Story

1995, Kamurocho… An up-and-coming yakuza takes the fall for the murder of a crime boss to protect his sworn brother and his childhood friend. This man is none other than Kazuma Kiryu, the legendary Dragon of Dojima. After a decade, Kiryu is released from prison and moved to a world he no longer recognizes. His own organization has turned against him, and various conspiracies threaten to tear the streets of Kamurocho apart. When 10 billion yen vanishes from the Tojo Clan vault and Kiryu finds himself caught in the middle, he finds everything points to a young, mysterious girl named Haruka. Amid the chaos, a chance encounter brings the two together. Together, they must survive to find the answers they both seek.
