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

5. Kiryu's Unique Introduction Chime

When a character is introduced in the Like A Dragon series, they tend to have a freeze-frame moment with their name, association, and position within said organization.

The same short music stinger sounds when this happens - except when Kiryu is introduced for the first time.

Kiryu, the series’ primary protagonist, is the only character introduced with his own unique chime. In later titles when he is presented, they also use this unique stinger for his introduction.
