The series is partially based on the first game in the series, which was initially titled Yakuza in the West (the series transitioned to the title Like a Dragon, closer to its Japanese title, with the seventh game Yakuza: Like a Dragon in 2020).
Takashi Miike directed a 2007 live-action film adaptation of the franchise titled Yakuza: Like a Dragon, also based loosely on the plot of the first game in the series.
The film had a theatrical screening in the United States in 2008, and Tokyo Shock released the film on home video in the United States in 2010.
Masaharu Take (100 Yen Love, The Naked Director) is directing the series.
