Yakuza Kiwami
Similar to the plot of the original Yakuza,
the game centers around yakuza
lieutenant Kazuma Kiryu,
who takes the blame for Sohei Dojima's murder,
committed by his sworn brother and best friend Akira
Nishikiyama, spending
ten years in prison before being
granted parole. A free man, Kiryu discovers
that
Nishikiyama is now a powerful but cold-hearted yakuza
boss, his
childhood friend Yumi has gone missing, and
everyone is searching for ten
billion yen that was stolen
from his former organization, the Tojo Clan.
As war erupts
throughout the streets of Kamurocho between many different
factions (including government agents and the Triad),
Kiryu decides to find
Yumi and the missing money, and
protect Haruka, a mysterious young girl
whom everyone
seems to be after. Eventually, a remorseful Nishikiyama
sacrifices himself to kill Haruka's father, Kyohei Jingu,
who was a corrupt
politician bent on destroying the Tojo
and his loved ones, while Yumi dies
in Kiryu's arms from
a gunshot wound. Rather than give into despair and
allow
himself to be arrested, Kiryu leaves the Tojo and becomes
Haruka's
adoptive father.
