Wanted Men Street Killer Aramasa Location

Need to track down the Street Killer Aramasa in Like a Dragon: Ishin!? This guide shows you exactly where to find him and how to take him down, plus his partner Kyuhei.

Alright, so you've picked up the bounty for the Street Killer Aramasa in Like a Dragon: Ishin! The pamphlet points you towards Umekojicho in the southern part of Rakugai. This is going to play out a lot like the last Street Killer bounty you dealt with, so be ready for a quick-time event (QTE).

Your first encounter with Aramasa will be in an alleyway in North Umekojicho. You'll find it just north of the Shady Bar, nestled between the Arms Dealer and the Creepy Bar. As you stroll down the street, Aramasa will ambush you. Just mash that button prompt as fast as you can when it pops up to trigger the fight.

Where to Find Aramasa (First Encounter): You'll find Aramasa in the alleyway between the Creepy Bar and the Arms Dealer in Umekojicho.

This fight isn't too tough, honestly. Aramasa tends to hang out in a low stance, which usually means he's guarding or looking for an opening. Think of it as a counter-stance. The good news is he doesn't have a lot of health. You can pretty much just spam your regular swordsman combos or even just shoot him if you want to brute-force the win. Once you beat him, he'll run off, as they always do. Don't worry, you'll find him again soon.

Your second encounter with Aramasa will be on the street just southwest of the Shady Bar. Again, get ready for another QTE before the fight kicks off.

Where to Find Aramasa (Second Encounter): Head southwest from your last location, past the Shady Bar, and you'll get ambushed again.

How to Defeat Aramasa (and Kyuhei): This second fight is basically a repeat of the first one, at least initially. If you've got some Heat built up, you can use a Brawler combo to knock Aramasa down instantly. Then, quickly switch to your Swordsman style and perform a Heat Action. This will likely finish him off or get him very close to defeat.

After you take down Aramasa the second time, another Street Killer, Kyuhei, will jump in. Kyuhei uses a frontal stance, meaning he's ready for both offense and defense. Honestly, he might be even weaker than Aramasa. You can use the same tactics you used on Aramasa – just keep slashing him, and he'll go down pretty quickly.

Once both of them are defeated, you'll see they're both pretty messed up and acting erratically. You'll end up bringing them both back to the Wanted Men Headquarters. Hopefully, they'll keep a closer eye on them this time. That's how you finish this request!
