Fans of the Yakuza franchise will recognize some familiar faces such as Yasufumi Motomiya (Kiryu) and Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi (Goro Majima) were featured in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man who Erased his Name, Kenji Matsuda (Makoto Date) who provided the voices to characters in both Like a Dragon: A Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and Yakuza Kawami 3/Dark Ties. Of course there’s Kazuhiro Nakaya (Akira Nishikiyama), who portrayed well…Akira Nishikiyama and Ichiban Kasuga.
The 3 episode mini-series are roughly 1 hour each and they certainly do remix the events of the first Yakuza game. There’s certainly a low budget charm to the episodes (they splice in game footage as backgrounds!) and now that it’s subtitled it’s certainly worth a watch. Each episode is embedded below.
