Goro Majima

Goro Majima is a Yakuza and recurring major character in the Like a Dragon series. Known as the Mad Dog of Shimano, he alternates between unpredictable violence, strategic calculation, and fierce loyalty.

Goro Majima behind the Mad Dog persona

Theatrical, fearless, and deliberately chaotic, Majima uses madness as a persona that protects independence and intimidates enemies. Earlier stories reveal restraint, trauma, and sacrifice beneath that performance.

Knife combat, Saejima, and rivalry with Kiryu

Majima fights with a knife, acrobatics, street weapons, and several combat styles. His history with Taiga Saejima, attachment to Makoto Makimura, and obsessive rivalry with Kazuma Kiryu define different stages of his life across the timeline.
