Dragon of Dojima joins the Nendoroid family! Pre-orders open for new Kiryu Kazuma figure
Fans of SEGA’s iconic “Like a Dragon” series can now bring the legendary Dragon of Dojima, Kazuma Kiryu, into their collections in adorable chibi form!
Good Smile Company has officially announced the upcoming release of the Nendoroid Kiryu Kazuma figure, with pre-orders now open.
Kiryu Kazuma, the stoic yet honorable protagonist of many “Like a Dragon” (formerly known as “Yakuza” outside of Japan) titles, is renowned for his powerful fighting style, unwavering sense of justice, and surprising softer side, often showcased through his karaoke prowess.
The Nendoroid line, famous for its highly articulated, super-deformed figures with interchangeable parts, is an ideal medium to capture these multifaceted aspects of his character.
Nendoroid Kiryu Kazuma stands at approximately 100mm tall and is fully posable, allowing collectors to recreate a variety of iconic moments from his tumultuous life in Kamurocho.
The figure comes equipped with three distinct expression parts to convey his diverse personality: a “Serious face” for his more determined moments, a fierce “Battle face” ready for a street brawl, and a delightful “Singing face” to capture his often-hilarious karaoke performances.
Several optional accessories are included: a “cigarette” for his brooding demeanor, a “microphone” for his musical escapades, and a “traffic cone”—a nod to the various environmental objects Kiryu often uses in combat within the games.
Orders placed via Good Smile Company directly will also come with an exclusive bonus acrylic stand:
Pre-orders for the Nendoroid Kiryu Kazuma are currently being accepted via the Good Smile Company official store from May 20th, 2025, to June 25th, 2025.
The figure is priced at ¥6,800 (including tax) and is scheduled to ship in October 2025.
This release will undoubtedly be a must-have for long-time fans of the “Like a Dragon” series, offering a charming new way to celebrate one of gaming’s most beloved characters.
Fans of the series can also add a new Nendoroid of one of the series’ more recent protagonists, Ichiban Kasuga, to their collection at the same time, with pre-orders are open for the same time period.
It’s important to note that orders for this figure are only currently open through Good Smile Company’s Japanese store, as the US store is currently still under a pre-order suspension imposed due to issues surrounding the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump.
Good Smile Company’s Japanese store is also currently not shipping to the US, but fans determined to own this Nendoroid can still order the figure from the Japanese store with the use of a proxy/intermediary service that offers a Japanese address for delivery/forwarding.
Even in the case where a proxy service is used, it should be noted that any taxes or duties will still need to be paid upon final import to the US.
