well she has a complete Hana-ya/florist style network now It's pretty safe to say she is returning in Either the Judment series or the Like a dragon series ^^
She seems just as fun in real life as her character was in the game. Her going to the hostess audition not knowing she had already been cast as Akame was hilarious.
Is actually pretty funny the fact they literally offered her a much bigger role just days after she, clueless to this, appeared in the hostess audition to try a part.
scary how accurate she looks in the game, but something told me not to get attached. it's a little hard to do that, when a character with charisma like that grows on you. but the lesson we should learn by now, never get too attached, because there's a good chance you won't see them again.
I love her so much. For a long time kiwami 2 was my favorite but damn if Gaiden hasn’t sweeped the top three Yakuza games up. Love the game and Akame to death. I need her to come back. I for real wanted her and Kiryu… I-I mean Joryu Jozuma to be a thing low key(sorry Karou 😅 I love you too but I can’t help myself).
Spoilers for Infinite Wealth! Why she didn't return in it as even a side story type of deal (Even mentioning her would be enough) is beyond me. Just like Ryudo family from 3, Tanimura from 4 and Shinada from 5, Akame is just for ONE game and then completely forgotten about in the NEXT game. Really getting sick of RGG doing this in the series.
I like that she was an ally and not a romantic interest! And a great one at that. I think they admire each other in the game and it’s a nice relationship. Especially after they did Saeko dirty like that.
I wouldn't say that. Yakuza 7's English VA is actually pretty good imho. The first PS2 game on the other hand is a hilariously bad motherf*ckin' motherf*cker.
@@adrenaliner91i actually really really love the en cast for both like a dragon and judgement, i will say it was slightly jarring to hear majima and other returning characters sound different but it's not bad. Plus i can just watch Ray narvaez play it in japanese after i finish my playthrough.
I can still hear her "Joryu!" in my mind lol. Loved her performance
LOUDLY lol
Her voice acting was superb as Akame
LMAO
Akame was such a popular character that they made her in real life
She is a former idol and has been famous in Japan for a long time. She appears on many Japanese TV shows.
Having now finished the game, her character was one of the best in the series. I really do hope we see Akame again.
well she has a complete Hana-ya/florist style network now
It's pretty safe to say she is returning in Either the Judment series or the Like a dragon series ^^
i don’t know about the series, but the game for sure
Well we ain’t seeing her again sorry bro
@@Zephhi *me when I spread misinformation on the internet*
@@gnerus1972 Nope
That “Oi, Akame” 😂😂😂
She leaves such a strong impression. So charismatic. Did an amazing job in the game.
And it also happens that her real name is DOJIMA Uika. Got that Tojo connection going on.
DOJIMA??
I was surprised that her last name is called Dojima in her real name
I love the irony of life.
Wow her charisma is off the charts. Can't wait to jump back into some Kiryu action
I think it'll be a while before we get to play as him for now, but that Joryu character is still pretty cool
😢
Best new character introduced to the series in a minute.
That "JORYU!" is still living in my mind lol
She seems just as fun in real life as her character was in the game. Her going to the hostess audition not knowing she had already been cast as Akame was hilarious.
great character, great VA, her singing also awesome.
She is a former idol and has been famous in Japan for a long time.
That studio and their crew are so badass...Honestly most badass people in gaming world.
Glad she's apart of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise. Can't wait to play the game!
Ofc! She is Uika Dojima....
Not a joke
i love when games preserve their voice actors look and add it into the game
I’ve noticed that she really pronounces everything so clearly
"JORYU!" i still can't get that out of my mind.
She started from applying for the Live Hostess Audition and turned into being part of the main cast is honestly impressive!
Is actually pretty funny the fact they literally offered her a much bigger role just days after she, clueless to this, appeared in the hostess audition to try a part.
@@moisesfreire6408 and failed lol
@@sexybrathuhnmitsose probably failed her because they had already given her that bigger role that she had no idea of at the time
@@Zerovin yee probably

OI JORYU ! ~Akame 2023
Loved this! Thank you for the upload!
“JORRYYU”
Joryuuu!
I will love to see her again in the next ryu ga gotoku game !!❤❤❤
really can't wait for Joryu's adventure!
"Joryu!!"
That Kansai-ben of her's is spot on!
spot on?
She originally speaks Kansai dialect.
her "Like a Butterfly" singing is perfection
JORYU!
Man, I can't wait to hear her beautiful waveforms in the game.
@@twentyzeroone2764 why should he, i thought the joke was funny
@@twentyzeroone2764watch the entire interview
@@twentyzeroone2764lmao people just take so seriously in a normal joke
@@twentyzeroone2764somebody didn't watch the video
Gaijin are weird
Akame was a very well executed and voiced character.
She’s one of my new favorites. I hope to see more of her
SHE IS LOVELY, keep her for different roles. Totally makes this game better by having her.
Holy cow First Summer Uika is in this? Between K-Son and now this, my interests are all weirdly crossing over. BiS ftw!
Her voice is strong, I love it!
Agreed just loved her voice tone and that accent when singing and kansai dialogue
so true, her voice doesn't have imperfections lmfao. It just flows lmfao
Her voice does have the best clarity
うわー、待ちきれません！龍が如くは史上最高のゲームです! 🌀
I just played it and i instantly fell in love with akame`s voice and character, she really brighten up the shady vibe of an underground informant.
0:41
A wild Unagi on the second left!
She definitely stands out as Akame.
JORYU !!!!
She seems like such a fun person to be around. She has a nice energy and Akame was a great addition to the game.
I love her so much. For a long time kiwami 2 was my favorite but damn if Gaiden hasn’t sweeped the top three Yakuza games up. Love the game and Akame to death. I need her to come back. I for real wanted her and Kiryu… I-I mean Joryu Jozuma to be a thing low key(sorry Karou 😅 I love you too but I can’t help myself).
Her real name is Dojima Uika. Woah...
I wouldn't mind a Akame hostess, but well, since they've already decided the role for her..its still great!
she killed it fr
Akame is the new favorite character,,i hope Kaoru Sayama will get the highlight anymore not just as cameo
"Joryu!"
She is now the best yakuza girl for me❤
Best female character in the series tbh. Really charming and well voiced!
Yes her voice really catchy and that voice tone.. and kansai dialog really get me into her.. and her vocal in like a butterfly just superb
Such a cool lady. Really enjoying Akame in Gaiden!
best girl ong
She's real name is 堂島(DOUJIMA) lol
Akame reminds me of Miss Tatsu from Yakuza 0. A bit hard headed and rough around the edges.
i don't even want to watch these videos before I played the game so I get the true experience first.. so hyped!!
We need more Akame!
shes a star and i usually need a dub but i was drawn to watch this interview from the west and she has great energy
"JORYU !!! "
I love her voice, and her kansai dialect so strong I didn't even recognize the japanese at times lol
The words used in standard Japanese and Kansai dialect are not very different, just the intonation is different
need an adventure game with Akame, Majima, Ichiban and Kaito - Like a Dragon Shenanigans
UIPON BROS WE WON
Akame needs a game of its own, or at least make her one of the playable character.
Oi, Akame!
Jooooryu
JORYU
Akame ❤❤❤
Akame is BEST GIRL!!
dang she's prettyyy. Joryuuu
They only give us interface and subtitles translated to other languages about Yakuza Ryu Ga Gotoku
She's great 🥰
Anyone else think she's mad cute? I really liked Akame in the game too.
Wait! Her last name is Dojima??
Is this Daigo’s long lost relative?
Joryuuuu
Akame!
Spoilers for Infinite Wealth!
Why she didn't return in it as even a side story type of deal (Even mentioning her would be enough) is beyond me. Just like Ryudo family from 3, Tanimura from 4 and Shinada from 5, Akame is just for ONE game and then completely forgotten about in the NEXT game. Really getting sick of RGG doing this in the series.
she was such a great character too
spits out cereal
The sad thing akame never knew kiryuu real name
Best gal
!!!JORYU!!!
i love the accent
SHE'S PERFECT
Akame is bae
Akame best girl
So they can find the right VA for the job
Akame in real life??!!? 😱 Joryu will never come 😤
she was good in Joshimental
her voice is so hot
I love akame LOL and her hick self
First Summer Uika? Is that some form of on-screen name?
It's just a stage name, her real name is Uika Dojima.
Yep, thought so, thanks!
@@oscarprudencio1799holy shit, she's part of the Dojima family irl
I like that she was an ally and not a romantic interest! And a great one at that. I think they admire each other in the game and it’s a nice relationship. Especially after they did Saeko dirty like that.
Oi
Its funny how they gave her that old woman sounding laugh when akames lines aren’t voiced.
japanese VA for yakuza series is the best ,, english suck
I wouldn't say that. Yakuza 7's English VA is actually pretty good imho. The first PS2 game on the other hand is a hilariously bad motherf*ckin' motherf*cker.
We are still getting a dub.
Suck it

She looks korean...
I got so sick of hearing, "JORYU!" and then reading walls of text. Worst Yakuza game.
You were a great friend to Joryu! 🙏❤️🤍
JORYU!
"Joryu!"
JORYU
JORYU!
