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, and its intricate characters and storylines are legendary among fans.
We're here to spotlight some incredible cosplay, featuring cosplayer Shimotsuki Yukari (@yukarishimotuki) as Goro Majima's cross-dressing persona, "Goromi," from the "Like a Dragon" series. Her powerful portrayal and spot-on costume have earned massive praise from netizens, with her overall aura being an incredibly faithful recreation.
Goromi first appeared in "Yakuza Kiwami," the remake of the original "Yakuza." It's Goro Majima himself, cross-dressing to playfully torment Kazuma Kiryu and introducing himself as "Goromi." Anyone who's played the game will surely remember this iconic moment.
Coser Shimotsuki Yukari recently attended Tokyo Game Show, where she caused a stir at the "Like a Dragon" booth. Her masterful and accurate cosplay was, of course, the reason, captivating countless attendees. Not only did she nail the look and vibe, but her bashful yet slightly arrogant demeanor had everyone exclaiming that she *is* Goromi!
Check out the on-site video—it's clear this "Goromi" is absolutely serving fierce diva vibes!
She also recently posted on X, using the hashtag "#PutYourCosplayNextToTheOriginal" (原作の隣に自分のコスを貼る). The uncanny resemblance makes it impossible to tell them apart!
But don't let this incredible transformation fool you—Shimotsuki Yukari can also pull off some seriously cool male characters. If you love her cosplay, be sure to check out her X account for more amazing work!
