[Interview Excerpt:] Sorry, no hope for an Akiyama spin-off. If we just made spin-offs, we’d never actually make the main stuff we want to make. [...] When we did [Gaiden] before, we had Kiryu as our protagonist, and we thought, "OK let’s go for somebody different – who is an interesting character we could explore more? And that, within a year, we could make a really fun, out of the normal mould game?" And Majima seemed a pretty good fit for all of these things.
[Original Excerpt:] Did you know Like a Dragon: Gaiden references this Japanese short story by Ryunosuke Akutagawa?
[Pronunciation Assessment:] The mainline entries of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise have featured as protagonists Kazuma Kiryu, Shun Akiyama, Taiga Saejima, Masayoshi Tanimura, Haruka Sawamura, Tatsuo Shinada, Goro Majima, and Ichiban Kasuga. The main recurring locations are Kamurocho and Isezaki Ijincho in the Kanto region and Sotenbori in the Kansai region. The main factions are the Tojo Clan and the Omi Alliance.
