Yakuza 0 is the prequel to Yakuza + Yakuza Kiwami. The game tells the story from two points of view, Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima. Kiryu is only 20 years old and has been working for the Kazama family under the founder Shintaro Kazama who Kiryu and his best friend Akira Nishikiyama see as a father. After being framed for a murder Kiryu decides to leave the family since he does not wish to be a burden to Kazama or any of his friends. After leaving Kiryu seeks out the people who framed him but in doing so uncovers a dark plot within the Tojo clan itself.
Goro Majima is a former member of the Shimano family, founded and run by Futoshi Shimano. After being found guilty of betraying the clan Majima was tortured and exiled to Sotenbori and has been a prisoner to Shimano's Oath brother Tsukasa Sagawa, a patriarch under the Omi alliance (rival Yakuza to the Tojo clan), Majima is tasked with being the Manager of the Cabaret Grand and hopes to one day earn his way back to the Tojo clan. One Day Tsukasa asks Majima to assassinate someone and promises Majima if he pulls it off he will be forgiven of his past sins and be welcomed back to the Tojo clan, however Majima soon learns that there is more to this hit then he realised.
How do Kiryu and Majima's stories link to each other, you’ll have to play the game to find out.
