CHAPTER 1: A New Beginning
January 2007 - After the fierce struggle for supremacy against the Kansai Omi Alliance and Ryuji Goda's Go Ryu Clan, Detective Kaoru Sayama and Kazuma Kiryu go their separate ways....
Kiryu and Haruka pursue a new dream: run an orphanage in the tropical shores of Okinawa.
Kiryu and Haruka return to Kamurocho to say their goodbyes to Stardust Host Yuya and Stardust Club owner, Kazuki who is currently recovering from his injuries.
However, there is one person Kiryu has to meet before he leaves for Okinawa...The Mad Dog...Goro Majima.
Words to Know:
"ojisan"/おじさん: Japanese honorable term for "uncle"; "mister". Haruka refers to Kiryu as "ojisan" / "Uncle Kaz"
"Oniisan"/ お兄さん: "Older Brother". Since Goro Majima is four years older than Kiryu, Kiryu refers to Majima as "Majima-oniisan"/" Majima-san"
If you have any questions, I'll try to answer. Thanks.

CHAPTER 2: The Meeting
Kiryu and Haruka retreat to Okinawa, where Kiryu takes ownership of Morning Glory (Asago), an orphanage housing nine other children.
However, in March 2008
The local Ryudo Family sends two men to intimidate the orphanage. Morning Glory receives an eviction notice. Haruka and the orphans are worried they have to leave their home. Kiryu vows to track down the Ryudo Family and learn why Morning Glory Orphanage is being evicted.

CHAPTER 3: Substories
Before we proceed with the main plot of the game, Chapter 3 is the first chapter in Yakuza 3 Remastered that has Substories (Side Quests) and Side Activities (Karaoke, Gambling, Golf, Darts, Pool, etc).
The moment the chapter starts, you can clear most/all substories. You may want to hold off the Hostess Clubs for the time being since you'll need a lot of ¥. Earning money is easy: Complete Substories, Fulfil the Hitman Contracts, gamble and compete in Underground Purgatory Coliseum tournaments.
However, we won't have access to most of these features until much later on. Substories can be found by simply interacting with pedestrians or by strolling around town.
Completing them will reward Kiryu with Experience Points and money. I completed some of the substories that were absent in the Western PS3 release.

CHAPTER 3: Power Struggle/Invasion of Authority PART 1
After watching a news report about the Okinawa Resort Deal, Kiryu learns from Haruka that Shiro is feeling down after coming home from school.
It turns out Shiro is being bullied at school by his teacher’s son, Yoshinori.
Kiryu learns the city congressman, Akasaka (an acquaintance of Mr Hashimoto, Shiro’s teacher) is behind why Shiro is keeping quiet about being bullied.
By complete coincidence, Kiryu meets Akasaka at the Nanyou Country Club and they both have a casual game of golf…
Later, Kiryu overhears an argument between Taichi and Ayako.*
Ayako cannot pay back the money borrowed from Taichi because it was stolen from her wallet…

Unsho Ishizuka, who voiced Tetsuo Tamashiro in Yakuza 3 and Yoshida Toyo in Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin passed away recently. This coverage is dedicated to this prolific Japanese voice actor.
CHAPTER 3 PART 2: Power Struggle, Tetsuo Tamashiro
Rikiya of the Ryudo Family stops by the orphanage and asks Kiryu a favor.
Nakahara’s adopted daughter, Saki is missing. As a result, Nakahara is ballistic.
Rikiya adores Kiryu’s strength and courage and starts calling him “Aniki”/“Brother”.
In an act of valor, Kiryu offers to help Nakahara find Saki.
Later, Kiryu and Rikiya learn that Saki was seen in Hatsumachi with a woman who might be her estranged mother.
Kiryu and Rikiya have a skirmish with the Tamashiro Family in Hatsumachi.
After finding Saki’s sketchbook in front of the Tamashiro Family Office, Kiryu enters the hideout alone…

CHAPTER 4: Sub Stories PART 1
The moment the chapter starts, you can clear most sub stories.
Substories can be found by simply interacting with pedestrians or by strolling around town. Completing them will reward Kiryu with Experience Points and money.
I also completed some of the substories that were removed in the Western PS3 release.

Master Yonashiro Weapons Training 与那城の修行
The first master you will encounter is Master Yonashiro in chapter 4.
Master Yonashiro is a weapons expert and will teach Kazuma Kiryu the arts of the Nunchaku, Tonfa and my personal favorite, Kali Sticks.
By completing all three of Yonashiro’s weapons training, Kiryu will receive a certificate which will allow him to purchase Nunchaku, Tonfa and Kali Sticks at Kamiyama’s Weapons Shop.
Incidentally, if Kiryu acquires various weapons crafting materials and weapons crafting dossier, he can forge his own unique weapons.
-------
CHAPTER 4 PART 1: The Sketched Man
One year later in March 2009
Bewildered by Saki’s sketch of the late Shintaro Kazama, Kiryu receives a distressing phone call from Osamu Kashiwagi (Second patriarch of the Kazama Family) that Daigo Dojima (Sixth Chairman of the Tojo Clan) was shot.
To make matters worse, Daigo was shot by a gunman who allegedly was the spitting image of Shintaro Kazama. The Morning Glory Orphanage land deed is stolen.
Kiryu decides to return to Kamurocho to uncover the truth behind his foster father, Shintaro Kazama, claim the land deed and ameliorate the current situation of the Tojo Clan.
Before Kiryu leaves for Tokyo, Izumi and Mikio try to tame and befriend a stray Akita puppy. To be continued…
