Famitsu has revealed the juicy story details of SEGA’s upcoming Yakuza prequel (or side-story?) featuring Kazuma Kiryu as the historical figure Ryoma Sakamoto.
Ryoma Sakamoto is a member of a plot to overthrow the Shogunate towards the end of the Edo Era of Japan. Yakuza Ishin (restoration) however, is about Ryoma seeking revenge for the swordsman who killed both his father and his master Toyo Yoshida right before his eyes.
After searching for a year and finding clues leading to Kyoto, Ryoma enters the village under the guise of captain Haijme Saito – a position that will hopefully lead to the killer.
