Yakuza Ishin! (Japanese: 龍が如く 維新!, lit. Like a Dragon Restoration!) is a spin-off game in the Yakuza series. Set in the chaotic Bakumatsu period (between 1853 and 1867), Sakamoto Ryōma is distressed resulting from conflicting pressures and uncertainty about one's self and role in the society. Being embroiled in the middle of a Tosa coup d'état and bent on finding the murderer who assassinated his mentor, Ryoma burrows himself with a hidden identity in the streets of Kyoto and joins the grim Shinsengumi. Despite being the second Yakuza series spin-off set in samurai era instead of modern-day Japan, this game is unrelated to Yakuza Kenzan!, which was released in 2008 on the PlayStation 3. Yakuza Kenzan! is set two centuries before Yakuza Ishin!, hence the plots are not related with each other since both games focus on different characters, the historical figures of Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645) and Sakamoto Ryōma (1836-1867) respectively.
