The purpose of this patch is to restore Kyohei Hamura's original appearance and Japanese voice to the likeness of the actor that
portrayed him in the original, launch version of Judgment (known as Judge Eyes in Japan), Pierre Taki.
To explain the reason for this patch existing you'll need to understand the history of what happened with production of the game.
Originally, famous Japanese actor Pierre Taki portrayed Kyohei Hamura, who is a very important character in the game.
The game came out in December of 2018 in Japan, and mere 3 months after that in March of 2019, Pierre Taki was arrested for possession and use of cocaine.
This resulted in what is known as "cancel culture", where all companies and employers of Taki started to erase his contributions out of existence, SEGA being no exception to this.
The game was immediately pulled from store shelves and digital storefronts, preventing anyone from being able to buy the game outside of second hand used copy market.
In July of 2019, the game was re-released in Japan as Judge Eyes: New Price Version, with the major change in that version being the replacement of Pierre Taki as Kyohei Hamura's actor, whose model was changed to a generic thug not based on any actor and all his voice lines redubbed by the unfortunately less than stellar performance from a Japanese voice actor Miou Tanaka, known primarily for voicing generic "grunt" characters.
And, as expected, the western release of the game was based on the aforementioned New Price Version with Pierre Taki removed and replaced.
Because we stand against both censorship and "cancel culture", we've decided to create a patch for the Western version of the game that would
restore Pierre Taki as Kyohei Hamura's actor in the game.
Upon discussing the idea, we decided to create this restoration patch for your enjoyment and as such all appearances of Kyohei Hamura in the game, be it cutscene, gameplay, voice or even UI and credits related are now portrayed by Pierre Taki.
Those of you that might be familiar with our music restoration patches for the PS3 and PS4 Yakuza titles should be right at home with this patch.
This video below will give you a glimpse of what you can expect after restoring Hamura's original voice and appearance:
