Listen up, dragon fans: even Kazuma Kiryu, the man who erased his name, can’t erase his primal urge to schmooze with stunning hostesses in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Tucked into the neon-drenched streets of virtual Osaka, the cabaret clubs are back – but with a spicy twist. Forget those pixel princesses from yesteryear; these are live-action ladies – real Japanese idols and AV stars captured in glorious, unskippable FMV glory.
The Hot Spots: Where Kiryu Gets His Flirt On
There are two cabaret clubs to conquer:
Club Heavenly (Sotenbori, Shofukucho St.). Home to Ayu, the gym bunny who downs drinks like a fish, and Kei, karaoke queen dreaming of streamer stardom. You’ll stumble into this during the story – perfect for early-game charm boosts.
For increasing affection of both hostesses to the max you’ll be awarded with bronze trophy.

Castle Cabaret (aboard The Castle fortress). Later-game lair for Ai, plushie lover Kaname and Kokoro, accessory aficionado. Float high above the fray while whispering sweet nothings.
For increasing affection of all three hostesses to the max you’ll be awarded with the following bronze trophy:

Cheap Thrills, High Hearts
Drop 10k yen on the cover, pick your gal, and dive in. Order her fave cheap booze (Redbull Cocktail or Draft Beer for ~1k yen), chat up two random topics per visit (nail the “best” pink-heart answers for max meter fill), and toss a 550-yen bento from Poppo for that extra nudge. Fill the affection bar past the marker, ace the level-up Q&A, and boom – Romance Level up! Hit Lv3 for an auto-date FMV you can’t skip (muahaha). Repeat for all five hostesses to platinum your playboy status. Pro tip: Snag Mini-More Perfume from Ebisu Pawn for affection steroids. Skip unwanted yapping with pause, look up correct answers, and you’re golden – total cost under 200k yen if you’re thrifty.
It’s simplified from Yakuza 0’s empire-building, but purer: just Kiryu, being suave AF.
