Kiryu was raised alongside Nishikiyama at Sunflower Orphanage, where their admiration of Shintaro Kazama set them on the yakuza's path. He is acknowledged as the "Dragon of Doima" because of the tattoo on his back. After serving ten years in prison, Kiryu returns to Kamurocho and finds himself caught up in the Tojo Clan's conflict over its missing 10 billion yen. He learns from Kazama that Mizki's true identity was Yumi all along, and that the money belonged to a politician named Jingu. Kiry and Haruka go to Areas, where Yumi waits.
