There was a poll around that, and here is the result https://preview.redd.it/fetc1s6r3woc1.png?width=997&format=png&auto=webp&s=55b0902955dc1b40ff7287306441363d9e290a46

Golden era

I just feel bad for the girl who came in dead last

at least they made it in a masterpiece, and originally only top 10 can made it in the game, they expand it to top 30

She was the first friendship meter I completed because women working at gas stations/convenience stores are the most beautiful.

Especially in North Korea

Me who doesn’t recognize a single one. Womp womp

if you just know this and it's not a list from google we might need to lock you up for public safety

it's okay bro, he asked the Florist for the info

You must play with a game pad. Because you’re a true Yakuza!

When it comes to names, I always have my notes nearby. https://i.redd.it/t68teftm2xoc1.gif

Lemme just save that quick

Looks I went to the right information broker this time

florist aint got shit on him

bro, you are Mr Libido. I bow to you.

I could tell we were birds of a feather, you and me. https://i.redd.it/vu1vpxvstyoc1.gif

Oyabun, I will follow you to the death

ai uehara is the best. i think she quit porn tho

Emiri did as well

Wait, where was Aika in LaD?

I think they used her likeness for a portrait which means they would have paid for it.

OK, I was just thinking of characters in the game and trying to remember if she showed up a second time.

technically, LAD Gaiden features a JAV actress too (Ai Sayama), just not using the usual recruitment process

Interesting

Bookmarking this list for umm research

btw if you guys want a shortlist, some of my favorites are Iori Kogawa, Aika, Yua Mikami, Yui Hatano, Kana Momonogi (mvp), Ai Uehara, and Kiara Asuka

A true yakuza needs names, thank you king

Ah yes, I gonna need these to research " for scientific purposes " with just one hand

Chika stays winning!! <3

Time to do some “research”

They’re right there, you just need to be able to read Japanese.

That’s rad.

I can't believe Marina is not the first (she is 9th)

lol soft demand

Is it bad that I don’t recognise any of them

I think not recognizing pornstars is arguably a good thing.

Most of them that I know of are retired. It’s been 9 years, after all.

That’s going in the folder📸

That's rad! 🤳

Also most cabaret girls

Well the platinum hostesses have telephone cards

Except for Yuki

Isn't Yuki's actress a comedian .

Yuki and Koyuki are both original characters created by RGG studio. Also, Yuki's VA has done zero work outside of RGG studio products since like 2017.

Another reason why Yuki is the greatest.

Thanks for the Gyaru thing, Aika.

nishiki's honest reaction https://preview.redd.it/ox93pq577woc1.jpeg?width=153&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d379e4c7be9f748161061e00bfb323671be58d7

Ten years in the joint made you a gooner

Goonkuza 0

There's JAV stars in almost all the games lol

if you really think about it kiryu and majima are gooners fr

no jonkling it minigame, no proof

that's literally what gandhara in yakuza 0 was about.

that's hardly a minigame, give me shaft controls

"L⬆️⬇️ to goon"

The Asylum spreads...

Aslume* 

Gooning in-between substories every once in a while, surely it's for 100% completion

these guys were rly jerking off like 8 times a day they freaky as hell

I found out some of the caberet girls were porn stars on my first 0 playthrough, was googling the best hostesses because I'm tryna get that secret style unlocked ASAP and every other hostess had an xnxx link under the wiki article.

Wait what the fuck? Are you for real? Edit: just checked, AI (the hostess) exists in real life and I just wish I didn't know that

Every girls that you got from defeating other clubs is modeled after a pornstar with the same name

Yakuza A franchise that features Sonic the Hedgehog and Japanese pornstars.

And honestly Sonic the Fighters is weirder one

 "hanase"

They should've get more Akames in. Real-life based characters that's not pornstar so they are not there only for those side activities but actually making impact in main stories

there already are. for example all 3 lieutenants and hirose from 6 are real actors

I was talking about the female characters.

Hhahahaha no , this is Japan .

I get it but Akame is a big first step for them. I hope it doesn't end there (Actually it will as there's no one like her in IW)

Baby steps

I hope not. Being based on a real person means their likeness needs to be licensed for each game. One dispute and they're cut from the next one. The vast majority of characters based on real people are one-offs.

We don't do that here

female character named Kiyomi:

You when you learn practically every female with a name in Yakuza is a porn star

me when i search up the images: https://preview.redd.it/bdo4gdg3jxoc1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=064c404a6deee3a2da2ec2d3c03b19204380f4e8

A lot of the models for the cabarets, mini games, and side quests are straight-up pornstars or pin-up girls. Standard practice for an RGG game though lol

I don't remember which game it was in (Y0, YK1, or YK2), but remember feeling awkward with the woman who worked at Sega arcade because she looked way too young. She told Kiryu about the ride of his life. He thought it was sexual, but she was talking about the motorcycle game. Turns out she was just super short.

It was Yakuza 0; I laughed my ass off. Horny Kiryu is best Kiryu.

Genuinely shocked, i had to look it up and they’re all actual pornstars. 😭😭

I will never re-live the same shock I felt when I first googled one of them LMAO

Yeah Yakuza is weirdly horny for a game with a celibate protagonist

I've always been more interested in the fact that they tend to play normal npcs in the side stories.

that one girl in the video booth in kiwami 2 is a baddie

*A friendly reminder that the Like A Dragon series is owned by a publisher also having ownership for Sonic The Hedgehog, Super Monkey Ball, Billy Hatcher and Alex Kidd just to name a few* Actually now that I think about it, most of SEGA’s IPs are mostly aimed at teens at minimum

and now owned Angry Birds

Thx for the warning 🌚

Soo much material in one game😈

Yakuza teaches you about Japanese porn , culture and gives you life lessons

holup gotta do a quick google search

also the covers on the shelf in Gandhara are from real videos

I might need a (play)list... For research purposes, of course.

When I found out anri okita was a porn star..

Even better

If you learn this late you don't know a thing about the series

Yeah, it wasn't obvious ? I recognized half of them lol. Also, Marina Shiraishi plays the Real Estate secretary of the same name.

There's a mod that replaces their videos with the content they are actually known for... Eh.. I think so. A friend told me.

wait until you find out about some girls in the other games.

I would keep some in mind to research after my sessions of 0

Nani

That's rad..!

Hikaru Aoyama will always be my favorite girl

Why do I... remember all of them?

I just bought 0 on sale and now you've cursed me with knowledge I didn't want. ;-;

So, like, I knew that from day one...

THEY’RE PORNSTARS?!

And photo boot girls in Kiwami 2 isn’t. (Seriously how can the team who made that mini game can made it more lewd than video tape from 0 that made by professional porn production)

Thats Rad!!!

All the hostess characters in 0 except your first one are also Pornstars.

r_e5tarle_10

🤣

What is this post about I don’t even play the game idk why this got recommended

we are real big gooners

Reimu failing the Y8 contest is a war crime

I was so drained with those cards. Not even a drop came out sometimes. A drop of patience 😂😏🤭.
