Unlock the full potential of Kiryu's signature Dragon of Dojima style in Yakuza Kiwami 3. Learn combos, Heat Actions, and weapon usage to dominate enemies.

The Dragon of Dojima Style is Kiryu's main signature fighting style, known for its powerful bare-handed combat and versatility. This iteration in Yakuza Kiwami 3 starts simple but remains potent, allowing Kiryu to crush enemies with a combination of punches. Unlike previous versions, this style uniquely enables Kiryu to use picked-up weapons and guard with his arms. It also incorporates skills and abilities reminiscent of other RGG protagonists, such as parrying like Yagami and Tanimura, powerful spinning attacks and kicks similar to Yagami's Crane Style or Akiyama's style, and throws like Saejima. Even his heavy attacks can be charged, similar to Saejima's style.
