The underground area is also known as Kamuchika ( カムチカ), short for Kamuro Chika (Kamuro underground). Three locations have been added since Yakuza 3: a rooftop area stretching across a large portion of the town), the back streets of Kamurocho (known as Rojiura ( 路地裏)) and a third area known as the underground (or 'chika' ( 地下), which includes the city's sewers, parking lot and shopping arcades). Like the original game, most of the action takes place in Kamurocho (resembling Shinjuku's red-light district, Kabukichō).

Each character has his own style of fighting and special moves. In Kiryu's mission, Team Encounter Battle ( チームエンカウントバトル), seven gangs attack him and he must fight to reach each gang leader. Radio reports tell him where to find incident, and the player must defeat the perpetrator. Tanimura's mission, Resolving Police-Radio Disputes ( 警察無線トラブル解決バトル, Keisatsu Musen Toraburu Kaiketsu Batoru), is to keep the peace on the streets of Kamurocho. Different movesets allow different moves to be performed.

Saejima's mission, Create a Fighter! ( 格闘家をつくろう！, Kakutōka o Tsukurō!) is to train fighters to win tournaments after 50 rounds or less of training (building up movesets). A similar challenge in the Japanese version of Yakuza 3 was cut from overseas versions. After she becomes number one, the player can choose a final outfit for her and she will appear at the cabaret. A girl is improved by dressing her up and training her. His other mission, Create a #1 Hostess! ( No.1キャバ嬢をつくろう！, No.1 Kyabajō o Tsukurō!), is to scout girls for the cabaret he owns. Each main character has a side game or goal which must be completed, and many side games are related to trophies.Īkiyama may create friendship ( 馴染み, Najimi) with some NPCs by buying them items, or with some storekeepers by being a regular customer. In Haruka's Wish, the player must raise Haruka's trust level.

Available mini-games are pachinko, fishing, onsen, table tennis, hanafuda and karaoke, including duets with non-player characters (NPCs).
