Yakuza 3 is a game that marks the fourth installment in the series. Yakuza 1 and 2 took place in modern Japan and told the story of a former yakuza named Kiryu Kazuma, who fought for his loved ones, loyalty, and friendship. The third installment, which was titled Ryu Ga Gotoku: Kenzan in Japan (not released in English yet) takes place in the Edo period in Japan, and while it shared a similar atmosphere with the previous two games, it felt more like a side story. In Yakuza 3, gamers take the role of the protagonist, former yakuza Kiryu Kazuma and the game takes place in two locations: the subtropical island of Okinawa and the red-light district of Kamurocho. The story progresses with Kiryu and the little girl Haruka from the first installment leaving the dangerous streets of Kamurochou in 2007 and starting a new life in Okinawa. Having opened an orphanage and living a quiet but peaceful life, Kiryu and Haruka soon find themselves in trouble regarding land acquisition, and plans for a military base expansion and resort development.
