In addition, there are other episodes unique to Akiyama, who is also a cabaret club owner!

Otaku Remodeling Project.
A suspicious-looking otaku-like man appears in front of the cabaret club that Akiyama manages. He told us that he had spent 5 million yen on the girl he was looking for, only to be dumped by her. As the owner, he can't leave such a good customer behind.
Akiyama starts to coordinate the man in a fashionable way and even gives him some advice on conversation at a cabaret club. ......

Saeshima [Underworld Bouncer
Saeshima, who is living on the run, takes a job as a "bouncer" in the city. ......
The game features many bouncer-related sub-stories, but it also features many encounters with people who are just as mysterious as Saeshima.

The Green Shadow.
When I went to the basement of the Kamuro Theater, where Saeshima's hideout is located, I found homeless people angry. When I asked them about it, they told me that there had been a burglary and that for some reason only "Morokyu" had been stolen. There is also a rumor that a mysterious green creature that looks like a kappa has appeared from a manhole in the children's park.
To find out if it was really a kappa, they went to the children's park and placed cucumbers to lure it out.
Then, a kappa in a costume appears from a manhole, and they try to catch it, but it escapes. A chase battle ensues, but beware that the kappa escapes while throwing bicycles and trash cans.
When you catch the kappa and ask it the truth, a surprise ending awaits you.


Kamimurocho 24 Hour
A trivial incident that is an everyday occurrence in Kamurocho eventually leads to the secret of the man who controls the world of adult entertainment and Tanimura's own upbringing. ...... A story, separate from the main story, unfolds in a sub-story.
Other incidents and human dramas that occur in Kamurocho are depicted from the detective's point of view.

The Other Incident.
When Mei-hwa goes to her hometown of Asia Town, she comes to Tanimura for help. Apparently, Meifa's father, Cho, was harboring a migrant worker from the Philippines, and someone took him away.
When they help Zhao and ask him about his story, he says that illegal employment of foreign workers is involved. As he gathered information from fortune tellers and former detectives about the organization that was doing evil to the illegal workers, the existence of a mysterious organization called "Bridge" emerged.
In fact, the incident involving the illegal workers is just the beginning of a battle that also involves Tanimura's late father, and a murder case. ......


●Kiryu's version [That man in Kamurocho in 2010 is now].
At first glance, the Kiryu sub-story starts out the same as the previous "sub-stories," but in fact, it is a drama about "that person!
The supporting characters from the "Yakuza" series will appear one after another.
In addition, there are many other troubles that occur in Kamurocho in this episode!

The Language of Flowers

So Takashi asks to meet with his informant, Sai's Florist, to find his missing father. The rhinoceros florist says he will give him information about his father if he completes a certain task. This job somehow involves Akiyama and the other main characters, except Kiryu!

This is a remastered version of "Yakuza 4: The Legend Continues" originally released on PlayStation 3 with higher resolution and frame rate for PlayStation 4.
The content is basically the same as the original version, but there are some specification changes.
In the development of the PS4 remastered version, it was necessary to correct some of the dialogue of the main character, Masayoshi Tanimura, and it was necessary to re-record his voice. Hiroki Narimiya, who played the role of Masayoshi Tanimura, has retired from the entertainment industry, so the model and voice casting have been changed.
