Toshihiro Nagoshi was initially responsible for the concept of a hard boiled Yakuza crime story. Staff from Sega's high profile Nintendo GameCube ( Super Monkey Ball) and Xbox ( Jet Set Radio Future) exclusives were brought together, and much external staff for writing supervision, mocap and real world advertising tie-ins, brought in a very large scope. Ryu Ga Gotoku was Sega's largest project since Sakura Taisen in 1996 and Shenmue in 1999. After being targeted by Yakuza families all around the Tokyo for "10 billion Yen" and realizing that Haruka could be the key to finding Yumi, Kiryu takes Haruka under his protection and resolves to solve the mystery. On the way, he meets Haruka, a mysterious little girl.
Although he is visited by Shintaro Kazama, his adopter father who is also a Yakuza leader, he doesn't hear anything from either Yumi or Nishikiyama.Įventually released in 2005, Kiryu attempts to bring his life together and find Yumi. In prison, Kiryu receives a letter of ex-communication and removed from Tojo Clan. Kiryu decides to take the blame for killing (Nishkiyama's sister is in deathbed) and spends 10 years in prison for murder.
His close friend Akira Nishikiyama attempts to save Yumi from Dojima and ends up killing him. Kiryu's life changes irreversibly when one day his love interest Yumi is kidnapped by Dojima, leader of the family Kiryu is serving. Taking place in 1995 in Kamoro-cho, a fictional district in Tokyo (which modelled after Shinjuku) story follows Kazuma Kiryu, a young Yakuza working under Dojima Family of Tojo Clan, a powerful Yakuza organization in the Kanto area of Japan.
