The first proper trailer for Like A Dragon: Yakuza has arrived.
In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, a voice can be heard telling Kazuma Kiryu (Ryoma Takeuchi) that he turned his back on the brotherhood 10 years prior, with another voice telling him that there is no leaving the yakuza – and that he will never be free. Violence ensues, a car crashes from above, stacks of cash fly, and a rather spooky masked figure known as the Demon of Shinjuku lurks in the shadows.
“Channel the demon that lurks,” the on-screen text says. “Devour and dominate.”
The cast includes Kento Kaku, Munetaka Aoki, Toshiaki Karasawa, Subaru Shibutani, Shohei Uno, Mistao Morita, Ryudo Uzaki, Hinano Nakayama, Tomoya Maeno, and Koichi Sato.
