I love that Kiryu's voice actor sounds less Kiryu when he's talking normally, sort of sounding less stoic and all of that. Meanwhile Majima's voice actor just sounds like Majima all of the time. Which is amazing. LOL!
Ugaki looks like a japanese steve jobs
Love how Hidenari is a massive fanboi
Two things wanna say!! Hope people will start appreciating yakuza 3 more after this video and 2nd agree with Majima's VA, he deserved to be one of the protagonists In y4
Ugaki I feel u so much, we love both Kiryu and Majima but Majima do need more spotlight, hopefully one day in the future
Ugaki-san,please have my babies
Zero kiwami 1 and 2 still the best for me
It will be a sad day if something happens to either of these two
For some reason, I picture Majima wearing what Hidenari Ugaki is wearing here and it’d feel totally normal. 👀
The music: Fly Does this give a hint on something?
I love how Ugaki also agrees that Majima should've been a playable character in 4
Kuroda is such a troll. IF YOU LOVE ISSHIN SO MUCH THEN TELL THEM TO LOCALISE IT! GAAAAAAH!
Having Mine's boss theme in the background is the best thing ever
I wish someone would upload a video of them rendered as their characters
Can we get a collection of Kuroda-San and Ugaki-san speaking? They can say whatever they want. I just want to hear their voice 💙
Takaya kuroda's voice reminds me of Hirotaka Suzuoki.
Still can't believe this guy is Sullivan-sama…
Im Enjoying Every Yakuza Title , My Favorite Game !!
Kuroda kinda looks like Jackie Chan
Ishin confirmed for the west?
why everytime i see those two va i think that Kiryu va looks more like Majima and Majima va looks more as Kiryu than Kiryu´s va ? 🤣
I love that Ugaki actually loves the games and plays them in everything. His love and adoration for this series (and his role of course) really shines
Fun fact Kyriu and Majima VA went to school together as kids
majima's actor is just no accent majima
they dress the opposite of the characters they play 😂
I’m Finally Glad 🙂 To Hear How Kiryu’s Voice Sound’s Like
Glad 🙂 This Video Is Done In Subtitles Cause Us American’s Would Definitely Be Lost 😞 Trying To Figure Out What The Heck They Saying
The Only 2 Character’s I Love ❤️ From This Video Game Is Kiryu & Other Guy Who He Got Into The Fight With After Seeing Him AT The Bar Yakuza 6
Yakuza aint Yakuza w/o these 2! Change my mind!
Fan from California, love these games so much! It's my favorite videogame series, I'm about to start playing Yakuza 3
update: am on 5 🙂
懐かしい~♪
元が桐生と真島なんよw
lengthy discussion between the other two about how Kiryu starts his most human stories in 3
Ugaki-san: "What do I do in 3 again?"
Kiryu's voice actor = asian Batista !
The impact all these guys made on me and all you guys has a special place for me thanks guys!❤️
This mf spoke ishin localization into existence. What a gem of an interview
7:02 RGG Ishin is one of Takaya Kuroda's favorites. Finally we could play it next year and see if it's really one of the top. 😌
Majima deserved to be one of the protagonists again. Like in Zero just in his present-self. I wanna play a crazy Majima XD
Tbh, I'd love to play a game which is just based on Majima. Just like Ichiban.
Kuroda being a fan of 3 in particular is absolutely based.
Yakuza is not VIDEO GAME.
Yakuza is SUPER GREAT MOVIE.
I love how majima's voice actor has the dressing sense of kiryu and kiryu's voice actor looks like he would be majima
The english substory in 3 really paid off 🙂
