Yakuza: Like a Dragon Gets New Screenshots Revealing “Bleach Japan” and Its New Characters

Today Sega released a batch of new screenshots of the upcoming JRPG Yakuza: Like a Dragon, known in Japan as Ryu ga Gotoku 7: Whereabouts of Light and Darkness.

The screenshots introduce three new characters and the organization named “Bleach Japan.”

Bleach Japan is a non-profit organization that aims to create a healthy society by driving out all the “grey areas” that exist in the nation.

The current governor of Tokyo, Ryo Aoki, is the founder of the organization, which boasts great influence and reach nationwide.

Bleach Japan is currently targeting Isezaki Ichinjo where many “grey areas” like illegal sex establishments are still remaining.

We get to see Ryo Aoki himself, who is the youngest governor of Tokyo in history. He became even more popular after destroying the Tojo Clan with the Operation Kamurocho 3K. He enjoys overwhelming support both among men and women, and some say he’ll become Prime Minister soon.

Hajime Ogasawara is the current president of Bleach Japan. He has recently become a well-known face due to the increase of media exposure,

Souta Kume is the director of Bleach Japan’s Yokohama Branch. He’s very enthusiastic about the organization’s philosophy, but at times he gets rowdy while enforcing it.
