Hi all!

They uploaded more info on the upcoming Ryûga gotoku 0 title on its official
page, so I figured I would post quick translations of the added characters.

Sorry the translations are weird but I didn't have time to rewrite them!

--CHARACTERS ON KIRYÛ'S SIDE OF THE STORY--

Junior Lieutenant of the Tôjô Association's Dôjima Group
Chairman of the Kuse Ken'ô Association
KUSE Daisaku
(Voice Actor:  OZAWA Hitoshi)

With his personal history as an ex-professional-boxer, he is a natural-born
gangster, exceptional in his skill at "violence" even among the Dôjima, which
is known as a faction of fighters for the Tôjô.

Now that the group's lieutenant, Kazama, is out of the picture, he essentially
tends to the affairs of the Dôjima Group.  As the most senior of the three
junior lieutenants, he is the closest to becoming the next lieutenant.


Junior Lieutenant of the Tôjô Association's Dôjima Group
Head of the Taihei House
AWANO Daiki
(Voice Actor:  TAKEUCHI Riki)

He's a hedonistic sort who goes with the flow and acts opportunistically with
the times.  However, beneath this exterior lies a cunning man who is
responsible for the Dôjima Group's ability to "intimidate," since he excels in
gathering a wide range of reliable information.

To his "elder brother" in the syndicate, Kuse, he puts up the front of the
obediant person who knows his place, but behind his back, he eagerly looks for
an opportunity to become the next Dôjima lieutenant and schemes plots to sur-
pass him.


Junior Lieutenant of the Tôjô Association's Dôjima Group
Head of the Shibusawa Group
SHIBUSAWA Keiji
(Voice Actor:  NAKANO Hideo)

Displaying both great talent and great accomplishment as a gangster, he is a
shrewd junior lieutenant.  As director of the "administrative affairs" of the
Dôjima Group, he excels in matters of finance.

As to the succession to the next lieutenant of the group, he currently trails
behind Kuse and Awano, but his true ability is inestimable.


President of Tachibana Realty
TACHIBANA Tetsu
(Voice Actor:  IURA Arata)

President of Tachibana Realty, a real estate company in the Kamuro District.

In the district of Kamuro--already crowded with countless restaurants, sex
clubs, and the like--he is king of shady realty, known to be able to secure
any new property.  To that end, he will not hesitate to use any means
necessary.

Although he displays the mild-mannered disposition and refinement of a natural
gentleman, in the Kamuro District in which only the Tôjô Association gets the
gravy, he also has ambitions to be one of this ruling class, himself.

He approaches Kiryû because of a certain incident and tries to gain his trust
as an ally.  His real intentions, however, are shrouded in mystery.


Employee of the real estate agency Tachibana Realty
ODA Jun
(Voice Actor:  KONISHI Katsuyuki)

An employee of Tachibana Reality known as a specialist in real estate takeovers.

He may look wimpy at first glance, but he's a very brave man who shows no fear
even in the face of the yakuza.  Making full use of his vast financial power and
dense information network, he continually takes over land with an assertiveness
that puts the yakuza to shame.

As the person in Tachibana Realty who decides what to do with the various sites,
he is President Tachibana's right-hand man.


Head of the Tôjô Association's Dôjima Group
DÔJIMA Sôhei
(Voice Actor:  EGAWA Hisao)
[NOTE:  New voice actor--in the first two games was reportedly played by
MIZUKI Ryûji--same as SERA Masaru?]

Full of ruthless ferocity and a greedy desire for success, he does not choose
his actions based on whether something is legal or not.  As a hard worker who
has built the Tôjô Association to this vast size, he proudly boasts having
strongest and greatest power among the many group heads in the syndicate.

At present, he has his eyes on succeeding the second chairman of the Tôjô
Association, which continues in an "acting agent" system, and sets his sights on
the acquisition of the vast land rights needed for the Kamuro District renewal
project.

Knowing the "empty space of about a square meter" is the key to the project, he
sets his three junior lieutenants to work.


Junior Member of the Tôjô Association's Dôjima Group
NISHIKIYAMA Akira
(Voice Actor:  NAKAYA Kazuhiro)

Growing up alongside Kiryû in the "Sunflower" Orphanage, he follows his
benefactor and joins the Dôjima Group.  Seeing Kiryû as family from a young age,
he now regards him as "elder brother" in the syndicate.

In contrast to Kiryû, he only possesses the knack for skillful politcking as a
gangster, and has the will to rise up inside the syndicate's ranks.  Because of
this, he has come to view Kiryû as lacking in that he does not seem interested
in pushing himself forward in the world of the yakuza.

However, at the same time, he has another side to him--he's always looking after
his sickly younger sister.


Lieutenant of the Kazama Group of the Tôjô Association's Dôjima Group
KASHIWAGI Osamu
(Voice Actor:  SAKUYA Shunsuke)

As Kazama's right-hand man, he is a yakuza of remarkable ability whose name is
well known in the Kamuro District.  Strict in etiquette and sentiment for duty,
he does not go lightly on those who do not pull their weight in the syndicate.

Because Kiryû directly belongs to the Dôjima Group, and by official title,
Kashiwagi is a member of the tertiary group beneath the Dôjima, the Kazama
Group, Kashiwagi is technically lower in station.  However, Kiryû, Nishikiyama,
and the like view him as a much-older brother who is more fearsome than anything
in the world.

Since he has been trusted with the management of a substantial group by Kazama,
he also commands a great deal of respect from those outside his organization.


Lieutenant of the Tôjô Association's Dôjima Group
Head of the Kazama Group
KAZAMA Shintarô
(Voice Actor:  WATARI Tetsuya)

An exceptional yakuza who possesses both talent and character, he is been 
such a driving force in support of the Dôjima Group that he could be called the
most powerful.

Besides that, he set up the "Sunflower" orphanage as a personal matter, which
looks after young children with no families.  Kiryû and Nishikiyama, who grew up
at the orphanage, adore him the same as they would their true father.

Ever since a raid on a gambling event hosted by the Kazama group a half a year
ago, he has been incarcerated.  In the absence of his power, his post as
lieutenant of the Dôjima Group is currently being pursued by his three junior
lieutenants.


--CHARACTERS ON MAJIMA'S SIDE OF THE STORY--

Member of the 5th Generation Ômi Alliance
Head of the Sagawa Group
SAGAWA Tsukasa
(Voice Actor:  TSURUMI Shingo)

As "warden" to Majima, who is under sort-of a house arrest in the Sôtenbori,
he holds the power of life and death over him.

Although in a different syndicate, he is like a "yakuza brother" to Shimano,
head of the Shimano Group and ex-boss of Majima.  It is because of this bond
that he is entrusted with Majima while he is expelled from Tokyo for the
time being.

He has a playful attitude and an informal way of speaking.  He swaggers
around the streets at night in a manner unlike a yakuza.  However, if any-
thing is even slightly not the way he would like it to be, he will show his
violent side.  He's an extremely dangerous man.

Sagawa gives Majima an order, and if Majima fulfills it, he will return him to
the life of the yakuza.  However, this order will wrap two people up into a
great destiny....


Employee of "Unravelled Pleasure Palace," a "Seitai" Physical Therapeutic Clinic
on the Outskirts of Sôtenbori
THE BLIND GIRL
(Voice Actor:  SAWASHIRO Miyuki)

Both of her eyes almost completely lack sight, but she makes a living with
her skills as a "seitai" (physical therapy similar to chiropractics or reiki).

Thinking that perhaps her little corner of the gorgeous Sôtenbori had been
left behind by the boom of the times, she was able to live a quiet life.
However, because of a certain incident, she is dragged into a bloody war among
the yakuza.


Master of "Unravelled Pleasure Palace," a "Seitai" Physical Therapeutic Clinic
on the Outskirts of Sôtenbori
A CERTAIN SEITAI MASTER
(Voice Actor:  ???) [NOTE:  What the heck?]

His rugged exterior doesn't match his compassionate inner self.  His skills as
a therapist are so great that he has earned himself the name "God Hand."

However, the sharp glare in his eyes from time to time would cause someone to
doubt him.  Perhaps even this person has some "secret side" he does not divulge
to others....
