Yakuza Guía y cronología
Kazuma Kiryu's attempts to protect the people around him keep pulling him back into the criminal world. Yakuza, also known as Like a Dragon, pairs serious crime drama with neighbourhood errands and extravagant diversions. Ichiban Kasuga brings a different outlook to the main story; historical spin-offs and the live-action adaptation take separate paths.

Like a Dragon: Meet Kiryu Before the Later Generations
Begin the selected main route with Yakuza 0, then Kiwami and Kiwami 2 before the later Kiryu and Ichiban stories. Ishin and the television series are different interpretations.

A remake can repeat an older story, while a package can also add a new one. Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties needs both parts distinguished.
Overview & recommendation
Yakuza 0 gives Kiryu and Majima's later loyalties an earlier life in a city where a small job can become part of a much larger conflict. Following that route through the rebuilt first games lets friendships, neighbourhood habits and old injuries accumulate before the focus shifts toward Ichiban.
The series' willingness to reuse familiar faces for another era is different from a time-travel sequel. Ishin's historical fiction and television's reimagined 1995/2005 events have their own premises. Even inside the main route, a parallel side story or a newly added package narrative may overlap rather than simply happen after everything previously released.
Choose Main Game Canon for 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2, then continue the later story introductions. Choose original or remade presentations deliberately. In the Kiwami 3 package, distinguish the retold main chapter from Mine's new Dark Ties story; leave historical and live-action interpretations as separate choices.
The Main Crime Saga and Recast Lives Modern games, historical fiction and television
The main route links Kiryu, Ichiban and related side adventures. Historical spin-offs reuse faces outside that modern crime canon, while television interprets familiar periods separately.
Main Game Canon (15 entries)
The modern Kiryu and Ichiban game saga and related side adventures, with remakes, Gaiden's overlap and Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties' two-story package kept distinct.
Historical Spin-Offs (1 entry)
Historical fiction such as Ishin, reusing familiar performers and faces outside the modern crime saga's canon.
Live-Action (1 entry)
The live-action reinterpretation of the 1995/2005 story material, separate from the exact sequence of the games.
From the Bubble-Economy Beginning Onward 17 entries
The selected route begins with 0's early context before the Kiwami introductions. Later character-led stories should be read with their own overlap and edition scope in mind.

Frequently asked questions 7 answers
Is Ishin an early chapter of Kiryu's modern life?
It is historical fiction using familiar faces outside the main modern canon. Choose it as another story, not a distant ancestor chapter that must come first.
Does a Kiwami package contain only old material?
Do not assume that. Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties pairs a retold chapter with a new Mine-focused narrative, so their story scope needs to be distinguished.
Is the television series the exact game origin?
It reinterprets the 1995 and 2005 material in its own screen version. Its familiar dates do not make it interchangeable with the game sequence.
