Sega's original crime-drama entry, developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and released in Japan on 8 December 2005 (as Ryu ga Gotoku) with a worldwide release in September 2006, the first game in what is now the Like a Dragon series. Ex-yakuza Kazuma Kiryu takes the fall for a murder he did not commit, and on his release ten years later hunts the truth through Kamurocho's underworld. Tendence's Goro Majima pair and SuperGroupies' Kiryu, Majima, and Ichiban Kasuga collaborations all draw on characters shared across the series rather than this installment specifically. (Wikipedia)
Watches
- Tendence Ryu ga Gotoku Goro Majima Nylon TY046038
- Official product partnership, not an in-work appearance. Tendence's second collaboration with the franchise, nine years after its 2016 Yakuza 6 debut, built around recurring character Goro Majima rather than any single installment: a 50 mm nylon case, silicone strap, and quartz movement, limited to 100 pieces at $540–635. The dial reproduces Majima's Hannya-mask back tattoo, and the caseback carries the snake motif from his eyepatch. Announced July 2025, around the time of Majima's starring role in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii but not stated by the source to be licensed to that release specifically.

- Official product partnership, not an in-work appearance. The aluminum-case sibling of the same 2025 Goro Majima release, materially distinct from the nylon TY046038: a crystal-set bezel, brushed silver dial, and blue hands, a markedly more jeweled execution than the nylon model's black-and-gold dial, on the same 50 mm case size, silicone strap, quartz movement, and 100-piece limit at $540–635.
