Goro Majima (Japanese: 真島 吾朗, Hepburn: Majima Gorō) is a main character in Sega's Like a Dragon video game franchise, known as Yakuza outside of Japan. He first started off as one of the secondary antagonists of Yakuza, before becoming one of the main playable protagonists of Yakuza 0 and Yakuza: Dead Souls, as well as the main protagonist of the Majima Saga of Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Introduced as a member of the Tojo Clan and patriarch of its subsidiary group, the Majima Family as well as second-in-command of the Shimano Family, nicknamed "Mad Dog of Shimano", he develops a sadomasochistic obsession with the protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. He continually seeks to fight him, seeing him as the perfect rival, but eventually bonds with him across the franchise and becomes an important ally of his. He is also the sworn brother of Taiga Saejima who is one of the protagonists of Yakuza 4 and Yakuza 5. Majima's character is explored in more detail during the prequel Yakuza 0, in which he is a 24-year-old former Yakuza and a playable protagonist along with Kiryu. In this game, Majima has a much more calm and serious demeanor that develops into his standard sadomasochistic one during a war between a number of families in a fight for a patch of land known as the Empty Lot, while protecting the owner of the lot, Makoto Makimura, who serves as Majima's love interest. Majima also appears in the spin-off Dead Souls as well as the crossover Project X Zone 2. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio created Majima as a "clown" character who would contrast his calmer characterization in Yakuza 0, where the localization shifted Majima's character arc so he would not come across as insane.
