	'''''Yakuza 2''''' ('''龍が如く２''' ''Ryuu ga Gotoku 2'' lit. "Like a Dragon 2") is a brawler-based action RPG for the PlayStation 2, developed and published by SEGA. It is the sequel to the first ''[[Yakuza]]'' game, coming out in December 2006 in Japan and September 2008 worldwide. An HD remaster of the first two games was also released in Japan on the PlayStation 3 in 2012 and on Wii U in 2013. An HD remake of the game, ''[[Yakuza Kiwami 2]]'', was released in 2017 in Japan and worldwide a year later on PS4, with a PC version following in early 2019. A year after going straight to look after Haruka, former Tojo Clan chairman Kazuma Kiryu is once again drawn into the yakuza underworld as an east-west war between the Tojo Clan and Osaka's Omi Alliance looms. Also, a Korean mafia group called the Jingweon has vowed to take revenge on Tokyo's red-light district Kamurocho for a massacre of their men that took place there 26 years before, threatening the safety of its residents. Unlike the original ''Yakuza'' game, there was no English dub for the western release. They ''did'' however have to re-record the Korean dialogue in this game for the Korean market as the original was deemed to be very poor.		'''''Yakuza 2''''' ('''龍が如く２''' ''Ryuu ga Gotoku 2'' lit.

	Is a ''[[Yakuza (series)\|Yakuza]]'' game without a [[Makarov PM]]-type pistol really a ''Yakuza'' game at all? In the ~~case of the original~~ games, the PM took a back seat to the Norinco Type 54 as the gangster's weapon of choice, but it can be purchased from the Beam weapon store dealer as the "9mm Semi-Automatic." A version called the "Modified Model Gun" is also given to Kiryu by its creator after he challenges Kiryu to a fight. Unlike the more generic-looking Makarovs that appear in later ''Yakuza'' games, this model is much more faithful to the original military Makarov PM.
