Yakuza Kiwami In 2005, a legend was born on the PlayStation 2 – the legend of Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima, in his video game debut with Yakuza . Now, 11 years after that release, a new generation of players will be able to experience the incomparable action and drama of the Yakuza series with the rebuilt-from-scratch HD remake exclusive to PlayStation 4, Yakuza Kiwami . "Kiwami" means Extreme, and the game takes that concept to heart. It's not an HD-remaster or up- rezzing of PS2-era textures.
