The Like A Dragon/Yakuza/Ryu Ga Gotoku series often features real life Japanese celebrities, including actors in the main cast, pro wrestlers, athletes and TV chefs as themselves in some of the many side missions, as well as gravure and AV idols featured as hostesses or camgirls that sometimes show their goods in unlockable live-action cutscenes.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio usually hold auditions to determine who'll be interacting with Kiryu, Ichiban, Yagami or any of the series' other progatonist, and held one in Minato Ward, Tokyo for their next, yet unannounced game. The competition was hosted by vtuber Kson, one of the previous winners who was featured as a live-action hostess in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name and a 3D barmaid in Like a Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth. After 2 months of judging, RGG Studio revealed the 5 lucky women that got the part, and there are some big names (among other things) coming to their next game. They are:
Kaho Shibuya, cosplayer, Onlyfans model and former AV idol
Seiko Kirishima, race queen
Enako, cosplayer, singer and voice actress
Rie Ishikawa, streamer and MC
Ai Hongo, streamer and AV idol
We still don't know for sure just what RGG Studio's next title is, whether it'll be Like a Dragon 9, Judgement 3 or something new entirely. All we know for sure is they've got a reveal planned for Tokyo Game Show in September that they've described as "surprising," but what won'y be a surprise is these 5 absolute babes will appear in some form or another. Personally, I'm a big fan of Kaho Shibuya, and I'd be surprised if she and Ai Hongo don't appear in those lewd live-action segments.
Do you guys think RGG Studio made the right choice with these 5? Are you hyped for them to appear in their next game? Let us know below!
