Yakuza 4 Hiroki Narimiya Restoration Patch by Canzah and Slow
Special thanks to Timo654 for speeding the process up a little by helping to nail down the differences in files between PS3 and PS4/PC versions as well as SutandoTsukai181 for helping us find and quickly replace one instance of Tanimura's face texture that was tricky to replace.

This is an unofficial patch for Yakuza 4 meant to restore Masayoshi Tanimura's original appearance and Japanese voice to the likeness of the actor that portrayed him in the original PS3 release of Yakuza 4, Hiroki Narimiya.

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 Hiroki Narimiya portrayed Masayoshi Tanimura, who is one of the playable characters in the game.
The game came out on PS3 in March of 2010 in Japan and March of 2011 in the West, many years later in December of 2016, Hiroki Narimiya was accused of inhaling cocaine by tabloid newspaper "Friday", as a result of Narimiya's "friend" selling them a photograph showing Narimiya preparing white powder on table that to uneducated eye could be mistaken for cocaine.
This resulted in what is known as "cancel culture", where all companies and employers of Narimiya started to cut ties with him.
Narimiya was eventually absolved when he undertook medical tests proving he wasn't taking any drugs and further proved that the powder in question was actually a special form of candy called "Neruneruneru" which comes in form of white powder that needs to be poured into a glass of water, upon which it hardens and creates a candy.
Despite this, his career was substantially damaged and the following week Narimiya announced he'd be going into early retirement as a result of the fake allegations.
The game was later re-released on PS4 and XB1 in 2019 and PC in 2021 with Masayoshi Tanimura recast with a new actor, Toshiki Masuda. Whether this was done because SEGA simply decided to play it safe and avoid keeping Hiroki Narimiya or because he declined to license his likeness again is not known.
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 Hiroki Narimiya as Masayoshi Tanimura's actor in the game.
We have also gone the extra mile and updated the original PS3 textures for Tanimura using the same upscaling method used by the company in charge of PC ports so that his textures would remain at the same high-resolution fidelity as those of other characters.
Furthermore, all pre-rendered videos except one have been replaced by the original ones from PS3 as they are higher quality than their PS4/PC counterparts.

All appearances of Masayoshi Tanimura in the game, be it cutscene, gameplay, voice or even UI and credits related are now portrayed by Hiroki Narimiya.
Additionally, all features of the Yakuza 4 Licensed Music and Uncensor Restoration Patch are also incorporated into this patch.
