Feel the heat! Kazuma Kiryu from #Yakuza has arrived in @SEGA's #SEGAHeroes! Dremagen and her clones better watch out, Kiryu-chan has an ideal for violence! Take a look at his artwork in SEGA Heroes then click the thread to know the lore and trivia of the Dragon of Dojima (1/11) 
Debuting in Yakuza on PS2, Kazuma Kiryu was a former member of the Tojo Clan, a criminal organization based in Kamurocho, Tokyo. He has a tattoo of a dragon on his back and has been called the "Dragon of Dojima". (2/11)
Although nominally he's a "tough guy", his strong sense of duty leads some to judge him as an easy mark. Still, his rugged masculinity and fighting strength have also won him many fans, and he is one of the most charismatic residents of Kamurocho. (3/11)
An orphan, Kiryu was raised in the Sunshine Orphange. It was there he started down the criminal path. After taking the rap for a murder perpetrated by his childhood friend Akira Nishikiyama, he spent 10 years in prison and was released only to find the Tojo Clan in chaos. (4/11)
After a chance meeting with Haruka, the "10 Billion Yen Girl", he too was pulled into the conflict. Losing loved ones in the process. (5/11)
Once the crisis was resolved, Kazuma found himself with the title of Chairman of the Tojo Clan, but he resigned the position and left to establish the Sunshine Orphanage in Okinawa, where he now raises a group of orphans. (6/11)
His story doesn't end here. To explore Kiryu's Saga in Yakuza series even further, please check out and play the entire series by @RGGStudio on Playstation 4 and other avaliable consoles. (Xbox One, Steam) (7/11)

According Yakuza series producer, Toshihiro Nagoshi, dragons have a strong image about them, and that when players sample it, they would, as the title suggests, get a feel for the strength and manliness of the main character. Credit to @YakFan for Kiryu's concept art. (10/11)
