help Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan! FAQ
Who is Kazumanosuke Kiryu in Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan!?
Kazumanosuke Kiryu is the assumed identity of legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi in the game's fictionalized story. He resembles Kazuma Kiryu, but Kenzan is a historical reimagining rather than an episode in modern Kiryu's chronology.
Where and when is Kenzan set?
The story takes place in Kyoto during Japan's early Edo period, with much of its activity centered on the Gion district. Its jidaigeki setting replaces modern streets, guns and yakuza offices with swordsmen, courtesans and political intrigue.
Was Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan! officially released outside Japan?
No. Sega released it for PlayStation 3 in Japan in 2008, but it never received an official Western localization.
Is Kenzan the same game as Like a Dragon: Ishin!?
No. Both are historical spin-offs, but Kenzan focuses on Miyamoto Musashi in the early Edo period, while Ishin! casts familiar series faces in a Bakumatsu-era story built around Sakamoto Ryōma.
