The Japanese YouTube channel for the Yakuza series uploaded a new brief interview with Shinichi Shinohara, the judo talent who is set to make a guest appearance as a character inspired by himself in Yakuza Kiwami. For those who are unaware, Shinohara’s character is from out-of-town and Kiryu will at times show him around Kamuro-cho, but under special circumstances Kiryu will also be able to fight him in an underground fight club.
The interview is about two minutes long, and in it Shinichi Shinohara answers a few questions. You also get some looks into the model design and face capture for Shinohara’s character, and Shinohara himself recording lines. It is a fun watch.
