* Encounters can randomly begin with the opponent ambushing Tatsuya and attempting to strike him from behind, breaking continuity with how every battle is announced in advance by enemies running up to the hero and forcing him to fight.

** In the final battle even when the good guys have the upper hand over the villains,[[HonorBeforeReason Tatsuya decides to settle everything with a one-on-one fight where winner takes all]]. [[spoiler: [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome When the villain lose]] [[SoreLoser they immediately try to attack Tatsuya and his comrades.]]]]

* BonusBoss:
** After saving an afro wearing man named Todo from thugs in the hotel district, he puts you in a combat tournament of 29 fighters called the Kamurocho Strongest Ranking. You can beat these fighters for money and rare items. The strongest is Nobu, a level 30 fighter with the Extreme Man style.
** A reporter on strong martial artists in Kamurocho hires you to interview these fighters. You have to battle the fighters with the same styles they have.
** The leaders of the various gangs from the Kamurocho gang war substories are no slouches.
** Replacing the Amon clan as the superboss is Kamurocho's strongest street fighter Gaia. Infamous for taking around [[DamageSpongeBoss '''30 minutes''']] to beat. Defeat him and you are rewarded the Champion Belt, the best item in the game.

In September 2010, an aimless delinquent skilled in street fighting named Tatsuya Ukyo kills Tojo member Naoki Toda in a botched robbery. On an ultimatum from Toda's boss Ryutaro Kuki, Tatsuya is forced to enter the Dragon Heat fight club while trying to clear his name. He is tasked to win 10 Dragon Heat matches in a row, lose once and he will be handed over to the police. Later on, Tatsuya learns Dragon Heat connects to his past and he yearns to unravel the mysteries behind it all.

The gameplay is vastly different than that of mainline Yakuza games. Combat in ‘’Kurohyō’’ is more focused on 1-on-1 fighting modeled after its’ developer ''Syn Sophia'' other title [[VideoGame/DefJamSeries Def Jam: Fight for NY]] while at the same time borrowing many elements from the mainline games such as heat actions, overworld enemy encounters, and picking up weapons scattered around the area. Mechanics unique to the game includes a stamina mechanic, a limb health mechanic which would result in different effects on the player depending on which limb is damaged (head, torso, arms and legs), as well as a StanceSystem, where outside of battle, you can change into different martial art styles you’ve unlocked throughout the game.

Kurōhyo was [[NoExportforYou never released for the west]] but you can find a full translation of the story by fansite [=KHHsubs=] on [[https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzgv-tqL9lOS2rWAVT8O1-hXK9OZXhYk3 Youtube.]] and a partially completed FanTranslation of the game can be found [[https://cdromance.com/psp/kurohyou-ryu-ga-gotoku-shinshou/ here.]]

** Yusuke, an acquiantance Tatsuya punched and shooed away in the beginning cinematic shows up later in a substory stalking a girl he has a crush at the Gelateria. Tatsuya, who has since then went under CharacterDevelopment, decides to help him.

** Tsukahara's grandson loses ''101'' of his cats throughout Kamurocho. The old man gives you a discount on training when you find more cats through-out the game.

** The Weapon Mania and the Extreme Rousing/Awakening fighting style encourages the use of weapons by increasing the damage done with them. Their heat actions are very brutal as well, the former’s red heat has you stomp an opponents head into the ground multiple times, the latter’s blue heat has you [[ManBitesMan take large chomps out an unlucky sap’s shoulder]], the red heat has has you strike the [[EyeScream eyes]] then the [[GroinAttack groin]] in quick succession. OUCH.

* SequelHook: In TheStinger, the chief of Kamurocho police [[GreaterScopeVillain Tsurumi]] is elected governer, having gotten away with everything and wipes himself off with Tatsuya's own handkerchief used to frame him to boot. The game seems to frame him as the next BigBad of the [[VideoGame/Kurohyo2RyuGaGotokuAshuraHen upcoming sequel]].

A television adaptation of the game was made from October 5 to December 21, 2010 on Creator/TokyoBroadcastingSystem, as well as a manga adaptation by Asada Yukai spanning 3 volumes.

* DeigeticUserInterface: The Kurohyo series don't have a visible health bar, heat meter or weapons durability counters of the main Yakuza games. In battle the only visible meter is you and the enemy's body part health indicator. Realistically you obviously wouldn't have a health bar in real world fighting, but you would know what part of your body is hurting and with a bit of intuition you can tell where your opponent is injured in.
