Ten years ago, Sohei Dojima, patriarch of the Dojima Family within the Tojo Clan, was killed by one of his men.
Kazuma Kiryu was sent to jail, sentenced to ten years for the murder. Finally, Kiryu has been released just as
things began to stir up in the underground of Kamurocho. The entirity of the Tojo Clan's savings, ten billion yen,
was stolen from the bank leaving the yakuza clan penniless and the patriarchs at each other's throats. The chairman,
Masaru Sera, is in hot water and many are just waiting until he is killed for such an oversight.
Will you bring an end to the short reign of Masaru Sera and seize control of Japan's largest yakuza clan?
Will you simply be a civilian trying hard to stay out of the dangerous businesses? Will you do whatever
it takes to serve those you have sworn an oath to? Even if it means death?
While we are set in 2005, if one knows the series, then they also know there are a lot of events and
characters that might not be aged properly for this era. Do not be afraid - alternate universes exist just for
that. Here in Lost Years, you can play any character from the Yakuza franchise, change up their age, and
possibly their history (particularly if their histories revolve around other characters.
EX) Haruka Sawamura or Saejima Taiga).
Throw Ichiban Kasuga into the fray to play with the big boys;
bring Makoto Makimura back to Kamurocho and become entangled in the underworld once more; send Naoki Katsuya to
Kamurocho to meddle in affairs not to be meddled with. The future is now in flux. What changes will you make to
the yakuza world?

Please don't mind the dust! We're still cleaning things up to get the roleplay started. However, feel free to look around, apply, and even roleplay while we work on getting this site up and going.
Makoto Makimura is the first person Majima fell in love with and he left her to live a normal life - because if she were to stick around him he'd only drag her into danger. In the original canon, she ended up marrying a doctor named Tateyama. Personally, I love their relationship, but if the player wants to pursue a MajiMaki relationship, she'll have to either no longer be with Tateyama or never been with him. At least, she could want to leave him. Makoto would also have to be very insistent on a relationship with Majima. Either way, a Makoto would be a lot of fun and introduce some drama into Majima's life. Choosing between the yakuza life and his first love.

The Dragon of Dojima, and Majima's self-declared eternal rival. Majima wants to help Kiryu get back into form after his ten years of jail time just so he could fight him at his full strength. Kiryu seems to enjoy his time enough around Majima, though can get exasperated at some of his antics. While Kiryu is not the most emotional sort, he does smirk sometimes when Majima does something amusing. At this point, Kiryu's childhood friends are still alive and so he doesn't have quite so much pain except for the ten years of prison and returning to see his bro becoming evil.

Nishikiyama Family
[attr="class","night"]
Back in 1988, Majima fought Nishiki and beat him. Which probably only lead to him thinking less and less of himself. Nishiki is the opposite of Majima - he's a man pretending to be sane, but he's more insane than anything. Majima is sane pretending to be insane. Mostly. Over the years, they've become rivals of a sort. Mostly because Nishiki is pushing on the borders and probably has stepped on Majima's toes a few times. Thus, Majima steps on his toes a bit harder in response. If Majima found out about Nishiki's sister and everything that happened with that, he'd probably laugh, and that'd piss him off more. Majima and Nishiki just don't work well together and that's what would make it hilarious.

Shimano Family
[attr="class","night"]
Looking for some Majima family members here! There's several we know in canon, but hell, Majima would love some people to command, probably hit a few times, and have drinks with. Maybe hit some baseballs. He would have fun with his family members, unlike a lot of patriarchs. His odd antics seem to garner loyalty in his men, probably because he does really care and will do anything for his family.
