Ichiban’s adventure is set in motion as he encounters a crime conspiracy, a conman cab driver, and even a surprise meeting with the original protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu. Fans will be delighted to know that both Kiryu and Ichiban will share the spotlight as dual protagonists in this installment.
As our heroes navigate the Hawaiian landscape, they’ll find themselves entangled with the local Chinese mafia, the Barracudas, and their old foes from the yakuza world. Adding an unexpected twist to the tale, a wellness cult emerges on the horizon. Ichiban’s trusty allies and party members from Yakuza: Like A Dragon are all set to accompany him on this thrilling adventure in the Aloha State.
However, amidst the action-packed storyline, a poignant revelation takes center stage. Kiryu, the beloved character, is revealed to be battling a terminal illness. This emotional twist promises to tug at the heartstrings of fans. Actor Takaya Kuroda, who portrays Kiryu, drew from his personal experiences with illness to deliver a moving performance.
But it’s not all seriousness in Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The game introduces a range of lighthearted activities, including surfing, karaoke, and paragliding, along with entertaining brawls that include battles with oversized sea creatures.
