Main Characters

The Awakening Dragon
Kazuma Kiryu (Japanese VA: Takaya Kuroda)

A member of the Dojima Family, a direct subsidiary of the Tojo Clan, the largest yakuza organization in Eastern Japan. Orphaned at a young age, he was raised in the Sunflower Orphanage established by Shintaro Kazama, the Dojima Family's lieutenant.

Following in Shintaro's footsteps, Kiryu plunges into the depths of the yakuza underworld. However, when a certain murder case comes to light, Kiryu finds his father figure Kazama pulled into the crossfire.

Determined to protect those he holds dear, Kiryu decides to leave the Dojima Family, but the clan's three lieutenants have no intention of letting him leave quietly.

The Caged Dog
Goro Majima (Japanese VA: Hidenari Ugaki)

The manager of the thriving Cabaret Grand in Sotenbori, Osaka. Dubbed "Lord of the Night," for having resurrected the once lifeless club to what is now Sotenbori’s number one spot for night life.

The glitz and glam serve as a cover for his true identity—a former yakuza of the Tojo Clan who was kicked out for defying orders. Following a brutal period of confinement and torture, he now lives bound by a leash gripped firmly by his family, where a single misstep could tempt them to completely pull his noose.

Struggling to find a way out of his façade, the Tojo Clan have Majima backed into a corner and offered him the only condition for his return to the clan: he must personally wipe out a certain someone from existence.
