Sub-Pages

Judgment Leftovers Leftovers from the spin-off Judgment, developed at the same time as this title.

Unused Stages

st_o_roof_date

An seemingly early version of the rooftop used for Sayama & Kiryu's date. There are minor greeble assets missing from the rooftop building at the back, as well as missing air conditioning units to the side. Additionally, the textures used for the buildings do not line up to the version called in the actual game; using a brick texture as opposed to a more smooth concrete. The used version is counted as part of Sotenbori (st_osaka), and is named bg_roof_date.

Yakuza 6 Leftovers

Soft on Demand JAV Idol Images

These posters were used in Yakuza 6 in the net cafe, where Kiryu could have a "video chat" with JAV actresses Yua Mikami and Anri Okita. The kanji means 'temporary,' suggesting they were brought over as placeholders for Kiwami 2, potentially to be used in Beam.

'Blue Jacket' Kiryu

An image of Kiryu, wearing a blue jacket from the demo version of Yakuza 6. This appears to also be taken at the same spot where hostesses would have confessions with Kiryu.

Test Image

Some kind of test image featuring Kiyomi Kasahara from Yakuza 6. This image appears there several times too; as a placeholder for mini game explanation screens, mostly.

Haruka Sawamura Idol Pic

Leftover from a Yakuza 6 substory is a photo of Haruka Sawamura as an idol. Haruka has not yet mastered time-travel in Kiwami 2, so this goes unused.

Crayon Drawing

Another leftover from the same substory mentioned above, which is a crayon drawing of Kiryu, idol Haruka and another child.

Riona Ichijo

Seemingly a placeholder for AIKA and what would be a unique head accessory for her.

Yakuza 6 Leftovers

All taken from the video chat mini game. Interestingly, Takayuki Yagami has 'unique' animations for this too; though they are just copies of Kiryu's.
