Amazon Prime's 'Like a Dragon: Yakuza' Series Debuts

The new adaptation of Sega's hit RPG series will feature intense action and a dual-timeline narrative set in Tokyo's underworld.

The series is based on the 'Yakuza' video games by Rya Ga Gotoku Studio, focusing on the character Kazuma Kiryu.
Actor Ryoma Takeuchi stars as Kazuma Kiryu, with the series exploring his life in 1995 and 2005.
The show will be available in Japanese with subtitles and will premiere on Prime Video in two parts, starting October 24 and concluding on October 31.
Early reception to the trailer is mixed, with fans noting a shift towards a more serious tone compared to the games' blend of humor and action.
The adaptation includes familiar elements from the games, such as the fictional Kamurocho district and fan-favorite character Goro Majima.
