Kazuma Kiryu had a legendary reputation going into Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and the game makes him feel as strong as he should be. While he may not be the de facto lead of the game, his role is still extremely important. One of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's most important jobs was managing Kiryu's transfer into the Like a Dragon series' new gameplay style. In that sense, the developers' efforts were a rousing success.
