To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is letting fans choose its next official merchandise! Fans can select from an astounding 100 items, with the top two vote-getters promised for release within the next two years. The voting, conducted on the official website (in Japanese), offers a wild array of choices.
While some options are more conventional, like anniversary hoodies or pencil cases, many others are delightfully bizarre, pulling directly from the series’ famously eccentric history. The selection includes iconic items such as Munan Suzuki's cult outfit from Yakuza 0, Majima's infamous traffic cone hiding spot from Yakuza Kiwami, and the intriguingly named "Puffy Gold Pants."
Other memorable items up for grabs include Majima's sake cup from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Akiyama's gold watch, Kiryu's fountain pen from Yakuza 6, Kashiwagi's karaoke tambourine from Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Kiryu's wrestling mask from Yakuza 3, and Saejima's prison uniform from Yakuza 4, among many other quirky choices.
2025 marks not only the 20th anniversary but also sees the release of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on February 21st. While a second release in the anniversary year isn't confirmed, RGG Studio's history of rapid development—nine games in the last five years, including Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Judgment Remastered, Lost Judgment, Like a Dragon: Ishin, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, plus two Super Monkey Ball games and a Virtua Fighter 5 remaster—suggests it’s certainly within the realm of possibility.
