I don't get it

Matthew Sacco yeah, wasn’t expecting his voice actor to look like the Asian mr bean

And Shimano looks like a downright evil person! That dude is scary.

Yeah and the Shimano pic looks like the last thing you see before he crushes your head with his bare hand.

Micheal madsen

Same with Shibusawa

OHHHH BOOIIII

omg the voice automatically appear in my head

yes

Nyeszzz

No BOIIIII

It's funny, when I first saw them I couldn't imagine any of them throwing a punch, let alone putting up a serious fight. Oh, how naive i was!

until kuze took off his shirt lol. I was like wtf is this monster... i wish id look half as fit as him at the age of 50. I also imagined Awano to have a beer belly, then i was shocked at his 8-pack lol

Yakuza characters are all beasts, lol

It's because they were already known as Yakuza actors lol

Zixiong Wang realistically, one who lives the life of luxury like awano did, wouldn’t have a six pack.

ikr

That can't be right.

dead

Lol wtf no

Wait a minute...

Rrally?why??

@@everythingreview767 people dies

and now kazama's voice actor has passed away...

@@everythingreview767 People die when they are killed....

@@samuraiondo sad,...for the little screen time he's appear in he really did a good job,...

Boumkwo she will be missed 🙏🏽🙏🏽😞😞

Darn it! I didn't know that!

Her fate was writting once she took Reina role T_T

Rip

what happened?

They just actors play.

yeah fuck off

Yes, that's what happens when you model characters off actors..

It's because they're already famous japanese actors. Surprised you didn't know that considering you're a weeb.

a lot of Yakuza characters are modeled after and voiced by famous yakuza movies and drama series actors.

rip HIROSHI NOHARA

@@popopopooon4902 and Japanese dub of Tony Hawk

Sunny Kenny Suseno KWSK

Japanese Johnson and megatron TFP dub

RIP Hiromi Tsuru I knew her as Bulma's (Dragonball) VA tho.

I feel like just a spin-off with Kuze as the main character or antagonist would make people cream lmao

also kuZEE oAAAAAAA (sucker punch)

@@ElPolloLoco7689 and it shall be called YaKuze

He had the best boss music too. You know it’s about to get real when you hear the guitar riff

boredstudent Honestly after the third fight I was like "how many times do I have to whoop your ass, old man?" But yeah the first two times he really was intimidating

@@ricoco7891 I beat him up so much I'm starting to feel bad for Kuze

@@ricoco7891 that's what I said in my playthrough lol, but Kuze was always easy for me. first time I played this Awano actually put up more of a fight than any of his brothers did, but with Kuze you fight him like 5 freaking times. it's like the developers couldn't think of anyone else to use. now the first 3 times made sense somewhat since he got embarrassed the first time around, and had to cut his finger off. so I can see him wanting to back at Kiryu, but after the 3rd fight they had in the streets when Tachibana comes out of nowhere with the sports car, that should've been the end of there thing. but for whatever reason they decided to use him again when Tachibana was being tortured, and he wasn't even the guy doing the beating, he was just there. and then the last time you fight him made even less sense, he was outside the family office. Kuze was supposed to destroy the family office, but he didn't do, he made those men leave just so he can wait for Kiryu to show to fight him again. Kuze is too predictable, since he's mainly a boxer, as long as you stay out of his range he's very simple to beat.

Right as I read that he popped up

@@bluemuppet6 I was kinda new to the series so when I got to kuze, he kicked my ass. I was able to get by without items (I had none), but it was the first part of the game when I thought "holy shit, this guy is the real deal". Kinda glad I wasn't great at combat at the time (not that I am now) because it made it so every time I fought him I didn't know if I would win or not.

Hilversumborn it came out in 2015 tho? And yes it should have been.

Same gave this a 10/10

@@albertwesker5674 hes talking about the english version

to me it was nier automata

GOTH

YRJ 88 and they look the same

face/motion capture

They have the same ears lol

MoCap

The real tsukasa sagawa

Dojima’s lieutenants are actually famous Japanese crime actors, so they used their faces probably because it just looks good

@@submergedbird8244 ahh that’s dope I did not know that

@@submergedbird8244 they probably told sega "do mocap"

KIRYUUEEEEAAAAHHHHH

@@W.2026 KIRYU-CHAAAANNN

B1g Ch13f81 apparently for a lot of the new Yakuza 0 only characters they hired famous Japanese crime movie actors to play them. They probably made them look like the actors so their audience would recognize them. Kind of like Norman Reedus/Mads Mikkelsen in Death Stranding

@@aadarshbalireddy2939 They started it with Yakuza 4 doing new characters based on actors that also voice them

@Александр Костров That's why, but they should've at least train them for Kansai accent tho

@Александр Костров all of the porn actress available on the telephone cards collectable in the game are modeled into characters in Yakuza 0, it is funny how Kiryu didnt recognise his own secretary on the background poster in the adult video shop

tysm!

And some add, 2:49 Roronoa Zoro

@@rozanraulibrahim3217 date masamune from sengoku basara

Majima's VA voiced Jinin Akebino in Naruto

@@rozanraulibrahim3217 cant believe he got such a random role

they actually pretty big deal if you like watching japanese yakuza film like hitoshi ozawa and riki takeuchi is one of the familiar face

A lot of these guys are actual crime actors that do movies involving fictional Yakuza

These are some of the most famous actors in Japan, to sell more copies they make their characters look like the actors.

Ugaki looks chubbier than Majima

It's a tradition with yakuza games, the characters normally always resemble the voice actors, I think they do this to make the characters seem believable and realistic

Dunno why but her eyes in that pic looks a lot blinder than Makoto.

It is a crime to be a actor for nerds losers like you

Saulo Santos sounds like someone’s too afraid to call themselves a loser, and instead decided to call a random person in the comments one instead Dude, the first step to self happiness is accepting that your a loser

Destroyer Creater you're*

Funnily enough there is sidequest in KIwami 2 where KIryu has to voiceact in a yaoi game.

@@Casshio ok that's actually funny

The Forest Scene hits hard And then Kiryu just steals his car XD

So Ichiban will sound different in Y8..

same voice actor

@@zaiKongsi Video clearly shows different voice actors

@@KlutzyBoss his voice acting is so good he can sound like other characters

@@KlutzyBoss don't know why he skipped his for?

@@KlutzyBoss guess he couldn't get it to work maybe the file for the audio corrupted

わかる。7の石尾田も速水奨に似てる

芸能人が出る代わりに似せる

The worst thing is that his voice for Nishitani is in the same tone he used for Eugene :(

Lolol seriously when I first played 0 I was like what the hell why is zoro here😭😭

He barely looks like Dojima. But a good voice. Was shocked though to find what happened to him in Kiwami though.

He's back in like a dragon ishin alongside riki takeuchi and hideo nakano

Nakai Kazuya voices Zoro in One Piece

Katsuyuki Konishi as Laxus Dryeyar in Fairy Tail

Keiji Fujiwara voiced Leorio in Hunter x Hunter

Is that guy really Japanese?
