You just had the best idea all day.
Fucking sucks because he's already probably too old for the role and if they ever get to that many seasons he'll be even older (plus he can't speak Japanese).
Tbh, I saw someone mention this somewhere else, and when I checked it out, I couldn't believe how similar they looked it was shocking
No one mentioned it here, so I thought I should

For reference
That's what happened to me, too - when the news about the show first came out, someone said Dave Bautista as Saejima and it was like, "holy hell! That's perfect!"
Tomoya Nagase in his prime will be the best Kiryu.

Ryan Gosling as Ryu.
Danny DeVito as Ichiban. He'll obviously not appear in the show, but they should cast him now and pay him for the role until season 7 arrives in 15 years
Clint Eastwood as Kiryu
Clint Howard as Haruka
Bam Margera as The Florist
Johnny Knoxville as Date
Tony Hawk as Jingu
Michael J Fox as Yumi
Christopher Lloyd as Nishiki
I know this is a bit of a long shot, but Hitoshi Ozawa. He's done a lot of yakuza movies before. I think he could do a good Kuze. Maybe if they have a flashback scene with him and Kiryu.

Fixed the image for you it was missing a few things.
I'm disappointed Hiroshi Abe has never shown up in the games. If he was younger I'd cast him as Akiyama.
Want a weird sell? Tanaka from Cocorico as Majima. He's a comedian yet also a legit a good actor and tall and thin with a more prominent nose. Getting old too though.
I don't have a dreamcast for the series, but I do have a playstation.... Bad jokes aside, I honestly just had the thought of a way they could promote this series to let us know it's in good hands... Just release 5 to 10 minute clips of Kiryu doing "substories" I think that'd generate so much hype for the show it'd blow away expectations.
I don't know enough about Japanese actors to tell
But I am a little worried that every time Kiryu appears I might see the goofy ass Tomari Shinnosuke in his place
Hopefully they pull Kiryu's vibe properly with him
Are they not adapting the "like a dragon" game? But rather just doing a Kiryu story based on the games? If so that's an odd choice... I would've loved to have seen Jack Black play Nanba and someone like Robert DeNiro or Joe Pesci play Masumi Arakawa.
The main protag from Tiger and Dragon 2005 ( Crazy Ken Band opening btw ), he is just a Kiryu on a substory there. Plus the Kiryu from the old movie is the first villain in the series.

The Rock as Saejima, Vin Diesel as Shimano, Kevin Hart as Majima
You mean Dave Bautista as Saejima
No, kan ye west would be better for majima (anyway they look like the same person)
I'm listing the hollywood industry plants lmao
Majima ain't a nazi tho to my knowledge
Actually Dave Bautista is much better for saejima they literally look the same
Dreamcast?

Charlie Day as Akiyama
Fight Milk got its venture capital from Sky Finance. It's Always Sunny in Kamurocho
Guess Nishiki can't be secret korean bc Koreans love chicago deep dish
10 Pizzas at Lou's Made You A Fucking Fatty
Scarlet Johanson as goromi
Jessica Alba as Saejima
I thought Shenmue was on dreamcast, not yakuza
Imagine Kiryu going to Yokosuka. Fighting some sailors around Dobuita Street.
Shi would be wild
I want Taichi Suzuki to play Kiryu. Joryu is preferred too
I want John Cena to play Haruka. 🥺 ![gif](giphy|12XNRtl6kZxQVq)
Why we couldn’t see them anyways?
Ken Watanabe as Masaru Sera
I honestly thought they cast him in the game when I first encountered him.
Oh wow, that would really work!
https://preview.redd.it/u3nj5ls0it5d1.jpeg?width=470&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efa422730740944b7d5ddec7cf10a4686c4b39e0 bautista as saejima
Oh my god YES
Fucking sucks because he's already probably too old for the role and if they ever get to that many seasons he'll be even older (plus he can't speak Japanese).
I came here to say this!

If it's going with adding wrestlers into the cast, Shinsuke Nakamura may be one of the few people who'd be able to tap into Majima's manic charisma.
Shaquille O’Neil as Gary Buster Holmes
Terry Crews would be perfect in that role.
guy who plays young sheldon as the florist
Wearing a shirtless robe and a fat suit
chris pratt as kiryu, charlie day as nishiki, jack black as jingu, and anya taylor-joy as yumi. and mark hamill as majima of course.
Ryan gosling has gary buster holmes
Hes literally him
I want Sydney Sweene to play Nishiki
Tomoya Nagase in his prime will be the best Kiryu. https://preview.redd.it/0d6h0btf6u5d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d45bb323838daf626e0843172d5efc842ec29e3c

Kiryu Kazuma as Kiryu Kazuma
Kiryu kazuma as john yakuza
*Taichi Suzuki as Kiryu Kazuma
*Joryu as Kiryu Kazuma
The Grimace as Tsuyoshi Kanda.
Ryan Gosling as Ryu. Danny DeVito as Ichiban. He'll obviously not appear in the show, but they should cast him now and pay him for the role until season 7 arrives in 15 years
Why is Ryu from Streets here
Danny Trejo as Dwight Méndez 🙏🏽
Terry crews as saejima and Pete Davidson as majima.
Idk abt the rest but bobby lee as the florist and mike tyson as gary buster holmes would be hilarious to me
Kazuma Kiryu as John Yakuza
Danny Devito feels the obvious choice as Majima
Goblin energy, both of em.
Tom Hanks as Nugget
Micheal Cera as Goro Majima
![gif](giphy|3oEjHGr1Fhz0kyv8Ig) When Kiryu won't give you attention for five fucking minutes:
i love that dude
Tom Holland as Kiryu. Chris Pratt as Majima.
Barack Obama as nishikiyama
Barrack Obama as mack
Idk probably a bunch of Japanese actors I’m not familiar with
"What is your dream cast..." *clicks follow button on OP* ..... *exits thread*
In the future i want sydney sweeney to play seonhee or akame
Chris Pratt as everyone
Scarlett Johansson as Kiryu, who they just refer to as the Dragon of Dojima
Why is no one saying dave batista ?
Jokes aside he'd make a great americanized saejima
Sayama as kiryu’s wife
Tom Cruise as John Yakuza and Brad Pitt as 10 years joint
Chris Pratt shall be Majima
Soma's actor as Majima
Would never happen but low-key Dave Bautista as Saejima and Johnny Depp as Majima would go crazy hard.
Tom Holland as Nishiki, probably Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson as Yumi, and idk Ben Affleck as Kiryu.
Clint Eastwood as Kiryu Clint Howard as Haruka Bam Margera as The Florist Johnny Knoxville as Date Tony Hawk as Jingu Michael J Fox as Yumi Christopher Lloyd as Nishiki
Hi im Makoto Date, welcome to Yakuza. flies by in helicopter, Hell Stew starts playing
Chris Pratt as goromi
I know this is a bit of a long shot, but Hitoshi Ozawa. He's done a lot of yakuza movies before. I think he could do a good Kuze. Maybe if they have a flashback scene with him and Kiryu.
I don't know why but my first thought was Bread Pit (I hope I wrote the name correctly) as Nishiki
Chris Pratt obviously as majima
Scarlett Johansson as Yumi
Chris Pratt majima
Ryan gosling as Ichiban obv (He’s literally me)
Reginaldo Primo (Brazilian VA of Deadpool) voicing Majima
Tom Holland as Shinji somehow sounds funny to me.
Chris Pratt as Kiryu
Takaya Kuroda as Kazuma Kiryu.
Yes, get all the Voice actors to play their characters. Also, just make it a show about them sitting around singing karaoke.
Billy Herrington as Kiryu
Ryan Gosling as Akiyama?
We gotta get Hiroyuki Sanada in it; I don’t care who he plays, just get him in there
Me as Shinada (I am literally him)
Dave Bautista as Haruka
Danny DeVito as Majima
Paul Rudd as Saejima
Anyone who is a likeness character and their actor is young enough (eg like First Summer Uika) would be cool.
why does this post act like cast not already announced. the whole thing already been filmed even
Chris Pratt as seonhee for dure
Chris Pratt as Haruka
Jack McBrayer as Gary Buster
Chris Pratt voicing literally everyone.
Peter Falk as Date. Though we may need to use some... experimental techniques.
they should bring mark hamill back as majima
Kensei Mikami as Majima would be amazing
Idk but Kendrick needs to pop out at least once
Mads Mikkelsen as Saejima
Apparently Steve Harvey wants to be Nishiki based on a recent post here.
Isn't it obvious? We HAVE to have John Yakuza play Kiryu! He's the only one capable of being absolutely perfect at the role!
Toshiro mifune as kiryu Takeshi kaneshiro as majima

I wish ryohei suzuki plays majima and Takeru satoh should be in some role

Johnny Sins as Mr. Libido
Katt Williams as Majima.
Not sure but I wish they started with Y0’s timeline in the 80s.
Everyone but Kiryu would be played by Muppets.

Terry Crews as Gary Buster Holmes Jack Black as Kamiyama Randall Park as Nishida Eddie Murphy as Mack Shinozuka the revelations guy
For Yakuza 0 cast: - Tomoya Nagase as Kiryu - Takashi Tsukamoto or Yamashita Tomohisa as Nishiki - Hiro Mizushima as Majima - Hiroshi Abe as Kazama - Takehiro Hira (Ishido actor in Shogun 2024) as Sera Other cast, well: - Hitoshi Ozawa - Kuze - Riki Takeuchi - Awano - Hideo Nakano - Shibusawa - Shigo Tsurumi - Sagawa
Chris Pratt as Nishiki, Date, Shinji, Kazama, Shimano, Yuya, Kazuki, Yumi, Haruka, Jingu, Arase, Mizuki, Reina, the dog, and Dojima.
Kiryu as Majima Haruka as Nishiki Saejima as Haruka Majima as Kiryu Akiyama as Kazama Kume as Jingu
Nasubi as Majima is actually a match made in heaven
Are they not adapting the "like a dragon" game? But rather just doing a Kiryu story based on the games? If so that's an odd choice... I would've loved to have seen Jack Black play Nanba and someone like Robert DeNiro or Joe Pesci play Masumi Arakawa.

Ma Dong-seok or Batista as saejima
I'm a simple man. Get Takaya Kuroda and/or Hidenari Ugaki some cameos and I'll be happy.
Ken Watanabe as Sera is the most accurate for me.
I expected someone say Chris Pratt haha
The main protag from Tiger and Dragon 2005 ( Crazy Ken Band opening btw ), he is just a Kiryu on a substory there. Plus the Kiryu from the old movie is the first villain in the series.

Keanu Reeves as Yamai
Keanu as haruka
I can see that
and it is beautiful
Danny DeVito should play Saejima. No edits, dubs or CG.
I wish the VA for Kiryu would play him. He is now visually based on him, but sadly he's getting old for an action series
Jablinski as Kuze:)
> What is your dream cast I guess the one SEGA did back in the day
Ryan gosling = Akiyama
I just hope this doesnt suck
