Like A Dragon: 11 Details In Yakuza Games That'll Blow Your Mind

11. Majima "Fifty-Six" Goro

Majima Goro is a regular character of the series - playable in several games and a boss fight in most others. His name, Goro, can be construed as referring to the number Fifty Six.

Numerous games in the series have subtle references to this fact. None more blatant than Yakuza 0, which sees Majima attempting to scam Kiryu out of exactly ¥560,000 with the phrase "Five for the 'Go', Six for the 'Ro'."

Dead Souls, a what-if spin-off positing the Like A Dragon universe in a zombie apocalypse scenario, also has Goro wielding a pair of shotguns dubbed versions of an 'MJM-56' model. Likewise in the remake of the second game, called Kiwami 2, there is a mode where you play as Majima and he starts with exactly ¥56,000.
