  • Colbert Bump: The game enjoyed one courtesy of Two Best Friends Play, who did a playthrough of the entire game. The playlist of 39 videos can be found here on Youtube. The playthrough was actually credited in part by the localization team to be proof of the Western audience's interest in the series at the time it was finishednote , partially laying groundwork for the later Newbie Boom Yakuza would enjoy with 0 onwards.
  • First Appearance: Kōichi Yamadera as Shun Akiyama and Rikiya Koyama as Taiga Saejima, who would go on to appear in subsequent Yakuza games until 6.
  • The Other Darrin: For the PS4 remaster, Toshiki Masuda provides his likeness and voice for Masayoshi Tanimura, taking over from his original voice actor Hiroki Narimiya, who had retired from the entertainment industry in 2016 after false allegations of using cocaine.
  • Troubled Production: In a 2017 interview for Yakuza 6, series writer Yokoyama briefly touched upon the issues that 4 faced in its production. He specifically mentions how, as a result of spending too much time on Akiyama's section, Tanimura's section had to be rushed and Kiryu's had to be altered to transition more smoothly into the finale.
  • You Sound Familiar: Kenichi Endou, Junji Sugiuchi's voice actor, previously portrayed Imanishi in the 2007 live-action film adaptation.
