Goro Majima
The Lord of the Night
Goro Majima in Yakuza 0 is a man trapped in a cage—charming, cunning, and always in control, yet constantly walking a razor’s edge. He plays the role of the perfect entertainer, a smooth-talking cabaret manager who knows how to dazzle a crowd, but beneath the surface lies a storm barely contained. Every smile, every calculated move is a mask, hiding a man struggling against unseen chains.
Majima is a survivor, adapting to the ruthless world around him while suppressing the fire that once defined him. He moves with grace yet fights with raw, relentless fury, a paradox of elegance and brutality. Though he bends to forces greater than himself, his spirit remains unbroken, searching for a path where he can be more than just a tool for others. Yakuza 0 finds him at his most vulnerable, a man at war with himself, standing on the precipice of something greater.
