Kotobukiya unveils fully painted figure of Like a Dragon’s Goro Majima
Kotobukiya has officially unveiled the fully painted prototype for its upcoming Goro Majima figure.
This new collectible brings to life one of gaming’s most iconic and charismatic antagonists.
Goro Majima, often dubbed “The Mad Dog of Shimano,” is a central character in the Like a Dragon (Yakuza) franchise, known for his unpredictable nature, flamboyant style, and brutal yet captivating fighting prowess.
His distinctive look and manic energy have made him a fan favorite across the globe, with Majima often being the focus of collaborations such as Like a Dragon themed sake and a merchandise line based on the recent ‘Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii’ game released with Japan’s top discount store, Don Quijote.
The Kotobukiya figure masterfully captures Majima’s unforgettable presence, with the sculpt meticulously recreating his striking ensemble, including his signature snake-print jacket and tailored trousers.
He is posed dynamically, holding his formidable Demonfire Dagger (Kien no Dosu), ready for a fight.
No detail has been spared in capturing Majima’s unique aesthetic.
His iconic techno cut hairstyle and eyepatch are faithfully rendered, alongside a finely sculpted face that perfectly conveys his notorious mad, bloodthirsty expression.
This figure promises to be a definitive representation of Majima, embodying the wild charisma that defines him in the games.
While specific release details such as scale, price, and exact launch date are yet to be announced, the reveal of the painted prototype signals that production is progressing well.
With further details likely to follow soon, fans can look forward to welcoming the Mad Dog of Shimano into their own collections.
