Nagoshi had another live event, one which he likes to call “”Nagonama”. This time around he answered some personal questions, along with giving a few new details about the upcoming Yakuza 5.
- Yakuza 5 will take place in Kamurocho, but there will also be a second city added to the mix. Right now they are considering Sapporo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka.
- Nagoshi refused to confirm if the game will have multi-heroes or single hero.
- No idea if there will be hostess additions for this game like the past couple installments.
- Nagoshi says it’s unthinkable having a Yakuza game without Kazuma. He says he is like the Mario character of the series.
- Nagoshi has stated he wants to make a prequel, like “chapter zero” detailing the past of the Tojo Clan.
As for personal questions, he has stated his favorite vegetable is tomatoes, his favorite candy is gummy and he sleeps with his cat (like actual sleeping, no perverted stuff). Also he says that he used to play in a band in college and is pretty confident in his singing voice. Sounds good.

That all sounds great, but Nagoshi, tomatoes are a fruit, not a vegetable.
Tried to post this but Segabits was spazzing out at the time. All in all….eh. Doesn’t sound like Yakuza 5 will be bringing the big changes I might have hoped for, but I’ll still wait to see more before brushing it off.
That’s not alot of info but it’s still cool i guess. I can’t wait to see them finally renew the formula
I dont know if someone is interested in this, but Famitsu posted a video with Nagoshi talking about BD and you also can see a little of the game.
