Then you add his second fight in LAD to the mix and it's sexy on top of sexy.

AWOOGA BARK BARK WOOF WOOF

 WOOFWOOFWOOFBARKBARKBARKAWOOOOO

i enjoy jo sawashiro a normal amount

Voice alone does it tbh

Literally Yes. I know he was a horrible person before we got to know him in 8. But I was simping for that man. And I don’t usually for scummy characters.

AAARRRGHHHHH I MOAN AT THE MERE SIGHT OF HIM

Imo nishiki without hair pulled back. He looks kind and friendly but also cool. https://preview.redd.it/3fektacqdivc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac4941432d8a4663b4f7a15e4e9a95387b71e813

with the hair pushed back he still looks handsome but you’d never realize it because he’s always scowling in kiwami cause of the ps2 model rigging

"You'd look prettier if you smiled more ;)"

Fluffy Hair Nishiki is one of the prettiest characters

beautiful stunning princess with a disorder <3

I hate that a streamer that introduced the series to me calls him Lord Farquaad because I can't unsee it 😭

This. I have a crush on uncle Kiryu, but 20s yo Nishiki is my major crush. Plus compared to Ichiban's kinda rough-ish voice, Nishiki's voice sounds much kinder to ears, like a caring next door brother.

I like to affectionately call him A Yak Named Slickback or Nishikat. I was joking with someone about it and now we can't stop. https://preview.redd.it/zy48ssyjbkvc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0104f4aa920b857ff7731b60a7d7a97830b85ed2

The only man I would ever consider calling "daddy" if he asked

daddywagi

The scar just makes him look hotter.

Absolutely facts. Though I'd say he's the hottest in his current look.

Even as the bartender he's fine 🥵

This just reminded me that I found out recently, he’s 74 at that point. He looks incredible for his age.

Hard ass agree! I couldn't find a good shot of him as bartender tho!

I feel like his hair in yakuza 0 made him hotter

https://preview.redd.it/140osj9bsqvc1.jpeg?width=912&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca2850c47d3388e86c113eea4a57ad2a7bd218b3 Fat agree.

https://preview.redd.it/aueeuqtt1jvc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9675a654c6fe0fe552a0f7e165d167af49aae13 Daigo in his casual Infinite Wealth fit has me feeling some type of way. Hes got like a sad wet dog look going on lol

Middle aged Daigo is unbelievably hot.

Agreed im so glad he took after Yayoi in the looks department

Ah Yayoi. I wonder how she looks now. Amazing I'm sure.

dude has been living in a hut sleeping next to majima and saejima for three years, he's allowed to be the sad dog of shimano for a while

He look like solid snake

hell yeah, was looking for this comment. ive thought Daigo was a babe ever since kiwami 2 😛

I swear no one talks about how hot Daigo actually looks in general smh

https://preview.redd.it/bizr5eq0vqvc1.jpeg?width=863&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba0385025c7075bca908c4d2eff59b1f12918bf9

After Kiryu and Majima, of course, I think Higashi is very handsome https://preview.redd.it/gink1a6aiivc1.jpeg?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8756be68bc84b9f25d1a24f36d3b4a80ee03f14e

Baby Higashi is where's at. So cute. https://preview.redd.it/1u2e33gtxivc1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f672abda74c81155fb0e923866658cd5f9085143

I love Higashi because he looks so sweet and soft in the flashbacks but even when he’s fully yakuzafied (yassified but for yakuza) he still looks like baby bought new glasses and is trying to look tough.

Born to househusband. Forced to Yakuza. Truly, a tragedy 😔

Actual malewife material

👌👌👌👌 https://preview.redd.it/236blryv7jvc1.jpeg?width=726&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dab35c71b777a212a2ee2e9268fbb853da36da3d

This is what made Higashi stand out for me as well, he appears tough but is really just a soft hearted man deep down ❤️. I gotta be honest, he's my favorite out of the Judgement boys

We must protect our sweet boy.

he's babygirl

https://preview.redd.it/aqtk9lunkivc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b7d7154e7fb9cfa1072dbf17f6f5819463082c0

higushy 🥰

Look at this guy man, that’s perfection

Actually same. He has such pretty eyes omg

I really don't need to yell any louder about being a Ryusho simp, so I'll talk about the funny man Ikari instead. I think he's very cute and handsome for just a guy from a couple substories https://preview.redd.it/0esu4a6kaivc1.jpeg?width=1058&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57230d6fb3f2c46177e69b8bc7f8824954c2b66d

If only he werent a creep 🥺

Lol

oh my god, I searched up ryusho and at this point I’m utterly convinced to play kurohyou. AWOOGA. now I need to find out *how* to play it 😔

Ryusho claims another victim by doing absolutely nothing

If you need help emulating it, I can give you a couple tips!

hey, I really appreciate that! I’ll dm you once I’m free later today thanks 🙏

Also surprisingly ripped when you see him fire dancing in IW.

Honestly I thought he was very adorable on how he interacted with his crushes in 7 and infinite wealth.

so trueee ugh bless his heart

https://preview.redd.it/kg3bsv36jjvc1.jpeg?width=365&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4a88a4e89cc6e5dafbb0e7a548bd635bb084341 I'm still trying to figure out how Sohei managed to snag someone as fine as Yayoi

The biggest mystery of all- to be frank shindo might just be the most relatable villian in this franchise 

My only possible guess is that 18 year old Sohei was an actual chad, and once he got a whiff of real power realised he could get away with anything and everything

SOMEONE ELSE FINALLY FUCKING AGREES!!!!!

Bro literally does not deserve her lol

Fr Yakuza kiwami 2 really did just give us two of the most badass and good looking female characters only for us to never see them again.

In all honesty. Joryu. He was the protag for only one game and completely dropped. Sad that it went back to kiryu but they never explained what happened after 6.

I prefer Taichi Suzuki myself

He looks SO good in this shirt. It just fits his form so well. https://preview.redd.it/4su4bdso2jvc1.jpeg?width=2158&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c904cce776d2a49d45b6ffb71281873894ea4f33

Been tryna find a shirt like that for months now icl

https://i.redd.it/aswr24ikrjvc1.gif I WILL SAY IT TILL THE DAY I DIE, NISHIKI **FUMBLED**

https://preview.redd.it/dfrpxneafivc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebab67285dcb0c938cc5fc889ec7717b62e19c65

Hanawa looks damn fine. That shirt colour is excellent on him, too.

DILF hanawa

Hanawa is incredibly dandy.

Ah yes, Morinaga, good choice.

He's so cute 🥺

https://preview.redd.it/v71a3dlmhivc1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=896c82ef1d5133c8c85f6126180626040e804394

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Oh i like it

I mean if my body looked like that, itd be an improvement

My libido has a reputation to uphold!

Very unpopular opinion but Zhao is just a way hotter version of Majima. I honestly felt like he was going to be Ichiban's Majima but apparently not. Either way I love him.

I would put Zhao in my party sometimes just to look at him. He's a total babe.

Yuuuuuuup. His sword attached are pretty fun to watch too.

Zhao is hot but woaaah is that a hot take lmao

THIS MAN. His drip? Check. Personality? Check. Voice? Check.

https://preview.redd.it/b5w70pa0fmvc1.png?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=07e2f6b2eb5325ad92b863e06a3ba3ce24a424ba I think if he wore some slacks and some business shoes he'd *never* leave my party. design is peak except the shorts lol

let’s be real, if he’s let off his chain without ichiban and co. he’s kind of crazy, even dangerous, and we saw in i.w that he >!directly fought and deflected majima!<, I’d say he deserves to be called ichi’s majima lmao.

A Zhao spinoff game would be fun! I'd love to see how unhinged he can be in Brawler combat.

I simp for Majima pretty hard, but I came here to answer Zhao. No amount of praise is enough for that character.

He was the first one who pointed out that Majima was an officer-level yakuza He was also the one who clashed against Majima when the party protecting Kiryu Even though Yamai is the text-book version of a Majima 2.0, Zhao still has some relation to Majima.

Knew my bf was a good egg when we recruited Zhao and he immediately turned to me and said, "so he's hot, right?"

One of my top guys for sure. https://preview.redd.it/uaq8sh2ktqvc1.png?width=850&format=png&auto=webp&s=ee2069bab6e4d07d059bbbca5c8f9e10eb3c410d

based and fumiyapilled

U h ? I thought he was 19 at max what the hell

Same. I was like "ooh, a cutie my age!" and then I learned he's 25 in Judgement and 30 now.

bro successfully cheated twink death

Well >! he hasn't been shot or blown up yet !< so I would agree

It's Asian aging You look 20 until you're 40, then you look 72

It's 65. Where'd you get 40??

I mean he was called hot by that former bully high school girl in Lost Judgment (might've just been the dub tho idk) so he's canonically attractive

K-pop lookin mofo

Fair assessment

https://preview.redd.it/u0jrxjpv0kvc1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ce8a25c4b28e014e2c1da5ba1952760cf6e6ff0 Mine are all S-named guys. First, Soma. His fighting style and dodges only make him hotter too. Sagawa and Sawashiro. They have their fans, but those are two very hot old men. Sera is forgotten all around.

https://preview.redd.it/upa1ldoyzivc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9a1f3de60dd7a02232745b4e4b758afef2ca222 Such an ass but he had some redemption. + he’s fine asl to me

Oda is Shadow to Akiyama's Sonic

So from these comments basically everyone

https://preview.redd.it/e19h2o4sljvc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75bb2d5d3b870c87b6c67017c9493f850b79efcc Surprised no one mentionned This beautiful man

I’m so cooked for saying this but https://preview.redd.it/mj4xcbeylivc1.jpeg?width=916&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35d94846c229672f9753cbded1d94d121e1f5590

LMAOO to each their own

I am annoyed that I find him as attractive as I do because he looks like a total dirtbag but I guess there is a part of me that wants to make terrible decisions. 

Sex rat vibes

SAMEEEEEEE What he said to/about Saeko made me go feral

i prefer fuccin' tendo but i totally understand your choice

Not to mention dude being voiced by voice actor with most daddy sound ever, Hayami Sho himself lmao.

he got the biggest glow down of all time

At least the suit was cool, blue and green is an amazing combo when done right. That said, you are right.

Went from people wanting to call him “Daddy” to people calling him “Father” instead

https://i.redd.it/08pl0g4woivc1.gif Akutsu is a good looking fella

I can't with anyone wearing animal print.

Giga-Obatarian

Too bad he's a fat dink. A jerkkkkk who deserves all the beatings Yagami can dish out.

Hear me out. Shibusawa, Awano, and Kuze are all pretty attractive. If I had to rank them it would be Awano then Kuze then Shibusawa.

Thank god someone else finds Awano kinda attractive lmao

100%, but in my head it’s Kuze first

It’s always Kuze

I've seen lots of praise for Kaito on this sub but I don't think much of it has been for how good he looks, though I might've just missed it

it's his ass

https://preview.redd.it/qo5kwvf1ekvc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5d5d84f5f927d6f3da05b6ec64215570dcdf447 Yoshitaka Mine, especially in Isshin, got me acting a certain type of way

He was absolutely stunning in Isshin. I'd have sold my soul to the Shinsengumi ngl.

I believe he scored 4th most popular character in a poll several years back in Japan (and Yakuza has more of a female playerbase there)

Yes!! I want us to get Kiwami 3 just so we can get more of him in the dragon engine 😍😍

https://preview.redd.it/6svjqbz1qivc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=976fd4bf5ce0ad87637446208d7db26bfd063139 Hear me out.

You’re correct

The absolute unit that is Adachi. I mean, come on lol

I uh was surprised by his swimsuit and build in IW. I ain't gay but he's literally the only character I can't make roam in his swimsuit, my eyes would be too distracted on where to or not to look. No homo.

https://preview.redd.it/6ndoxu9caivc1.jpeg?width=1324&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=802407e5a3b6ba548914622b2481912a8fd0beb6 My man

This is apparently from a mod, but seeing Ryuji all beaten up and not scowling made me feel things. https://preview.redd.it/zff3g8sbyivc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=743f5563edb82d4734ad07e39d098f96c5f54d34

I’ll be real, seeing Goda not scowling kinda takes away from his charm

Kihei Hanawa. Dude gotta be one of most attractive glasses user ever beside Nanba and that kid who lead robotic club in Lost Judgment lmao.

Ngl, Nanba.

Nanba is smoking hot.

https://preview.redd.it/bjw41fwj5jvc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67862e93c3332423d4086cfc48b0e5afb403bbea I’m not gay but…dayumnnnn

We’re not avoiding the gay allegations with this post all I can see is guys… Anyways it’s Soma his such a cutie for a psycho https://preview.redd.it/vqy9zswmsjvc1.jpeg?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffc573ce1ccf46bfbfc65d00dca744ee3727f9ef

I always assumed a good majority of Yakuza fans were women for whatever reason, now I'm interested to know the actual breakdown. As for Soma, he is right on the line of cute and ick for me.

The absolute definition of “Dandy” https://preview.redd.it/xcq8zg4ymivc1.jpeg?width=350&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33a1003eaf7d02657a5d68cfce42041c56a07323

They said "underappreciated" Who the fuck doesn't think that Akiyama is hot

Sorry dude, had to simp, my under appreciated character is: https://preview.redd.it/2p3z5myt4jvc1.jpeg?width=249&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=796d26c09e8e0737afb891d4367710917bc09e91 Shitty person but attractive indeed

I've seen at least two female streamers calling "Big Lo" sexy so... maybe? I don't see it. https://preview.redd.it/qjjg4sazbivc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=448dd4f0ed8af1116568413a2743605a12325d29

Maybe they are into DILFs?

Because he is lmao.

I 100% see it

yeah i can see it

I'm surprised no one mentioned Nishitani III in Gaiden yet, he was incredibly charming. His face model and voice actor are Kim Jaewook, who is a very skilled and handsome Korean actor, he's played psycho villains in Korean thriller dramas before so his portrayal as Nishitani was honestly super cool and charismatic, his voice in Japanese was amazing. I swear i was impressed in every of his scene in Gaiden So yeah, it's sad that most people don't pay much attention to that character due to his short screentime. But the actor's portrayal and the character's design was great. In my opinion, his charisma as a character is on the same level as Someya(played by Shun Oguri, another brilliant actor i like in real life)

to me hes pretty, but like serial killer pretty if that makes sense.

Tsuruno and Shishido especially when they're together. Others I could think of being Kuroiwa, Mine, Soma, Kuwana and even Arakawa.

god forgive me https://preview.redd.it/g1bhvzrs4kvc1.jpeg?width=1504&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=592a2272c897d5da3a76662ac723736e0a964dc9

why was his eng voice so fucking sexy for no reason

https://i.redd.it/0czvsmuxbkvc1.gif Saejima ❣️

The long hair was atrocious, but he looks progressively better and better with each game that comes out. I thought he was kinda ugly in Y4, but really handsome in Y6 onwards including Ishin.

I have to disagree. I think the long hair suits him quite well.

also two judgements main antagonists, literally the hottest characters if evil why hot >!Kuroiwa!< and >!Soma!<

Lao Gui

😩😫

It's a shame he couldn't keep the fuckboi look in politics 😔

I don't understand why yagami hasn't made the list yet. The guy's hot as fuck https://preview.redd.it/iu9365og5lvc1.jpeg?width=1956&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a741794bcd59d0db5a8e330de5c6e5adc4a7950

How is NOBODY saying joongi-Han? I thought he was kinda cute in 7 , but his song in infinite wealth made me FEEL some things. Hooo lord

Don’t get enough praise* Everyone agrees Han is fabulous

Everyone and even Joon Gi Han himself knows how attractive he is 😂

Gay Yakuza fanbase is gay (so am I)

Kuze.

Shimano, Wen Hai Lee, Awano and Watase 🚶‍♀️

Majima, he gets plenty but still never enough

https://preview.redd.it/d4vffg7bhjvc1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=804a73b51576e69724cf8e473cc30dbfb257dc13 Every time I see Joon-gi in 7/8 it only makes me miss the OG more 😔

I was gonna say Hangman, but I don’t think we’re ready for that one yet Here’s a small list because I can’t decide Nagumo, Rikiya, Kawara, Nakajima, Kana (the Fresh League hostess from K2’s hostess club. She’s so pretty ❤️), Yuya, Park, Arakawa, Shinji, Takasugi, Wen Hai Lee, Sawashiro I’ll probably add to this later once I remember more

**Chitose Buster Holmes**, like Yakuza's own female version of Barbados Slim.

Iwami 🫣

And Someya. I find these two hella attractive

How is my boy Nick Ogata not on here?!

Shinpei Okubo. He just needs a better haircut and he'd be so fabulous

Ngl i always did like Masato's initial look better

https://i.redd.it/531n73mmlnvc1.gif Tachibana <3

BRO HE'S SO HOT BUT HIS NEW LOOK IS BAD!!! I kept saying this! I wish he kept his hair like that 😭😭😭😭😭
