This year marks the 20th anniversary of the beloved *Yakuza / Like a Dragon* series, and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is inviting fans to join in the celebration by voting for their favorite official merchandise. With a whimsical selection of 100 unique items to choose from, fans have the exciting opportunity to see the top two voted items hit the market within the next two years. Although the voting page is in Japanese, enthusiasts can still participate by visiting the official website.
The merchandise lineup includes a mix of conventional and eccentric items drawn from the series' rich and often bizarre history. Fans can vote for typical anniversary items like the 20th anniversary celebration hoodie or a Yakuza-themed pencil case. However, the real fun comes with options such as the cult outfit from *Yakuza 0*, worn by the enigmatic Munan Suzuki of The Order of Munan Chohept Onast cult, or the oversized traffic cone used by Majima to ambush Kiryu in *Yakuza Kiwami*. Other notable choices include the "Puffy Gold Pants," the sake Majima sips in a shack in *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth*, Akiyama's flashy gold watch, Kiryu's fountain pen from *Yakuza 6: The Song of Life*, Kashiwagi's tambourine used during a karaoke session in *Yakuza: Like a Dragon*, Kiryu's wrestling mask from *Yakuza 3*, and Saejima's prisoner uniform from *Yakuza 4*.
To continue the festivities, *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is slated for release on February 21, 2025, ensuring that fans will have at least one new entry to enjoy during the anniversary year. While Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has not yet announced additional celebratory projects akin to the acclaimed *Yakuza 0* released for the 10th anniversary, their track record suggests they might have more surprises in store. Known for their rapid development cycles, the studio has impressively released nine games in the last five years, including *Yakuza: Like a Dragon*, *Judgment Remastered*, *Lost Judgment*, *Like a Dragon: Ishin*, *Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name*, *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth*, and two *Super Monkey Ball* titles, alongside an enhanced remaster of *Virtua Fighter 5*.
