Knowing the consequences Nishiki would face and what he would lose, Kiryu took the blame for the murder and went to jail for ten years to protect his friends. By the time Kiryu got to his office, he found that Nishiki was already there, and had murdered Dojima for trying to force himself on Yumi. Knowing the consequences if he dared to interfere, he went out to stop him. After a collection, Kiryu learned that his childhood friend Yumi had been abducted by Dojima, who was still known for getting anything he wanted, including women. Things seemed to be working out well until one night in 1995. Kiryu eventually returned to the Dojima Family where he became feared and celebrated as "The Dragon of Dojima". For losing the Empty Lot race to Masaru Sera, Sohei Dojima was disgraced and lost almost all his influence and power. After the last of Dojima's lieutenants, Shibusawa, the would-be Dragon of Dojima, tried to get rid of Kazama's followers in the Dojima Family, he faced Kiryu in a final battle and was defeated and incarcerated. Seeking to prove his innocence, he teamed up with a Real Estate businessman named Tachibana and they tried to clear Kiryu's name while preventing the Dojima Family to get the Empty lot since it would mean having Sohei Dojima as a future chairman, something Kazama feared. Three years later in 1988 at the age of 20, he was framed for murder and learned that the Dojima Family was seeking to obtain the Empty Lot where the murder took place, which was needed for them to gain control of the Kamurocho Revitalization Project. Raised by Shintaro Kazama, he and Nishiki followed in his steps and joined the yakuza under the Dojima family in hopes to help the man who raised him. Kiryu was raised in the Sunflower orphanage along with his closest friend Akira Nishikiyama and the woman he's always loved, Yumi Sawamura. Big and scary, but very kind, loyal and gentle as long as you don't get on his bad side. Snippets of cutscenes and gameplay were shown, revealing new fighting styles for Kiryu, and that Sotenbori would be a featured location.The Dragon of Dojima, fourth Chairman of the Tojo Clan and our hero. The game's World Premier Trailer was shown as part of 2023 Summer Game Fest, wherein its release date of Novemwas revealed. The game is to be released in digital and physical formats in Japan, with releases in other regions being decided on a case-by-case basis. In an interview on September 18, 2022, he said it would, unlike "The Kaito Files," feature a fully open world and substantial side content such as substories and mini-games, but that the length of the main story (which was still being adjusted) would remain in the same range. He compared the game to Lost Judgment's downloadable expansion " The Kaito Files" in size and scope. Yokoyama stated the game would be about half the length of the average game in the main series, giving an estimation of roughly ten to twenty hours of playtime. Old fans would get closure for Kiryu's story going into the new game, whereas the new fans introduced to the franchise by Yakuza: Like a Dragon would have an opportunity to familiarize themselves with Kiryu. In preparation for Like a Dragon 8, it was conceived as a game for both series veterans and newcomers. Series representative and executive production manager Masayoshi Yokoyama explained Like a Dragon Gaiden would expand on the circumstances leading up to Kiryu's encounters with Ichiban Kasuga in Yakuza: Like a Dragon and their aftermath. He is then approached by a mysterious man, who offers him his next assignment as a bodyguard. A monk concludes the session, telling Kiryu (whom he refers to as Joryu) that in spite of giving up his identity, he is still shackled by regrets regarding his family. It was accompanied by a teaser trailer showing Kiryu meditating at Daidoji Temple, appearing uneasy. It was streamed live on YouTube as part of the RGG Summit 2022 event alongside the official announcements of Like a Dragon: Ishin! and Like a Dragon 8. Like a Dragon Gaiden was officially announced on September 14, 2022.
