Sega released on December 1 two new "Yakuza 6" TV commercials in Japan; both have scenes showing an angry Takeshi Kitano. The PS4 game, called "Yakuza 6: The Song of Life" seem to be capitalizing on Kitano being one of the Yakuza Boss, since the actor/director is a legend in Japan.

The first TV commercial of the game shows the story of Kazuma Kiryu, who moved from Kamurocho in Tokyo to Onomichi Kingaicho in the Hiroshima Prefecture. Both of these locations are fictional. He sets on a journey the new place to discover what really happened with Haruka, Dual Shocker reported.

The second commercial shows most of the new characters of the game. It also shows the original main characters Kazuma Kriyu and Haruka, who are mainstays in the game since the first instalment. Takeshi Kitano's Toru Hirose is a local Yakuza boss in the game, and is emphasized in both commercials.

Takeshi Kitano's Significance
