I somehow always forget that Shigesato Itoi, creator of Mother/EarthBound, has been arrested numerous times for protesting against police brutality and for progressive changes to the establishment in Japan's government.
Makes that cop battle scene in the early game hit different, huh?

RGG Studios released the Japanese trailer for Yakuza Kiwami 3. And the comments are flooded with #RemoveKagawa. Glad to see the fanbase has some standards after all. I still doubt anything will be done. But it is getting to a point where ignoring it just going to be death knell for the studio.

1. This week, news emerged that former trans athlete, student at Middlebury, and advocate for trans rights, Lia Smith, was found dead.
Her death was ruled a suicide.
But I argue that it's not only a suicide. Every trans suicide is a murder by those in power.

To paraphrase many a rally sign, we're angry for more reasons than can fit on a social media post.
“Don’t be mad that he demolished the east wing of the White House, be mad for a better reason like—“
Stop that.
Let people be mad at Trump for whatever reason moves them. Anger at Trump is good. Don’t police people’s reasons. We can all be mad at him together.

If you want to make a difference via online action in a way that SEGA *might* see it, you should post that you're not going to be buying the game if Kagawa is in it. And if they don't remove him from the game, you should not buy the game. You should ask streamers and influencers not to cover it.

Change dog org petitions don't seem as effective to me as much as voting with your wallet does, but it's nice to have as evidence that people care about something to an extent. I honestly don't know what fans can do given what Yokoyama has said in the past about the studio ignoring feedback.
No idea how effective it will be, but there is a petition (6K signatures to date) to have him recast
