Yakuza Kiwami 2 - Main actors introduction

"Kansai no ryu!"

[@diobrando8472]

Love how they tried to disguise Kiryu with a baseball cap and sunglasses like its a cartoon

Much like Majima's shades disguise

[@luppy8974]

Hey look! Its Kei Ibuchi

Then you guys in america have the fake Kiryu, he always wear his iconic jacket.

[@eieneidnf]

Joryu if the daidoji let him dress himself 😂

[@maxsams84]

Kiryu's VA is just kiryu in a baseball cap

[@JohnJiang-ov2cw]

That's true，Kiryu's height is 1.84m，the voice actor is 1.83m, even the shape of their mustache are the same，and resemblances on their facial features, almost a same person.

[@kendricklyon9633]

You know that almost every character is a face model of the va?

[@JJoa74]

I'm still impressed by how Majima's voice actor has a range from "Mad Dog" to calm in Y0

[@thefourthchairman4151]

JJoa74 yes, but I think in term of character development, I think Y0 didnt serve enough as a bridge of Majima's character development, from a bit straight and mannered guy in Y0 into the lunatic we know in Y1

[@eliminatorxx713xx]

The Fourth Chairman He did say that he would do what ever he please from now on after being toyed around by Shimano, Sagawa, and Dojima. And I mean from 1988 to 95 it's pretty much the time line he let his true spirit out except we didn't get to see it develop. We only caught a glimpse of it when he went after Dojima.

[@edcellwarrior]

The Fourth Chairman I can kinda see that argument, but it’s gets him pretty close IMO. It’s not too far of a stretch that he gets more wild and insane over the next few years and becomes the Mad Dog

[@zacman8265]

To be fare his Yakuza 0 voice is basically his normal voice

[@jonathanwells223]

[@PallasAthene12]

Imagine opening your mouth your entire life and Kiryu's voice coming out. I mean how you do live with that level of hotness? Also, I really hope that Majima's VA knows how much we fucking love him.

[@tjselwyn7003]

During the time, all the fan base preferred only Akiyama for the fan favourite. That's why Kiryu and Akiyama are know for more than 2 games as mains.

[@retrogamelover2012]

Probably the same way Patrick Warburton has lived with being reminded that he did someone like Kronk in Emperor's New Groove.

[@KaputOtter]

@@retrogamelover2012 Heh, everyone remembers him as Kronk but I always definitively think of him as Brock.

[@prithyachan333]

It reminds of of someone who said something like, Rick Astley getting rickrolled every time he looks at the mirror.

[@scarymeunster9095]

Dude, Kuroda-san even sings in a real band. Dude is a real-life Kiryu if he stayed straight.

[@DanZan]

I always get the weirdest smile on my face whenever i hear Ugaki say "Kiryu-chan!!!"

[@JohnDoe-pt7ru]

Guccikebab what's funny is that supposedly Ugaki was picked somewhat by accident when Nagoshi wasn't in town or something and Nagoshi didn't even know who he was. So many great things happen by accident.

[@infamoose1511]

Who doesn't?

[@davidtimmer596]

IKR? How can anyone hate Majima? Hating Majima should be a crime if you're a Yakuza fan, because honestly he just makes the series for me, I don't hate Kiryu, and yeah, I will admit he was a good character in Yakuza 0 and Kiwami, but after awhile he just feels kinda cookie cutter and bland. I kinda wish Majima was the main protagonist, TBH.
