The Shangri-la Soapland
Easter EggsThis building is where Ichiban Kasuga grew up and was raised by their adoptive father, the owner of the soapland. This building features the beginning of the Yakuza series and plays an important part in the narrative of the game.
In part 30 of the Majima in the Soapland, you will be introduced to the Easter Egg.
Chicken easter egg
Easter EggsYou must go to Chinatown and enter one of the large buildings and find Omelet the chicken. You must talk to Omelet the chicken, and she will quark and repeat quarking. The more you continue to talk to the chicken, she will reply differently each time, like she is trying to say something.
After the 6th or 7th time, Omelet will lay an egg, and you can repeat this multiple times.
Poundmates: over-the-top summons with real bite
Easter EggsUnlocked in Chapter 4 via Substory 05, Poundmates lets Ichiban “call in favors” mid-fight—complete with cinematic attack cut-ins.
How it works
- Menu path: Etc. > Poundmates during battle
- Cost: Each summon charges a fee; some have extra conditions
- Roster: 14 from substories + 5 from story/special unlocks
Fan-favorite summons
- Gary Buster Holmes: Your intro to Poundmates
- Goro Majima: Unlocks in Chapter 12; costs a cool 1,000,000 yen and comes with his Yakuza 4 battle theme
- Tosanoyama: Substory 09 in Chapter 4
- Patriarch Gondawara: Substory 07
- Il Yu-Jin: Substory 25
- Ono Michio: Complete Substories 29 and 30
- Omelette (yes, a chicken): After finishing the Business Management storyline
It’s equal parts power and parody—and it never gets old watching those cutscenes.
Five secret “Honk-Honk” characters pop up at fixed spots but spawn randomly. Pay them for personality boosts and full heals—plus they’re needed for a trophy.
How to make them spawn
- Only one spawns at a time
- Use taxis to cycle between locations so the map reloads
- After you pay one, another can spawn elsewhere
- Tip: Fast travel far away, then run to the spot; spawning too close can whiff it
- Some players get better results in daytime
Locations and rewards
- Ijincho
- Honk-Honk Girl: Alley south of Survive Bar. 10,000 yen, +10 Passion
- Honk-Honk Lady: Underground stairwell north of Wette Kitchen. 50,000 yen, +10 Passion/Charisma/Kindness
- Honk-Honk Man: Behind Sunlight Palace (after Chapter 11). 100,000 yen, +10 to all stats
- Sotenbori
- Honk-Honk Woman: Big alley near Shofukocho taxi. 50,000 yen, +10 Confidence/Passion/Charisma
- Kamurocho
- Honk-Honk Princess: Alley below Hotel District label, near W Shichifuku taxi. 30,000 yen, +10 Intellect/Style/Charisma
They respawn after payment, so you can grind stats if your wallet can handle it.
The voice you didn’t notice: Ichiban = Nishiki (JP)
Easter EggsIn Japanese audio, Kazuhiro Nakaya voices both Ichiban Kasuga and Akira Nishikiyama. Their personalities are polar opposites, so his range hides the overlap. If you play in English, you’ll miss this neat casting Easter egg.
The Party Queen returns… kind of
Easter EggsKeep an eye on hostess boards and background signage. You’ll spot AIKA (the singer) from Yakuza Kiwami 2, where she played a Platinum hostess nicknamed the Party Queen. You can also find a nod to Marina from Yakuza 0 in the Shangri-La soapland. Fun continuity for cabaret diehards.
Dragon Quest love letters everywhere
Easter EggsIchiban’s a Dragon Quest superfan, so the world bends into JRPG logic.
Notable nods
- The turn-based system is literally Ichiban’s worldview
- Encounter text riffs on “an enemy draws near”
- On Isezaki Road, interact with a drunk: “There’s no response, it’s just a drunk” — a playful spin on DQ’s classic line
- Sujimon is a cheeky bestiary homage, with thugs “transforming” into monsters in Ichiban’s mind
It’s smart meta-justification for the combat shift and a treat for JRPG fans.
Yokohama’s Isezakichō, lovingly rebuilt as Ijincho
Easter EggsThe game’s Isezaki Ijincho mirrors real-life Isezakichō in Yokohama—right down to store placement and street flow.
Why it matters
- Anchors the wild story in a believable place
- Nostalgia for locals, virtual tourism for everyone else
- Continues the series’ tradition (like Kamurocho/Kabukichō) of photo-accurate nightlife districts
It’s easy to get lost just people-watching and saying, “Hey, I’ve been there.”
Dragon Kart: Mario Kart chaos and a Pocket Circuit reunion
Easter EggsStreet racing with power-ups, rockets, and… the Pocket Circuit Fighter, now older and running the show as Fujisawa. Beat the Dragon Cup and he throws down as the Dragon Fighter—chef’s kiss for longtime fans.
Good to know
- Power-ups include speed boosts, rockets, and miniguns (Majima sometimes drops a Scarface line in English)
- Series continuity nods: Pocket Circuit lives on in later games via new faces
- If you’re just here for rewards, trainers/CE can freeze AI or max tokens
It’s pure adrenaline with big series heart.
Fighting glitch
UsterkiThere is a glitch that occurs during a fight between 4 players. Saeko must use a spell on 3 opponents who are across from you. Once the opponents have been put under the spell. You must use the skill of the “Essene of an Orbital laser.”
After you have used this skill, your opponents will die, and a glitch will occur. All the opponents that are standing in front of you will die except for one character.
The glitch causes one character to be seen twitching on the ground in front of your character. You will not be able to kill the opponent, and they will remain on the floor.
True tower glitch
UsterkiWhen you are on the true tower level. Kasuga will have a video interaction with Amon. They will have an altercation, and Kasuga will defeat Amon. This will cause a glitch to appear, and a screen will load with Amon in the air.
Xp boosts
WskazówkiXp boosts can be gained from eating and drinking certain items. You will gain Xp boosts at certain restaurants. You must order the correct set menu that the restaurant offers. You must also purchase Kiwami juice from a vending machine that can be found in the Seagull Cinema, this juice will give you an Xp boost.
Farm Xp in the dungeons
WskazówkiYou will need to improve your chances of leveling up faster in the game, and this can be done by visiting certain places.
The dungeons are one of the best places for you to farm Xp. These dungeons are located in the underground sewers in the Yokohama underground dungeon in Chapter 7.
In the dungeons, you will encounter an Enemy such as the Invested Vagabond. This enemy is very hard to beat and will only take 1 Hit point damage per blow. Once you have defeated the Vagabond, you will level up 2 levels.
Save money by resting
WskazówkiAn important tip to save money in the game is to utilize the rest option. You will regain your Xp by going back to the place you started the level on and by resting. Resting will save you money as you will not need to buy food to regain your Xp.
Max your bonds for big payouts and better skills
WskazówkiBonding isn’t just wholesome—it’s profitable. Push the pink Bond meter, clear Drink Link locks at Survive Bar, and right before Bond Lv. 5 each party member drops a personal quest.
Why do it
- Personal quests pay hundreds of thousands of yen
- Higher bonds unlock new combat skills
- Bond rises faster with meals, activities they like, and simply adventuring together
It’s story, power, and money—all wrapped in one.
Turn Ichiban into a CEO: the best pre-credits money farm
WskazówkiBusiness Management unlocks in Chapter 5 and becomes your mint.
Why it’s king
- Regular Shareholder Meetings can net ~500,000 yen each, more as you rank up
- Scales insanely well once you’re top company rank
How to win
- Between periods: Upgrade properties, hire/promote, balance expenses
- Open for business: Keep cash flow positive
- Shareholder Meetings: Match employee colors to shareholder bubbles for big persuasion damage, manage Command Points smartly
Tips
- Invest early in properties; it snowballs
- Substories can unlock clutch employees
- Trainer options can trivialize it if you only want the cash
All profits funnel back to Ichiban, perfect for late-game gear splurges.
Yokohama Underground: high-risk, high-reward runs
WskazówkiAfter Chapter 6, the sewers open up into multi-floor dungeons. The deeper you go, the richer the spoils—and the nastier the enemies.
Why go
- Big money and rare mats
- Strong gear drops to sell or equip
- Arena access via Kamurocho/Sotenbori routes for stacked battles
Hot targets
- Invested Vagabonds: Chunky payouts, immune to knockdowns, show up more reliably in certain mission areas. Build your route around their best spawns.
Bring heals, exploit weaknesses, and expect spikes. Or just flip on money cheats and skip the risk if that’s your vibe.
Fast cash with Part-Time Hero S.O.S. and side gigs
WskazówkiChapter 5 unlocks Part-Time Hero. The S.O.S. calls pay well for quick fights, but enemies are beefy.
Categories
- S.O.S.: High-level skirmishes for tens of thousands of yen
- Support: Deliver items at blue kiosks
- Takedowns: Kill counts per enemy type (only after you activate them)
- Missing Persons: Find and talk to specific NPCs
Big payouts
- “Please Find My Cat”: Find 9 cats, then Robson; rewards include 1,000,000 yen and a new Poundmate
- “Kappture the Kappa”: Photo 10 kappa statues; rewards include 2,000,000 yen
Check the menu often—progress only counts post-acceptance. Track rare spawns like Pseudotrash in Koreatown alleys and others by district.
The one-stop materials shop you’re probably missing
WskazówkiYou don’t have to grind every mob for mats. Head to Bayside Park near Dragon Kart. The General Goods cart sells most of the Romance Workshop fodder in bulk.
What they stock (examples)
- Woods/Cloths/Metals/Plastics: from Sturdy to Highest Quality
- Refined stuff: Reinforced Alloy, Tempered Safety Glass, Superalloy Steel, High Purity Lead, Tungsten, and more
- Buy up to 500 of each at once
Not everything’s purchasable (super-rare mats still need dungeons/arena), and there’s no perfect nearby taxi—so plan a taxi > shop > taxi > craft loop. With Business cash, you can kit out fast.
Don’t sell materials—your future EX+9 gear depends on it
WskazówkiSelling mats nets peanuts. Crafting eats mountains of them later, and hunting specific drops is pain.
Why hoard
- Best gear is crafted/upgraded at the Romance Workshop
- Weapons climb through + tiers and elemental branches, with high-end EX+ routes demanding tons of parts
- Inventory space isn’t an issue, money is replaceable—mats aren’t
If you did sell, the Bayside Park cart helps—but it’s pricier than keeping what you find.
Fund the Romance Workshop early to unlock god-tier gear
WskazówkiDump money into Sumire’s Workshop to raise its rank and unlock top-tier recipes.
Numbers that matter
- Donate four times for the related trophy; total investment: 22,200,000 yen
- Late-game individual strengthens can cost 30M+ each, so the Workshop price tag is actually modest
Why prioritize
- Access to Quixotic-class gear and max upgrade tiers
- Sumire’s chats/substories add recipes and flavor
- Pair with Business Management to bankroll everything
Invest steadily as funds allow; earlier access makes tough chapters smoother.
How to improve your statistic
PrzewodnikiIn the game, there are 14 briefcases that are located around the city. These briefcases are marked on the map as a yellow suitcase. There are 6 statistical performance areas that a player can increase.
You can locate the briefcases by taking a taxi to the area and walk around the area, looking under benches and in certain locations.
You must first take a taxi to W. Sotenbori Street, and then you must go to Kushikatsu Daruma. Once you are there, you must enter a passageway and find a briefcase that will contain a magazine.
This magazine will raise your statistics. You must then head towards the canal, where the second briefcase will be located under a seating bench. In this briefcase, you will find a guard booster.
You must then turn around and head to the bridge, where you must take a left and find a building that has a stairway entrance, you must go up the stairs, and you will enter a small apartment where you will find a briefcase that contains food.
Each briefcase will contain a different booster, and they will either be a personality booster.
How to unlock the secret can shop
PrzewodnikiIn chapter 3 of the game. You must do the minigame at the can shop in hard mode. You will ride around the city on a bicycle with a trailer and will have to collect over 300 cans in under 30 seconds.
Once you have collected all the cans and made it back to the required checkpoint, you will be awarded king of the cans.
