Ryoma Takeuchi as Kazuma Kiryu in Like a Dragon: Yakuza
The Big Picture The Dragon of Dojima has graced San Diego Comic-Con with his presence. Prime Video's live-action adaptation of SEGA's smash hit Yakuza series, titled Like a Dragon: Yakuza, pulled back the curtain with help from star Ryoma Takeuchi and the show's producers during a panel on Friday, featuring behind-the-scenes insights and the first teaser trailer.
Little of the actual action from the action crime drama is shown in the teaser, but it does feature one of Kiryu's defining physical traits - his tattoo. In the games, Kiryu's accomplishments in the Japanese criminal underworld have earned him the nickname "The Dragon of Dojima," a name that strikes fear into the hearts of even the most hardened gangsters.
In addition to the new footage, Like a Dragon: Yakuza came to SDCC with more details about its cast. We've known for some time that Takeuchi would take up the daunting mantle of Kiryu, but it's now confirmed that House of Ninjas star and co-writer Kento Kaku will appear opposite him as his sworn brother turned enemy Akira Nishikiyama.
Who Is Working on 'Like a Dragon: Yakuza'? Take Masaharu and Takimoto Kengo directed Like a Dragon: Yakuza with Sean Crouch and Nakamura Yugo handling the screenplay and story while Yoshida Yasuhiro and Yamada Kana worked on the Japanese screenplay. The show comes at a perfect time as the Yakuza, now known as Like a Dragon, franchise continues to reach new heights of popularity following the release of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth earlier this year.
Like a Dragon: Yakuza will premiere on Prime Video on October 24 with subtitled and dubbed versions of all six episodes in up to thirty languages. Stay tuned here at Collider for more coverage from SDCC as it comes out.
