Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii English voice cast revealed along with series discounts at Steam’s Winter Sale

With the chilly winter we’re experiencing in the Northeast, any experience of tropical weather will be a welcomed one, so I’m certainly looking forward to experiencing RGG Studio’s version of Hawaii when the Like a Dragon series returns to America’s 50th State in February 2025. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will put us in the control of series favorite Goro Majima as he’s washed up on a strange island without any of his memory. He befriends a local familiar in wacky Like a Dragon fashion finds himself embroiled in local affairs and even sees himself becoming the captain of a pirate crew!

While I will never use the english dub, as Hidenari Ugaki IS Goro Majima, but for those who are afraid or some text at the bottom of your screen, RGG Studios has made sure to cast a variety of well known voice actors to ensure your english audio experience is a top notch one. Leading the cast is Matt Mercer playing Goro Majima himself, Matt is a titan in the voice acting industry having voiced characters such as Leon S. Kennedy, Jotaro Kujo, Levi Ackerman and Vincent Valentine. He is also one of the founding members of the Dungeons & Dragons Troupe Critical Role and has been the English voice actor for Goro Majima since 2020’s Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Other standouts include AEW wrestler Samoa Joe lending both his voice and his likeness to Raymond Law, one of the men sitting atop the lawless realm of Madlantis. However the one who holds the reins is Queen Michele voiced by Debra Wilson who is most known for her roles in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor, God of War Ragnarök and her tenure on Mad TV. Other English voice actors revealed include…

Goro Majima – Matthew Mercer
Raymond Law – Samoa Joe
Noah Rich – Maya Tuttle
Jason Rich – Jeremy Brandt
Masaru Fujita – Brent Mukai
Taiga Saejima – James Kirkland
Queen Michele – Debra Wilson
