SEGA's Like a Dragon series practically invented the Japanese yakuza game genre. Since its debut in 2005, it's spawned over a dozen spin-offs, captivating players with its intricate character designs and sprawling storylines.
Now, as the series hits its 20-year milestone, SEGA is celebrating with its first major exhibition: the "Like a Dragon Ceremonies of Life Exhibition." Set to take over Shibuya, Tokyo, and Nanko, Osaka, the entire event revolves around the theme of "ceremonies of life," promising a lineup of unprecedented, wild experiences.
One of the exhibition's most eye-catching highlights? A dream wedding experience with your favorite game characters! Fans can pose for wedding photos, sharing their big day with the Like a Dragon character they've always adored. Talk about a unique treat for series enthusiasts!
But wait, there's more! The "Funeral" section is even more mind-blowing. They're bringing back the wildly popular "Character Funeral Experience" from the 2023 "Fallen Heroes Exhibition," and it's been fully upgraded! Attendees can step into a scene straight out of the game, feeling like they're truly attending the farewell for those "men who sacrificed for their honor." This kind of "over-the-top tribute" could only come from the Like a Dragon series.

"Funeral": The character funeral experience, an immersive memorial performance.
"Festival": Raise a toast with the passionate men of the series and snap photos in recreated iconic scenes.
Plus, the venue will feature a treasure trove of rare materials and exclusive merchandise, allowing visitors to "see, touch, and experience" the full 20-year charm of the series.
