replaying yakuza 0 for the first time since it came out and they didnt have to make nishiki such a baby boy tho

#yeah just finished chapter 6 lol #i do love what 0 does for the tragedy of his character arc #but part of me also thinks it would be supremely funny if he had just always been an evil bastard man #and kiryu was just THAT oblivious #at least until nishiki turns on him in y1 #anyway huge shoutout to kazuhiro nakaya king of crying voice acting #WHO is doing it like him

Fun fact, Nakaya was one of the first people wanting a character to be resurrected and was the first one to come up with a "Nishiki lives" au where he's badly injured but survived. Masayoshi was not amused lol (breaks my Nishiki loving heart honestly we can't stop taking Ls :( ) source: https://yakuzafan.com/dengeki-online-interview-with-takaya-kuroda-kazuma-kiryu-and-kazuhiro-nakaya-nishikiyama-kasuga-ichiban-and-their-15-year-history-with-ryu-ga-gotoku/

#no really why does he want to bring back Mine #I mean go ahead but also ?????#Shindo answer his calls #yakuza #ryu ga gotoku #like a dragon #anon #akira nishikiyama #mine yoshitaka #Ryuji can be in dead souls but Nishiki can be a big koi pond up in the sky. forever #forgot to add that I had seen this brought up before but didn’t know how true it was #Nishiki comes back with an arm and a leg that shoots lasers

Yakuza games kanji info 4

Ichiban Kasuga (春日一番, Kasuga Ichiban)

Our friendly neighborhood hero.

春 kasu = springtime, spring (season)

日 ga = day, sun

一 ichi = one

番 ban = turn, number in a series

- About his family name: spring is the season when everything blooms. In Y7 we follow Ichiban’s story as he reaches his true potential (like the dragonfish he has on his back.) The ‘sun‘ part might be related to his friendly and cheerful personality. The people he helps must certainly consider him a bright ray of sun.

Quick edit - Nice information about seasons from japanese-names.info: “For Japanese people spring is not only the season of warmth, flowers and fresh green leaves, but also of the ending and beginning of the chapter of life because the school year and fiscal year end in March and begin in April.“

- From the Yakuza Wiki: "Kasuga was given the name 'Ichiban' (一番, lit. 'number one' in the context of being the best) by executive director Toshihiro Nagoshi and lead writer Masayoshi Yokoyama. They decided on the name due to its contrast with his background and lifestyle being emblematic of Kasuga as a character, who '[lives life] to the fullest like he doesn't see the irony.'"

- The protagonist of the first turn-based game in the franchise has the kanji for ‘turn‘ in his name. If you play with Japanese audio you can hear Ichiban announcing his turn (”ore no ban.”)

Extra - His voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya, also has the kanji 一 in his name, but with a diferent pronunciation:

( 一 kazu) 中谷一博, Nakaya Kazuhiro

Extra 2 - Adachi also has the kanji 一 with the same pronunciation:

( 一 ichi) 足立宏一, Adachi Kōichi

Extra 3 - Kiryu has the kanji 一 but with a different pronunciation:

( 一 kazu) 桐生一馬, Kiryū Kazuma

Hi Tenno! You know a lot about the innerworkings of RGG so I was wondering if you have any cool info on Nakaya to share? I'm a huge Ichiban\Nishiki fan but I haven't seen anyone talk about the stuff he says in the streams or videos or anything like that. Has he ever talked about his characters or shared anything interesting about them? Thank you!

I wish I did, because he definitely has! I've always known him to be a incredible actor who's perfectly in-sync with his characters and the studio's ethos, and his enthusiasm for the series simply sparks joy. In my experience, he's always got insightful questions and commentary.

Unfortunately, I find it kind of daunting to actively research protagonists/recurring major characters and that extends to voice actors. Most of what I know about Nishiki and Ichiban comes from the staff. I've got some Nakaya clips here and there, but they're very short and light on substance; nothing that's really to my usual standard. Although, of course, I plan on sharing those too!

So, tell you what, send me another ask sometime and I'll get back to you once I've done my homework! Thank you for your interest!

#asks #anonymous #ryu ga gotoku studio #kazuhiro nakaya #ichiban kasuga #akira nishikiyama #okada izo #admittedly older content is REALLY hard to track down so no promises on nishiki/izo but i'll do my best!#i have to get to it at some point anyway so :) why not use this as motivation right
