It only took six main entries in the Yakuza series, but we’ve learned (via Hachima Kikou) that Sega has managed to get legendary actor, director, and comedian (a few things from his storied pedigree) Takeshi ‘Beat’ Kitano to appear in the game.

While details are currently scant, we know that he will be featured in the game, and will potentially be a yakuza that you can actually challenge to a fight.

Yakuza 6 is going to launch sometime next fall in Japan, for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.
