Izuku views Kiryu as an indomitable pillar of strength, to the point he refuses to call him "Uncle Kaz" even though the man himself encourages it. The only time Izuku views Kiryu as a ''human being'' rather than a dragon is [[spoiler:when he's injured and depressed by the assassination plot targetting Haruka]]. But even after this event he ''still'' views Kiryu as a dragon.

It creeps Luz out, and she mentions feeling like she's walking into a monster's den when she enters both buildings. The motif goes with their theme of being [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil figurative monsters]] who prey on [[DisposableVagrant the downtrodden]].

He also underwent his own purification courtesy of Kiryu beating some sense into him. This gets highlighted even moreso when comparing him to his father Sohei.

*** Keiji Shibusawa has a motif for the Azure Dragon. With a bringer of wealth and prosperity on his back, Shibusawa handles the business side of the Dojima Family. Unlike Kiryu's dragon irezumi, which is seen clutching a pearl symbolizing its authority and control over water, Shibusawa's dragon doesn't have one which reflects his desire to become the Dragon of Dojima. Their dragons are even facing opposite of one another, with Kiryu's facing upwards to the left while Shibusawa's faces downwards to the right. Fittingly, not only does Shibusawa act as the final boss for Kiryu's side of the story, but Kiryu also fills the role of the Azure Dragon in ''4''.
*** Hiroki Awano has a motif for Momotaro. Not only does this reflect how he would come to blows with Majima, but in some versions of the story of Momotaro, he became lazy and shirked his duties. Likewise, Awano was once the strongest yakuza in the Dojima Family, but he became hedonistic and let his strength decline.

*** Fitting with the [[TheFourGods Four Gods]] theming of the playable characters, Shun Akiyama has a motif for the Vermillion Bird. His kick-centric fighting style is like a bird attacking with its talons, he runs a money-lending business called Sky Finance reflecting how the Vermillion Bird descends from the heavens to do good deeds, and he's very selective about who he gives money to like how the Vermillion Bird is said to be very selective about where it perches. Interestingly, he also pulls from ThePhoenix in that he had a death and a rebirth, winding up homeless after losing his banking job and using the money he gathered from [[spoiler:the 10 billion yen Nishikiyama gave his life to destroy at the end of ''1'']] to rebuild his life and become the Lifeline of Kamurocho.
*** Taiga Saejima has a motif for the White Tiger. The White Tiger is said to embody power, strength, and courage while acting as a guardian of morality and justice. Indeed, there's no denying Saejima's [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower absurd strength]], his unshakeable valor in the face of danger, and his strict adherence to ThouShallNotKill despite having the capacity to go against it. He even has a tiger as his irezumi. Also, the only match for the White Tiger is the Azure Dragon, and he's one of only a few people to match Kiryu in a fight.
*** Masayoshi Tanimura has a motif for the Black Tortoise. The Black Tortoise is said to have a snake wrapped around it in some depictions, and Tanimura wears a snakeskin belt. The tortoise and the snake put together represent the death that comes with winter and the new life that springs from its end. Tanimura is undeniably a DirtyCop, but only so the people of Little Asia have someone to watch over them given Japan's turbulent history with outsiders.
