Recently, Sega revealed three new sub characters and their voice actors for the Yakuza New Chapter: Black Panther PSP game, produced by Toshihiro Nagoshi. It takes place in the same world as the old Yakuza series, but stars a younger protagonist, Tatsuya Ukyo. Sega weaved in 5 hours of voiced cut scenes in between the jaw breaking punches and shin kicking action so you’ll get to know Tatsuya really well.

Let’s take a look at the newly announced characters below:

Yurika -
Beautiful, cunning and elegant, Yurika is Kamurocho’s supreme hostess, and is in employment at the hostess club ‘JeweL’. Voiced by Chiaki Takahashi, she’s requested by VIPs from all over the world, but at present, there’s no man who is adequate enough to call her their own. Also, she’ll apparently treat Tatsuya like a kid.
Chiaki -
Voiced by Asami Imai, she is a reporter attempting to gather enough information on the Tojo Clan and expose their crimes. She infiltrated a Kamurocho hostess club in order to conduct private investigations and is known to obtain information through her observation skills.
Shou Hyuga -
Shou serves as an antagonist to Tatsuya in a tournament called ‘Dragon Heat’. His matches are constantly popular due to his ‘wrestling’ fighting style. He’s also known as the Treasure of Dragon Heat and is voiced by Takeshi Maeda.
Florist of Sai -
Appearing in all the past Yakuza games, he is a notorious professional informant who controls the lawless land of Sai thought his network of spies. His name comes from the fact that he would send information in flower bouquets. Voiced by Yoshiaki Fujiwara in the game, Tatsuya will approach the Florist, demanding for information about something, or maybe a certain ’someone.’
The game is due to be released on September 22 in Japan, however Sega hasn’t talked about an American release yet.
