Majima fans have been waiting years for the Mad Dog of Shimano to make his return as a main story character. After his protagonist run in Yakuza 0, the Majima Everywhere system in Yakuza Kiwami, and the short-lived but very satisfying saga ending in Yakuza Kiwami 2, fans of the beloved character have probably spent a chunk of their free time screenshotting and recording every frame of his appearances in the games, holding on to the little moments we can have with him.
The years of waiting around have finally come to an end. Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) studio has released a seven-minute announcement trailer of its newest title Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii where Majima shines again, and this time as the sole protagonist. Even though RGG has been releasing full-length games almost yearly, even longtime fans probably weren't expecting another game so soon or predicting Majima to return as a protagonist and a pirate.

As we saw in the trailer released last weekend, the game takes place six months after the events in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Majima wakes up on a beach with no memory of how he got there or even his name. He is approached by a young boy, Noah (and his pet "cat" that is definitely a tiger) who tells him they are on an island near Hawaii called "Rich Island," before the duo are quickly confronted by pirates.
