story follows the events leading up to the video game Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties.
As Kazuma Kiryu closes in on the truth, Terada, the Fifth Chairman of the Omi Alliance, leads him to a reunion with Shintaro Kazama. There, Kazama reveals his convictions, the truth behind Yumi's disappearance and the missing 10 billion yen—including the identity of the shadowy mastermind responsible. The situation quickly spirals as a clash with the Shimano Family turns deadly. Returning to Kamurocho, Kiryu and Haruka must press on, but what will they find at the end of their journey?
