* DatingSim: Played with in the first two games. The first and second game had an optional series of [[SideQuest side quests]] where Kazuma could visit the local hostess clubs and woo a collection of lovely ladies for HundredPercentCompletion and some neat bonuses which includes [[ExperiencePoints XP]], sometimes very valuable items, and photo portraits of the women. In the second game, Kazuma can also optionally help out the hapless employees of a host club getting screwed over by their boss... by signing on as the newest employee and working to become the Number One Host as a gambit to root out the boss from hiding.

The hostess clubs return in western release of the fourth game (at least for Akiyama, Tanimura, and Kazuma).
