Like A Dragon: Yakuza

Prime | 24 October | Season 1 | 6 Episodes

Intense characters like Kazuma Kiryu navigate modern Japan’s underbelly. The dramatic series explores their lives and criminal underworld ties.

This Japanese action drama plunges into the dark underworld of the yakuza, exploring the universal theme of family not only through bloodline but also through ties between yakuza bosses and their underlings, orphans and their caretakers, as well as mentors and students. These relationships are marked by deep affection at times, and by intense conflict at others, all intricately intertwined. Set in the fictional town of Kamurocho, the story unfolds across two intersecting timelines—1995 and 2005.

In 1995, eager to escape their restrictive lives, Kiryu and his friends, Nishiki, Yumi, and Miho plan a heist at a local arcade. However, the arcade is under the control of the Dojima Family, a powerful yakuza organization that rules Kamurocho. They dive into the yakuza-controlled underworld of 1995 Kamurocho. Meanwhile, in 2005, Kiryu is set to be released from prison. He learns from Detective Date that his friends are in danger and decides to return to Kamurocho to protect them. However, their friendship has deteriorated, as tensions between the Tojo Clan and the Omi Alliance are at a boiling point.

Like a Dragon: Yakuza showcases modern Japan and the dramatic stories of these intense characters, such as the legendary Kazuma Kiryu, that games in the past have not been able to explore.

I didn’t think it was too bad at all, and actually enjoyed it as a bit of a “don’t have to think too hard” series. I agree that Vince Vaughn does take a little getting used to in a semi-serious role though. I reckon it’ll get a second season.

But following his latest kill, he meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer who starts to track down the Jackal in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in its wake.


The fact that Eddie Redmayne is 42 but still looks half his age lends credibility to him playing the role of the disguise heavy Jackal.
