Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a particularly exciting upcoming entry in the franchise. There's no doubt fans are ready for the story to move forward with Like a Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth, but they deserve answers as to Kiryu's goings-on between Yakuza 6 and Like a Dragon 7. Like a Dragon Gaiden takes place between those two games, and while fans cannot expect every mystery to be brought into the light, some new information ahead of Kiryu's role in Like a Dragon 8 is certainly welcome.
