Goro Majima is one of the main characters in SEGA's Like a Dragon (Ryū ga Gotoku, formerly known as Yakuza in the west) franchise. He is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Haruka Sawamura) of the Yakuza Saga and later returns as a supporting character in the Like a Dragon Saga.
He was one of the most feared men in Tojo Clan, partly due to how unpredictable he can be, which caused him to be known as the "Mad Dog of Shimano". He is a close friend and arch-rival of Kazuma Kiryu, the former patriarch of the Majima Family, and the former captain of the Shimano Family, led by the late Futoshi Shimano.
Although he started off as an antagonist in the first game, being one of Kiryu's major enemies, he later became more of an anti-hero as the series went on.
In Japanese, he is voiced by Hidenari Ugaki. In English, he was voiced by Mark Hamill in the original Yakuza and Matthew Mercer in Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Biography[]
Yakuza[]
In Yakuza, Majima is the patriarch of the Majima Family in the Tojo Clan and a captain who ran his own crew in the Shimano Family. He is first seen with some of his underlings after Kiryu beats up one of the Majima Family men for attacking him. Majima attempts to kill the man for disrespecting Kiryu only for the latter to request him not to. Majima obeys this request but warns Kiryu that once he gets his own family he must not be merciful on his underlings. He requests to fight Kiryu but he refuses. He proceeds to attack Kiryu several times in the hope of persuading him to grant his request to no prevail. Kiryu tells Majima he will never fight him unless he has a reason to. Majima takes this as a challenge to create reasons for Kiryu to fight him and excitedly walks off with his minions.
When Kiryu returns to Kamurocho after being in jail for ten years, Majima approaches Kiryu and claims he has gotten weak after serving his time. Kiryu determined to prove Majima wrong agrees to fight him and Majima bests Kiryu.
Majima sends his minions to abduct Haruka Sawamura to which they do. Majima and his minions then lock Haruka in a room in the batting cages and wait for Kiryu to arrive and try to rescue her. When Kiryu finally arrives Majima is hit in the head with a baseball. He and all his minions except for one laugh maniacally at this. Majima takes a baseball bat and whacks the minion who didn't laugh for not appreciating the humor. Majima and the remaining minions then fight Kiryu only for the latter to be victorious. One of the minions tries to run Kiryu through with a dagger but Majima puts himself in the way and aggressively states that Kiryu is his friend. The minions then carry Majima to the hospital.
A long time after this, Majima having fully recovered witnessed several ex Dojima Family members stalking Kiryu and prepares a cab to take Kiryu to a dock by the ocean for his own safety. Majima texts Kiryu to warn him of the stalkers and tells him to get into the cab. When Kiryu arrives at the dock Majima is already there and reveals he took him there so that the stalkers would follow and he and Kiryu could beat them up together. The stalkers arrive and Kiryu and Majima engage in combat with them. At the end of the fight Majima falls into the sea.
Majima is next seen driving a truck into a building Kiryu and Haruka are in. He sends his minions into the building to fight Kiryu, only for him to defeat them. Eventually, Kiryu encounters Majima and they fight once again. Again Kiryu defeats Majima and leaves the building with Haruka.
After his former patriarch Shimano dies, Majima tells Kiryu that he won't be going to get revenge on him, and future fights between them would not be because of Shimano's death.
