[[quoteright:228:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yakuza2.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:228:The moment the series [[GrowingTheBeard Grew The Beard]]]]
''Yakuza 2'' aka ''Like a Dragon 2'' (龍が如く2 "Ryū ga Gotoku 2") is the sequel to the [[VideoGame/{{Yakuza1}} first]] ''[[VideoGame/{{Yakuza1}} Yakuza]]'' game for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, released in December 7, 2006 in Japan and September 9/19, 2008 in NA/Europe, as part of Sega's ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' series.
The game focuses on the former yakuza Kazuma Kiryu who receives a request for help from his former group, the Tojo Clan, to keep relationships with the eastern group, the Omi Family, stable. He is also assigned to gain the help of his late bosses son, Daigo Dojima, and convince him to take charge of the Tojo and become their new chairman. Across Kazuma's journey he crosses paths with Kaoru Sayama, an Osakan cop known as the "Yakuza Eater", and the Omi's "Kansai Dragon", Ryuji Goda, who seeks to be the [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne one true dragon in Japan]], all while learning of a Korean mafia group linked with the Omi Family and his own past. The story is full of conspiracies, havock, brawls, all tightly wrapped up in a crime noir setting.
''Yakuza 2'' expands on its predecessor by having two cities to explore this time around, Kamurocho and Sōtenbori and Shinseicho areas modeled after Osaka's respective Dōtonbori and Shinsekai districts. Along with an improved combat engine, ''Yakuza 2'' felt like a more complete version of the first game. What ''Yakuza 2'' is best remembered for is its deeper, more adult storyline that featured a full-blown love story and several themes completely absent from the original title.
The last title in the series for the [=PS2=], the series would make the jump to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 with the feudal spin-off ''Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan!''. Kazuma Kiryu's story would continue in ''VideoGame/Yakuza3''. The game was later given an HD CompilationRerelease [[NoExportForYou in Japan]] along with its predecessor in 2012 for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/WiiU.

Sengoku is quite surprised to see Ryuji Goda waiting there for them all with a [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] over his shoulder. After commiserating with Kazuma's plight, Goda responds to Sengoku's mouthing off by cutting a deep gash in his chest. At that point, Ryuji makes it clear abducting Haruka was in poor taste. That might have been it if Sengoku actually had common sense and kept quiet. Instead, he [[TooDumbToLive spits out]] that Ryuji only got far because of his [[{{Nepotism}} father]]. Ryuji [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry had enough of Sengoku at that point]], stabbing him with the katana and pushing him to the balcony before kicking him off the top of the Golden Palace. He then lets Kazuma leave with Haruka, but makes it clear that there would be a huge brawl between the Omi and the Tojo in one day.]]

* {{Flashback}}: Several, mostly related to the Jingweon Massacre and the various characters' involvement in it, including those killed in the previous game.
* FlashbackNightmare: The game begins with one, with Kazuma dreaming about the final moments of the people he lost in the first game.
* GratuitousNinja: Kazuma encounters shinobi on his way through Osaka Castle.
* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Toranosuke Sengoku. Plus, not to forget the mooks who will harass Kazuma when he is roaming around Sotonbori.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: Ryuji Goda, Goro Majima, Toranosuke Sengoku and most of the characters from Osaka. The English subtitles translate their accents into [[DeepSouth southern English]].
* LadyOfWar: Yayoi Dojima.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: A rare example by Kazuma. [[spoiler: As a teenager, he inadvertently ruined Fuma/Kazama's attempt to put a stop to the Jingweon Massacre, who was negotiating with its leader and urging them to escape while Shimano was offing the others. Kiryu had followed Fuma/Kazama fearing something was wrong, but when he saw his father figure at gunpoint, Kiryu feared the worst and attacked, which forced Fuma/Kazama to shoot the leader so Kiryu wouldn't be killed. It was only then that poor Kiryu realized what was really happening]].
* NobleDemon: Ryuji Goda. See EvenEvilHasStandards above.
* OddCouple: Former yakuza Kazuma Kiryu and Osakan cop Kaoru Sayama.
* OutOfFocus: Haruka compared to the first game. After Terada is killed right in front of her, she decides to go back to the Sunflower Orphanage and let Uncle Kaz sort things out between the clans, which leaves her absent for a good portion of the game. She's brought back into the foray when Sengoku kidnaps her later on, but Kazuma still keeps her out of action considering the danger involved.
* PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou: When Kazuma realizes he may be responsible for the deaths of Kaoru's parents (see NiceJobBreakingItHero above), he tells her to take her gun and shoot him. She tells him to [[HonorBeforeReason drop the tough guy act]] and says killing him won't accomplish anything.
* PressXToNotDie: During the [[spoiler: last battle's last QTE, you have to press a button to CrossCounter Ryuji's MegatonPunch. If you fail you lose [[OneHitKO ALL YOUR REMAINING LIFE]] at once and in EX-HARD difficulty, it means restarting the chapter all over again]]. The timing in ''Yakuza 2'' is very strict too.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Jin Goda, Yayoi Dojima, Osamu Kashiwagi and many more.

The red ones are [[RichBastard Toranosuke]] [[TheIdiotFromOsaka Sengoku]] and [[NobleDemon Ryuji]] [[HotBlooded Goda]]; the blue ones are [[TheStoic Jin Goda]] and [[WellIntentionedExtremist Ryo]] [[TheChessmaster Takashima]].

* RuthlessForeignGangsters: The Jingweon Mafia.
* TheStarScream: [[spoiler: Koji Shindo betrays the Tojo Clan to Sengoku]].

* VictoryFakeout: Happens in the fight against [[spoiler: Shindo. When Kiryu goes to check on Daigo and Kashiwagi, Shindo sneaks up from behind him and has to be fought again, but he goes down much quicker]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Kazuma gets chewed out by Haruka when he agrees to leave her in the hands of a TV producer without telling her. Although he does it thinking [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies she'll only be exposed to danger with him around]], she tells him she's happy with him, and if he leaves her, she'll find him again.
* TheWorfEffect: Once Kiryu is targeted by the Amon Clan, Jo Amon defeats Sotaro Komaki and takes off with his ultimate technique to lure out Kiryu.
* WouldHitAGirl: Poor Kaoru. First, she gets shot early in the game. Later, she gets punched out twice by some thugs, with Kiryu coming to her rescue both times and giving her attackers a much deserved beatdown. She also fights alongside Kiryu, but can hold her own.
* YourCheatingHeart:
** Shindo reveals to Yayoi Dojima that her former husband had his way many mistresses behind her back. She's not only aware, but still remains faithful to him.
** Kiryu bumps into Kage's son Takashi again, who fears his girlfriend Kyoka is cheating on him and seeing someone else on the side. [[spoiler: She's meeting up with her father to loan some money, since Takashi can't maintain a job and she refuses to leave him]].

Kazuma Kiryu's story would continue in ''VideoGame/Yakuza3''. The game was later given an HD CompilationRerelease [[NoExportForYou in Japan]] along with its predecessor in 2012 for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/WiiU.

Sengoku is quite surprised to see Ryuji Goda waiting there for them all with a [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] over his shoulder. After commiserating with Kazuma's plight, Goda responds to Sengoku's mouthing off by cutting a deep gash in his chest. At that point, Ryuji makes it clear abducting Haruka was in poor taste. That might have been it if Sengoku actually had common sense and kept quiet. Instead, he [[TooDumbToLive spits out]] that Ryuji only got far because of his [[{{Nepotism}} father]]. Ryuji [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry had enough of Sengoku at that point]], stabbing him with the katana and pushing him to the balcony before kicking him off the top of the Golden Palace.

[[spoiler: As a teenager, he inadvertently ruined Fuma/Kazama's attempt to put a stop to the Jingweon Massacre, who was negotiating with its leader and urging them to escape while Shimano was offing the others. Kiryu had followed Fuma/Kazama fearing something was wrong, but when he saw his father figure at gunpoint, Kiryu feared the worst and attacked, which forced Fuma/Kazama to shoot the leader so Kiryu wouldn't be killed.

* OutOfFocus: Haruka compared to the first game. After Terada is killed right in front of her, she decides to go back to the Sunflower Orphanage and let Uncle Kaz sort things out between the clans, which leaves her absent for a good portion of the game. She's brought back into the foray when Sengoku kidnaps her later on, but Kazuma still keeps her out of action considering the danger involved.
* PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou: When Kazuma realizes he may be responsible for the deaths of Kaoru's parents (see NiceJobBreakingItHero above), he tells her to take her gun and shoot him. She tells him to [[HonorBeforeReason drop the tough guy act]] and says killing him won't accomplish anything.
* PressXToNotDie: During the [[spoiler: last battle's last QTE, you have to press a button to CrossCounter Ryuji's MegatonPunch. If you fail you lose [[OneHitKO ALL YOUR REMAINING LIFE]] at once and in EX-HARD difficulty, it means restarting the chapter all over again]]. The timing in ''Yakuza 2'' is very strict too.

* WhatTheHellHero: Kazuma gets chewed out by Haruka when he agrees to leave her in the hands of a TV producer without telling her. Although he does it thinking [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies she'll only be exposed to danger with him around]], she tells him she's happy with him, and if he leaves her, she'll find him again.
* TheWorfEffect: Once Kiryu is targeted by the Amon Clan, Jo Amon defeats Sotaro Komaki and takes off with his ultimate technique to lure out Kiryu.
* WouldHitAGirl: Poor Kaoru. First, she gets shot early in the game. Later, she gets punched out twice by some thugs, with Kiryu coming to her rescue both times and giving her attackers a much deserved beatdown. She also fights alongside Kiryu, but can hold her own.
* YourCheatingHeart:
** Shindo reveals to Yayoi Dojima that her former husband had his way many mistresses behind her back. She's not only aware, but still remains faithful to him.
** Kiryu bumps into Kage's son Takashi again, who fears his girlfriend Kyoka is cheating on him and seeing someone else on the side. [[spoiler: She's meeting up with her father to loan some money, since Takashi can't maintain a job and she refuses to leave him]].
