Amazon will release a new live-action TV series based on Sega’s Yakuza games later this year.
Like a Dragon: Yakuza will be exclusive to Prime Video and release globally on 25th October.
Japanese actor and model Ryoma Takeuchi (who cameoed in Detective Pikachu, among other roles) will take on the lead role of Kazuma Kiryu, while Masaharu Take (The Naked Director) will direct.
Love the games. Wonder how well they can pull off a show.
I’m personally a little disappointed we don’t get a series with Ichiban as a lead, he’s way more entertaining.
Hoping they capture the humour of Yakuza as well as the serious parts. Fallout gives me hope.
