The show will follow former yakuza Kazuma Kiryu, played by Ryoma Takeuchi of Kamen Rider fame, as he's drawn into a conspiracy of rival factions and conflicting allegiances on the streets of Tokyo.
While we don't get a ton of the off-kilter humor and quirky flamboyancy of the Like a Dragon games, we do get an introduction to some slick action and high-stakes dialogue.
The timing of Like a Dragon: Yakuza's arrival has been surprisingly fortuitous... video game adaptations have helped breathe some new life into online TV.
This new show is a promising adaptation that draws mostly from the original 2005 Yakuza game, showing familiar faces and crucial plot points.
