'''Kazuma Kiryu''' is the main protagonist of Sega's ''Yakuza'' series. Originally a member of the Tojo Clan's Dojima Family, after being expelled from the clan due to supposedly killing his patriarch, Sohei Dojima, he has since tried to distance himself from the yakuza, which usually ends up failing due to his legend status as "The Dragon of Dojima." Since then, he's spent his time running an orphanage, working as a taxi driver, and working as a bodyguard.


Kiryu has appeared in every mainline Yakuza game to date, with him being either the sole protagonist or one of the main protagonists, the only exception being Yakuza: Like A Dragon where he is a supporting character.

== King of /v/ ==
Kiryu's biggest tournament presence is in the King of /v/ tournament on 4chan's /v/idya games board. His first appearance was during the inaugural tournament in 2019, where he had a successful run and made it to semi-finals before losing to [[Doomguy]], becoming a member of the [[Elite Eight (/v/)]] [[Elite Eight]], placing 3rd after beating [[Phoenix Wright]] in the consolation match.


==Profile==
Kiryu came back two years later in 2021 after being banned in 2020 due to reaching Elite Eight the previous year, and had one of the most successful runs in the tournament, winning most matches by wide margins and taking down fan favorites such as [[Garland]] from ''Final Fantasy'' and [[AM]] from ''I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream''. His run came to an end in the semi-finals, where he lost to [[Dr. Eggman]]. In the consolidation match, he easily beat the merchant [[Morshu]], placing third again.
Kiryu is seen as one of the most elite contestants in all King of /v/, as shown by his consistently strong tournament runs and for being capable of blowing out other beloved contenders in votes with ease. However, this has made him develop an inversely infamous reputation, in due part for being considered a silent vote because of a relative lack of presence during the tournament season - a common joke among tourneyfags is to talk about Kiryu's runs as if he had literally sleepwalked through the bracket.


==Tournament History==
Kiryu is set to return in [[King of /v/ 2023]].
Starting in his first appearance during the inaugural tournament in [[King of /v/ 2019|2019]], ''the Dragon of Dojima'' had a mostly successful run and made it to the semi-finals stage without much toruble before losing to [[Doomguy]], becoming a member of the original Elite Eight, placing 3rd after beating the acclaimed lawyer [[Phoenix Wright]] in the consolation match.


Kiryu would come back two years later in [[King of /v/ 2021|2021]] and expectably won most matches by wide margins, even taking down fan favorites such as [[Jack Garland|Garland]] from ''Final Fantasy'' and [[AM (I Have No Mouth)|AM]] from ''I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream''. His run came to an end in the semi-finals, where he lost to [[Dr. Eggman]]. In the consolation match, he beat ''The Legend of Zelda'' merchant [[Morshu]], placing third once again.

Kiryu made his return in [[King of /v/ 2023|2023]] with a much lower seed of [[Agent 47|47]], and this year would mark a shift in his reputation. Yet again, the yakuza would power through his opponents, such as [[Bowser]], [[Isaac]], and [[Postal Dude]], but it wouldn't be until Round 4 where things would go downhill for the character. Here, Kiryu would face off against fan favorite [[Isaac Clarke]] to determine who would be making the Elite Eight for the year. While Kiryu ended up winning and advancing to the Elite Eight for a third time, an error occurred during Round 4 that caused the form to stop collecting votes past a certain hour, revealing that Kiryu had really won the match by way fewer votes than previously estimated. Though Kiryu did have a relatively consistent campaign presence since the first round with various writefags and drawfags among his supporters, he gained a rather erroneous reputation as being a silent candidate following the round 4 results which spread in combination due to Isaac Clarke's more vocal fanbase, one Kiryu drawfag's OC not being seen due to not being anchored, the perceived [[Terminology#Silent Majority|silent majority]] reputation from previous years, and some Kiryu supporters diverting their efforts to other characters. Starting from quarter-finals with his rematch against runner-up [[Eggman]], Kiryu became the target of persistent [[Terminology|falseflagging]] and smear campaigning, with falseflag posters notably associating him with loving BBC. Kiryu would predictably lose to the doctor and end up ranking 7th overall.

Kazuma Kiryu will be eligible to Tiger Drop the competition again in [[King of /v/ 2025|2025]].

Latest revision as of 04:27, 8 June 2024

Kazuma Kiryu is the main protagonist of Sega's Like a Dragon series, formerly known as Yakuza.

Kiryu has appeared in every mainline Like a Dragon game to date, with him being either the sole protagonist or one of the main protagonists, the only exception being Yakuza: Like A Dragon, where he is a supporting character.

Originally a member of the Tojo Clan's Dojima Family, Kiryu was expelled due to supposedly killing his patriarch, Sohei Dojima. Since then, he has tried to distance himself from the yakuza, which usually ends up failing due to his legend status as "The Dragon of Dojima". Since then, he's spent his time running an orphanage, working as a taxi driver, and working as a bodyguard.

Profile[edit]

Kiryu is seen as one of the most elite contestants in all King of /v/, as shown by his consistently strong tournament runs and for being capable of blowing out other beloved contenders in votes with ease. However, this has made him develop an inversely infamous reputation, in due part for being considered a silent vote because of a relative lack of presence during the tournament season - a common joke among tourneyfags is to talk about Kiryu's runs as if he had literally sleepwalked through the bracket.

Tournament History[edit]

Starting in his first appearance during the inaugural tournament in 2019, the Dragon of Dojima had a mostly successful run and made it to the semi-finals stage without much toruble before losing to Doomguy, becoming a member of the original Elite Eight, placing 3rd after beating the acclaimed lawyer Phoenix Wright in the consolation match.

Kiryu would come back two years later in 2021 and expectably won most matches by wide margins, even taking down fan favorites such as Garland from Final Fantasy and AM from I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. His run came to an end in the semi-finals, where he lost to Dr. Eggman. In the consolation match, he beat The Legend of Zelda merchant Morshu, placing third once again.

Kiryu made his return in 2023 with a much lower seed of 47, and this year would mark a shift in his reputation. Yet again, the yakuza would power through his opponents, such as Bowser, Isaac, and Postal Dude, but it wouldn't be until Round 4 where things would go downhill for the character. Here, Kiryu would face off against fan favorite Isaac Clarke to determine who would be making the Elite Eight for the year. While Kiryu ended up winning and advancing to the Elite Eight for a third time, an error occurred during Round 4 that caused the form to stop collecting votes past a certain hour, revealing that Kiryu had really won the match by way fewer votes than previously estimated. Though Kiryu did have a relatively consistent campaign presence since the first round with various writefags and drawfags among his supporters, he gained a rather erroneous reputation as being a silent candidate following the round 4 results which spread in combination due to Isaac Clarke's more vocal fanbase, one Kiryu drawfag's OC not being seen due to not being anchored, the perceived silent majority reputation from previous years, and some Kiryu supporters diverting their efforts to other characters. Starting from quarter-finals with his rematch against runner-up Eggman, Kiryu became the target of persistent falseflagging and smear campaigning, with falseflag posters notably associating him with loving BBC. Kiryu would predictably lose to the doctor and end up ranking 7th overall.

Kazuma Kiryu will be eligible to Tiger Drop the competition again in 2025.
