Fans Start “Day of the Dragon” Campaign to Convince Sega to bring Yakuza Games to the West

Over at the official Yakuza games forum, user king_ruckus is asking support for a “Day of the Dragon” initiative. The idea is to send letters to Sega (arriving around the 8th of August) asking them to localize the Yakuza games. Of course, we at Segalization are happy to spread the word! Here’s king_ruckus’s message to Yakuza fans:

It’s 2014 and Ryu Ga Gotoku 5(Yakuza 5) still hasn’t made its way outside of Japan. Help us reach out to SEGA in a meaningful way and show them that we still want this series.

Description:

Our goal is send at least 1,000 unique letters to SEGA’s main office in America on or around the “Day of the Dragon”, 8/8/2014.

Taking part in this campaign is EASY. Just have something ready to mail to the following address the week of 8/8/2014:

SEGA of America, Inc.
350 Rhode Island Street
Suite 400
San Francisco, CA 94103
USA

Your letter can be anything you want. Keep it simple or let loose, your choice. The important thing is to send something in to let SEGA know you still want more of this series!

This is an M-Rated, niche title. The Yakuza series really needs YOUR help to continue. Please take a few minutes out of your day and show some meaningful support.

If you’d also like to mail letters to the Japan or London offices, those addresses follow:

Japan:

SEGA Corporate
1-2-12 Haneda
Ohta-ku
Tokyo 144-8531
Japan

London:
