Voice actor Yong Yea has dropped off a brand new pattern of his work for Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the place he’s offering the English voice over for protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. Yea can be voicing Kiryu within the English dub of Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Identify, which is arriving post-launch.
Posting Twitter, Yea defined that the clip, which you can listen to here, options work recorded early on within the growth course of, and presents a side-by-side comparability with the Japanese voiceover by Takaya Kuroda.
Truthfully, even for me it’s kinda unusual listening to a voice that isn’t Kuroda’s come out of Kiryu’s mouth, particularly one which I can acknowledge as my very own. There’s gonna be an adjustment interval for me as effectively lol. However I feel having choices is dope, decide the one which’s best for you!

This isn’t the primary time that Kiryu has been voiced in English. The unique western launch of Yakuza on PS2 featured a full English dub, with Darryl Kurylo voicing the Dragon of Dojima. He reprised the function for 2020’s Yakuza: Like A Dragon, though for all different main video games the character has been voiced solely in Japanese.
Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth is launching for PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Sequence X/S, and Xbox One on January 26, 2024.
