SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio revealed that Yojiro Noda and JID perform the theme song of Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. This is one of the first collaborative songs for the Like a Dragon series between Japanese and American artists.
Kiryu becomes a Daidoji Faction agent to fill the void left after severing his past in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. In a story told after Yakuza 6 and before Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the iconic protagonist is forced back into the fray in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. While working as an agent, Kiryu will be entangled in a plot that may change Japan’s underworld forever.
