![]() However, these characters, apart from their looks and their voices, are their own individuals separate from their mainline counterparts. Even Ryoma himself has the face and voice of series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. Is a pattern starting to emerge here? If it wasn’t obvious already, there is indeed: the story of Ishin has players meet and interact with key figures of the Bakumatsu period, from politicians to retainers to legendary swordsmen, only this time reimagined as LaD characters. Of course, real Japanese historical figure Saito Hajime was also a high-ranking member of the shinsengumi, but he's individually separated from Ryoma altogether in the game. In Ishin, Ryoma ventures from Tosa to Kyo under the alias Saito Hajime to find the one responsible for the murder of someone close to him, and it is in Kyo he infiltrates the ranks of the shinsengumi, an elite police force serving under the shogunate. In Ishin, Ryoma’s journey diverges and converges with his real-life counterpart. Real-life Sakamoto Ryoma was regarded as one of the most influential figures of Japanese history who aided Japan modernization by negotiating the resignation of then-Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu in 1867. Players assume the role of Sakamoto Ryoma, a low-ranking samurai from Tosa (now Kochi Prefecture) based on the real Japanese historical figure of the same name. Set in 1866, Ishin marks a departure from staple locations such as Tokyo and Osaka to Kyo (now Kyoto), which was at that time the capital city of Japan. As a result, Japan was majorly split into two factions: those seeking to restore the emperor’s rule over Japan and those fighting to keep the shogunate in the seat of power. Originally a Japan-exclusive PS4 title released in 2014, Ishin takes place during Japan’s Bakumatsu period (1853–1867), a turbulent period in the nation's history marked by the arrival of foreign presence and social unrest stemming from dissatisfaction towards the ruling military government, the Tokugawa Shogunate. ![]() Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.Like a Dragon: Ishin! has become a new entry point to the Like a Dragon (LaD) series thanks to its brilliant take on the acclaimed series formula in a setting uniquely detached from its complex main storyline.
