Yakuza Kiwami tells the tale of Kazuma Kiryu, a well-respected and rather honorable member of the Yakuza who operates in the streets of a Tokyo district known as Kamurocho. And so, Yakuza Kiwami was created, and it serves as my own personal starting point for taking a look at this increasingly popular franchise. Already they had been mulling over a remake for the then ten year old original title, and with Yakuza 0 propelling the series into greater popularity, they decided to give players a chance to experience the original with the polish of the newer games. However, with Yakuza 0 on PS4, a prequel with refined gameplay served as a great jumping on point for many new players and Sega suddenly found the series to not only be much more beloved but one of their flagship franchises. Back when the Yakuza series began on the PlayStation 2 it only really seemed to achieve niche success, just enough that it continued to get sequels and releases outside of Japan but it never really seemed to be particularly well known.
