Kazuma Kiryu

Kazuma Kiryu (桐生 一馬) is one of the main protagonists of Yakuza 0, playing a major role in the events of the Kamurocho Revitalization Project. After being accused of murder in the Empty Lot by his superiors: Daisaku Kuze, Hiroki Awano, and Keiji Shibusawa (lieutenants of the Dojima family), Kiryu's life is thrusted into turmoil. After a fight with Kuze for Shintaro Kazama's innocence in the matter, Kiryu is expelled from the Dojima family, but Sohei Dojima reveals that the blame is still in Kazama's hand. With his yakuza status and goals in shambles, Kiryu is forced to cooperate with Tetsu Tachibana under Tachibana Real Estate.
