Yakuza is one of the most successful franchises from SEGA with eight games available now across consoles and PC. A new era for the Yakuza series began with Yakuza: Like a Dragon and the introduction of protagonist Ichiban Kasuga. Yakuza's Dragon of Dojima era concluded and Kazuma Kiryu passed the torch to Ichiban, but fans can celebrate the iconic Yakuza character with a glorious new figure from Numskull Designs.

From Yakuza 0 to Yakuza 6, Kazuma Kiryu served as the protagonist of the series. Players experienced Kiryu's upbringing in the Yakuza world during the late '80s inYakuza 0, which planted seeds for the events of subsequent titles. Each Yakuza game presents life-threatening challenges for Kiryu as he deals with a Japanese criminal underworld that continues to revolve around him. Through heartbreaks and triumphs, Kiryu rose to become the Dragon of Dojima, a former Yakuza of incredible will and strength that overcomes the odds to protect his loved ones. Ultimately, Yakuza 6 presented a different task for Kiryu and changed the series as it headed in a new direction with Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
