The prompt for the fourth day of the Shishitsu Week 2024 that will take place in March is “Actor AU”.
As soon as Yokoyama watched the "Nihon Touitsu" movies while he was writing Gaiden, he inmediately thought of Yamaguchi Yoshiyuki as Tsuruno and Motomiya Yasukaze as Shishido.

4 12 20 and 24 for Shishido :^)
CHARACTER ASK GAME!!! 💫
4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?
I spend most of my time with media that could easily have taken place in the RGG universe so I'm limited on Interesting Settings and Situations to Put Characters In but tonally, if I wanted to keep his background and core character traits, I think something like Fear and Hunger (specifically Termina) or Darkest Dungeon would slap.
Not that he hasn't been through enough horrors but I love the psychological/survival aspects and I'm familiar enough with the lore and workings of those settings to be able to picture Shishido in them... also I simply think physical manifestations of the psyche are epic and although Silent Hill fits the bill I just feel like historical settings would make for a more distinct Shishido...
12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?
He's on the Motomiya diet... loves sweets... loves meat... hates most veggies... very picky eater...
20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?
Tsuruno bro this is not a QUESTION 😭😭😭😭😭 but I do like to think he'd hit it off with Ryuji and RGGO's Kagami... the OGs... lol...
24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?
LEGALLY I cannot say Yuto Tamura from Nihon Touitsu because he is in fact based on Yuto Tamura from Nihon Touitsu so I will say Guts from Berserk :) I dunno the thought crossed my mind randomly while playing and then my friend made the comparison too... so it's real to me...
#asks#hospitaliers#like a dragon gaiden#nihon touitsu#kosei shishido#yuki tsuruno#ryuji goda#yosuke kagami#yuto tamura#yasukaze motomiya#YAYAYAYAYAY#for question 4 i ALWAYS think about pokemon aus but the only lion pokemon that makes sense for him to have is pyroar#and idk i don't like male pyroar's design at all but idk if he'd have a female pyroar...#i like making vampire survivors aus as well and that's basically the same setting as castlevania. Basically#it has no lore to chew on though i just like making character-accurate loadouts

SORRY SEEING HITOSHI OZAWA REMINDED ME pleeeeeeease please please please if you never take any of my recs again (<- being dramatic) PLEASE watch The Clan's Heir is a Trans Woman at some point... it is, as the title says, about a trans woman who's the successor to a yakuza family... it's got overwhelmingly positive reviews and it IS fucking incredible I'm not over it...
But Here's Why It's Worth A Watch Specifically As An RGG Fan:
Written and directed by Ozawa (he killed it on both counts)
Stars multiple RGG FCs (listing with who they played for convenience): Obviously Ozawa himself (Kuze in Y0), Hideo Nakano (Shibusawa in Y0), Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi (Tsuruno in Gaiden), and Yasukaze Motomiya (Shishido in Gaiden)
According to Motomiya, this basically came about as a bunch of trans-positive actors getting together to support Ozawa's project. For me that was a big deal because pretty much the entire cast is incredibly prolific in V-Cinema (direct-to-video action movies; I think direct-to-video has a negative connotation in the West but I don't think that's the case in Japan). Half the OG and Neo V-Cine Four Kings star in this movie, and all of them have starred in RGG at this point, so if nothing else I was pleasantly surprised to not have to disavow several of my favorite actors for this movie...
Also in the same article as Motomiya's comment, Nakano (who plays a detective) said he wished he got to play a trans woman so he "wouldn't have to craft a role." OK queen <3
Tonally just very RGG with how it blends spectacle and comedy and hard-hitting drama sometimes back-to-back... some of the themes and writing choices definitely struck me as RGG as well despite this coming out before Ozawa's involvement... lmao... I thiiiiink there's also a pretty overt reference in the climactic scene to Kiryu's iconic Step The Fuck Up line to look forward to :)
The Cartoonishly Bigoted Villain played by Motomiya kept reminding me of Mine and Aoki for some reason?? Maybe it was his Mine-stache and costuming and how lame his lines are. Maybe it was the way he runs his clan. Anyway it was funny To Me because I HC both of them as trans
Many opportunities to hallucinate about transfem Arakawa!
That is all... I rest my case... I will say obviously transphobia and homophobia (on the part of the characters) are Constants 'cause a lot of it's about portraying bigotry and acceptance on an individual level + the subs kinda go overboard on the slurs... so I can get if it'd be tiring or something... but yeah... good movie...
You had me at Simply Recommending Something LMAO DONT WORRY ill check it when i can :]
#snap chats#i do be watching spiderverse rn.. lol…#maybe ill watch it before my class tomorrow it starts at noon i think an im well awake before that#i cant wait to hallucinate omg…#MOST excited to watch you know i love crazy movies If Its Anythin RGG Like#ok i should prob pay attention to this movie. even if i seen it before HELP#most excited to watch this movie later..

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name further details story, characters, and organizations
Gematsu Source
Publisher SEGA and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have released new information and screenshots on the story, characters, and organizations of Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.
Get the details below, via the official website.
■ Story
What must you sacrifice to protect the ones you love?
A former legend in the yakuza world, Kazuma Kiryu fakes his death in order to protect his loved ones.
Having become an agent for the Daidoji Faction and assigned the codename “Joryu,” Kiryu hunts down an illegal gold smuggling site in the Port of Yokohama. It was supposed to be an easy assignment; little more than loose change for the organization. When he arrives, he finds several dozen Daidoji agents on standby. Despite having reached the rank of chairman within the Tojo Clan, Kiryu has maintained a relatively low profile among his peers here. Unable to resist their provocation, he ends up violently lashing out, which only widens the gaping hole inside him.
However, at that very moment, a mysterious group shows up.
The deal had gone sour. No outsider should have known about it. And amid the chaos and confusion, the shady group seems to recognize Kiryu. They mustn’t be allowed to vanish into the shadows.
Though he had severed all ties to his past, Kazuma Kiryu finds himself stepping into the maelstrom of the underworld once more…
■ Characters
Kazuma Kiryu (portrayed by Takaya Kuroda)
“This fight is just my way of killing time—so is the rest of my life.”
A former legendary yakuza who has erased his past and name.
A former legendary yakuza who made a pact with the Daidoji Faction and discarded his past. Once famed as the Dragon of Dojima, Kiryu reached as high as Chairman of the Tojo Clan. He also ran the Morning Glory Orphanage in Okinawa for a time. However, all traces of his past life have been buried away, and he intends to keep it that way. Forever cut off from his children at the orphanage, Kiryu aimlessly fills the void with missions from the Daidoji Faction.
Kosei Shishido (portrayed by Yasukaze Motomiya)
“If ya wanna beat me, you’ll have to kill me first. There ain’t no rules in a deathmatch!”
The Watase Family’s ace-in-the-hole.
The Watase Family is the most powerful group within the Omi Alliance and is led by Masaru Watase, who is next-in-line to become chairman of the alliance.
A capable lieutenant within the family, Shishido wields deadly weapons without any regard for his victims’ lives.
He commands authority through terror and intimidation.
Yuki Tsuruno (portrayed by Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi)
“There’s no use playing dumb. I just get the job done—no questions asked!”
A yakuza sworn to the Watase Family.
Tsuruno is a captain of Watase Family and its second highest-ranking member. A bold and meticulous planner, he leads the group in the absence of its head with loyalty and tenacity. He has laid a mountain of traps to ensnare Kiryu.
Akame (portrayed by First Summer Uika)
“The truth is, yer nothin’ on yer own.”
A shadowy figure who knows the ins and outs of Sotenbori.
Akame is a jack-of-all-trades based in Sotenbori, Osaka. She is deeply acquainted with the city’s underbelly thanks to her Akame Network, which spans across every nook and cranny of the city. She also acts as an intermediary for a certain person, guiding them to their destination.
Homare Nishitani III (portrayed by Kim Jaeuck)
“That ain’t your real name, am I right? …Aren’t you s’posed to be dead?”
Third patriarch of the Kijin Clan, a direct subsidiary of the Omi Alliance.
Nishitani is a young yakuza who quickly rose up through the ranks and took over as head of the Kijin Clan. His dashing looks betray the madness swirling beneath. He loves nothing more than to put his life on the line in a fight to the death. Within the Omi Alliance, Nishitani is an immensely influential figure on par with Watase.
Kihei Hanawa (portrayed by Hiroki Tochi)
“Your next job just came in. For codename Joryu, of course.”
Leader of the Daidoji Faction.
As a handler for the Daidoji Faction, Hanawa serves as the only point of contact between Kazuma Kiryu and the outside world. His interactions with Kiryu are strictly professional and lack any warmth. He shows no hesitancy in reprimanding the legendary yakuza.
■ Organizations
Omi Alliance
Japan’s largest yakuza organization based in Osaka. With the weakening of its former longtime enemy the Tojo Clan, the Omi Alliance is on the brink of ruling all of Japan.
Daidoji Faction
A group with deep ties to politics and industry, who secretly inherited the wealth and authority of the late “Fixer of the Showa Era,” Minoru Daidoji.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store on November 9.
View the screenshots at the gallery.
