This has been a decade-long campaign of asking Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio to make these Ishin! titles available in the West, which has now been made possible due to the increasing recognition of the Yakuza franchise.
In this journey, people embody the legendary warrior Sakamoto Ryōma, who is similar to the leading figure in Yakuza, Kazuma Kiryu, and engage in a thrilling narrative of samurai drama, which is set in Japan’s Edo period. A unique element is that each character is portrayed by a recognizable figure from the broader Yakuza series, building a bridge between the events of 1860s Japan and the events of the Yakuza timeline in the present day.
