Like a Dragon Gaiden: Hanawa’s True Identity Theory Explained

For players hoping to bridge the gap between Yakuza 6 and Yakuza: Like a Dragon ahead of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name connects these games while giving players a look at Kiryu’s actions during his time working for the Daidoji Faction. Although Like a Dragon Gaiden ties up some loose ends, it also introduces more mysteries that will hopefully be explored in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. One of the biggest unresolved plot threads at the end of the game is how Hanawa knows Kiryu’s alias, Taichi Suzuki, suggesting he may be someone from Kiryu’s past.
