Whilst all of this is happening, Ebina, captain of the Seiryu Clan, introduces Kasuga to a man from his past, Jo Sawashiro.

Sawashiro then reveals that Kasuga’s mother, Akane, a woman whom Arakawa loved, is still alive in Hawaii, and with little time remaining, she wishes to see her son one last time.

Ichiban Kasuga then sets off on a journey to Hawaii with the goal of delivering Arakawa’s ashes and search for his mother.

Its there where he encounters the Dragon of Dojima, Kazuma Kiryu, with their fateful encounter setting in motion a grand conspiracy that will envelop two distant worlds.

Key Characters:

Ichiban Kasuga

The first hero of the story, Kasuga carries on Masumi Arakawa’s legacy of rehabilitating former yakuza back into society, intent on not letting anyone fall through the cracks.

Shocked to learn that his mother is alive and well in Hawaii, he goes in search of her.

Its there, on that small slice of paradise, where he once again crosses paths with the legendary yakuza, Kazuma Kiryu.

Kazuma Kiryu

The second hero of the story, and once a legend in the yakuza world, Kiryu now lives in secrecy as an agent for the influential Daidoji that operates in both the political and financial circles.

Currently on a mission for the faction, he pays a visit to Hawaii where his fate once again collides with Ichiban Kasuga’s.

Jo Sawashiro

Once a powerful brawler under the command of Masumi Arakawa, he’s supposed to be serving time for a murder conviction, but due to certain circumstances, he finds himself reuniting with Ichiban Kasuga, his fated rival.

Yu Nanba

A former homeless man in Yokohama and a comrade of Kasuga, Nanba enjoys a peaceful albeit mundane existence working in an office at a medical equipment manufacturer.

However, like Kasuga, he is oblivious to the sinister hand about to dismantle his idyllic life.
