Overview

Kamurocho is a fictional metropolitan district of Tokyo, Japan that serves as a major setting in the Yakuza series. It is based on the real-world Kabukichō, Tokyo's most well-known "red-light" district. Like its inspiration, Kamurocho is famous for its vibrant nightlife, featuring a wide variety of shops, restaurants, nightclubs and video arcades. It is also a district heavy with the influence of rival yakuza families who constantly struggle for control of Kamurocho, particularly in regards to illegal activities such as underground gambling parlors, loan shark money-lending operations and brothels. At the heart of Kamurocho is the Millennium Tower, a huge skyscraper which serves as a key location for many plot-critical events throughout the series.
