The two playable characters in Yakuza 0 are Kazama Kiryu, and this eyepatch wearing fan favourite
Who is Goro Majima?
It’s Yu Namba’s default job/class, also a pretty accurate description on him at the start of Yakuza: Like a Dragon
What is Homeless Guy?
The name of the mysterious faction that Kiryu works for in Infinite Wealth and The Man Who Erased His Name. You can play Master System games at their hideout!

The plot of Yakuza 0 revolves around getting the deed to an empty lot, which would later become the site of this major Kamurocho landmark
What is the Millenium Tower?
She’s the purple haired leader of the Geomijul, and my favourite party member in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Who is Seonhee?
Kiryu’s efforts to remain “erased” are haphazard at best, but he does at least use these aliases (I’ll accept either)

It’s where Kasuga is working at the start of Infinite Wealth, and where you go to change character jobs in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

What is Okinawa?
Yakuza 0 takes place in the late 1980s, known as this “era” in Japan

The name of the pary’s hangout bar in Injincho. The bartender looks familiar if you played Yakuza 1,2, or 3…
What is Survive?
She operates an information network in Sotenbori, and acts as Kiryu’s quest giver in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
Who is Akame?
The resort minigame in Infinite Wealth is set on this island. Someone at Sega must like Animal Crossing

Kiryu is introduced to this recurring mini game in Yakuza 0 , which has him frequently competing against small children throughout the rest of the series
What is Pocket Circuit? (I’d accept slot cars too)

These Japanese entertainment establishments are a constant presence in the series, with Kiryu actively managing one in Yakuza Kiwami 2

Most Yakuza games let you play retro games at this iconic game center, which closed in 2022. In Yakuza 0, they’re contemporary!
What is Club Sega?
This guy was a major antagonist in Yakuza 6, but he becomes a party member in Like a Dragon. Or at least his body double does…
Who is Joongi Han?
Kiryu’s new fighting style for this game, it lets him use fun gadgets like jet boots and attack drones
