As it turns out, I have a lot of empathy for the new live-action actor behind Kazuma Kiryu, as he’s also waiting to get more time to star in the Yakuza series.
Look, you don’t have to sell them to me – I know I’m going to love the Yakuza games. To be honest, everything I saw from them I fell in love with, I even played part of Yakuza 0, but, you know… I’m an adult! There is a job!

“I have a lot of things in front of me to do and accomplish,” Takeuchi continued. “So, that’s where I am right now. But I’m looking forward to competing. “I feel the same way, really. Takeuchi shared his thoughts on playing an established character like Kiryu earlier this year, especially without actually playing the game, and he made some very valid and respectable points about his approach to the job.
