Streaming giant Prime Video will release “Like a Dragon,” a live-action series adaptation of the SEGA game franchise “Yakuza Like a Dragon.”

The six-part crime-suspense-action series is directed by Take Masaharu (“100 Yen Love”) and Takimoto Kengo (“Kamen Teacher”) and stars Takeuchi Ryoma (multiple “Kamen Rider” titles) as the lead character, Kiryu Kazuma.

It will upload to Prime Video in two batches of three episodes on Oct. 25 and Nov. 1, with subtitled and dubbed versions in 30 languages.

The series’ story is set in two time periods, 1995 and 2005, and follows the life, childhood friends and the repercussions of the decisions of a fearsome and peerless Yakuza warrior with a strong sense of justice, duty, and humanity. The screenplay and story are by Sean Crouch and Nakamura Yugo, with a Japanese screenplay by Yoshida Yasuhiro and Yamada Kana.
 
So is the first 3 episodes going to be set in 95 while the other 3 are in 2005? Either way Ill be watching.
 
Wonder if Kaoru's PLOT will be in it. Sega really dropped the ball with what they did to her in the game series after Yakuza 2.

I'm so thrilled to hear about the live-action adaptation of Like a Dragon. The Yakuza series has always captivated me.
 
I remembered playing this game and loved the blend of action and suspense in the game. I'm looking forward to seeing this come October 25th.
