Very exciting!!! I wonder who the new (or returning) characters are?

I'm putting my money on Haruka as a possibility.

So five cities, five characters to represent them, Kiryu most likely representing Kamurocho, which would mean...

SHUN AKIYAMA IS NOT IN THE GAME! T.T..... probably.


Also I wonder they will have Ryugi's sister as the Osaka representative?

Is Yakuza 6 gonna have 6 main characters? :P



I stand corrected lol

That site recently posted another story about the for other characters, according to it, they will be Taiga Saejima, Shun Akiyama, Haruka and Tatsuo Shinada.

How many years after 4 is this? Kiryu is a taxi driver, Haruka is moving out and trying become an idol? What the heck?

AAHHH I knew it!!! Omg this is gonna be awesome I'm totally importing this game AND buying the English version! (If there is one!)

Haruka should be about 17 or so this year, so there should be a dramatic difference in the way she looks by now. Also, Kiryu as a taxi driver...does that mean we can drive cars?!?!!

As interesting as it would be, I call bullcrap on the Haruka being playable. Mainly because if each character is supposed to represent a certain town then where would Haruka be? Akiyama or Saejima is supposed to be in Osaka too. PLUS I thought Haruka wasn't interested in being an Idol, she flat out says so herself to the recruiter who was trying to take her away to train her as one, why the sudden change of heart?

Plus does that mean she's also eligible to romance hostesses???? I doubt it.

I need to see a page in this so called magazine for myself before I start getting excited. And If this is true, I highly doubt she's going to be a fighting character....I just can't see her being a fighter I just can't. >_< Plus there's a high chance she might just be a temporary playable character.

I bet you anything Kazuma is there to secretly watch over Haruka as she follows her dreams!

Holy crap then it is true!! Is now excited! It turns out Haruka is trying to be an idol, curious to see what changed her mind, and Saejima is back in Jail(Wtf?) Akiyama still looks the same, Saejima looks different, Haruka looks the same just a bit taller so she has to be at least 15 or 16 now. I may actually try to find the issue and read it myself now.

But Kiryu himself just looks so....depressing. I think it's the clothes he wears. I hope to god we can change him back to his leisure suit during the game.
