The team behind Yakuza hit a good balance with Kasuga. He’s passionate and loyal, while still managing to maintain a goofy, lovable side to him. As though he were created in a lab by splicing together the genes of Kiryu and Majima, Sega knew it would be a huge risk to replace the 20-year protagonist with a new character, but in the end it paid off spectacularly.
