We're celebrating Like A Dragon and Yakuza here at TheGamer all week long via features about the series and interviews with people involved in its creation and development. We're also putting more Like A Dragon merch on your radar than usual to mark the occasion, and there's no better Yakuza merch on the market than a figure that depicts Kiryu Kazama ready and waiting for battle, shirt off with his iconic tattoo exposed for all to see.

If you have both, you can pop them side by side to make it look like they're about to take on the world together, or have them face each other as if they're about to throw down.
