Yakuza Kiwami-CODEX

Similar to the plot of the original Yakuza, the game centers around yakuza lieutenant Kazuma Kiryu and his decision to take the blame for a murder committed by his friend Akira Nishikiyama, spending ten years in prison before being granted parole. A free man, Kiryu discovers that Nishikiyama is now a powerful 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 makes it his mission to find Yumi and the missing money, as well as to protect Haruka, a mysterious young girl whom everyone seems to be after. Eventually, this quest ends with a remorseful Nishikiyama sacrificing himself to kill Haruka’s father, a corrupt politician bent on destroying the Tojo, and Yumi dying in Kiryu’s arms from a gunshot wound. Rather than give into despair and allow himself to be arrested again, Kiryu leaves the Tojo and becomes Haruka’s adoptive father. In a post-credits scene new to the remake, Kiryu and Haruka watch a mother and child talk about Santa, and Haruka asks how long Kiryu believed in Santa. Kiryu replies that he does not remember, and Haruka teases him for ever believing. As the game fades to black, Kiryu states that there’s nothing wrong with believing in Santa.
