So I decided to read all the posts here. I have been spoiled for Yakuza 3, so much so that playing it now is totally useless since I would have only played it for the story. Be that as it may, Change My Vote to Kiryu. If we can do that, I guess I should have figured that out before destoying Yakuza's story for myself.
