V2 MAJOR UPDATE: Textures and overall appearance have been completely overhauled. Horns, ears, and body spikes are newly added. Textures are now FULLY UNIQUE to Kiryu, meaning no more scales and freaky eyes on other characters. Due to the nature of this version, V2 is not compatible with other clothing mods. V1 will still be available for download, but it will no longer be supported.
THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION ONLY APPLIES TO V2:
This modifies Kiryu’s skin textures and model to add scales, horns, ears, and spikes from the dragon model in Yakuza 7/Like a Dragon, showing off his half-dragon heritage.
Made and tested for Yakuza Kiwami 2. Untested for Yakuza 6, but the installation structure should be relatively the same, but Kiryu’s default and shirtless outfits may be the only working .gmd files for Y6, however. I may consider editing his Y6 .gmd files in the future.
All of Kiryu’s premium adventure outfits have been modified to give him the unique textures and model edits, making this INCOMPATIBLE with other clothing mods.
An option for his hairstyle from Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin is available.
KNOWN ISSUES V2:
- Clipping is inevitable with the new dragon parts, but it probably won’t be a frequent occurrence
- Kiryu’s gunshot wound textures will not show up (I had tried editing these textures but nothing would pop up, I may or may not try to fix this later on)
- Some minor neck texture seam issues, but they’re not too noticeable unless you really scrutinize Kiryu’s model up close
- Like every appearance mod, pre-rendered cutscenes will be unaffected by this mod, so the scales and eyes will revert back to vanilla for the duration of those cutscenes
INSTALLATION V2:
- Create a folder named “mods” in your Yakuza Kiwami 2 directory (where the YakuzaKiwami2.exe file is located)
- Extract my “halfdragonkiryu_texture_v2” folder into the “mods” folder
- Download RyuModManager and extract all its contents into your YK2 directory (where the .exe file is located)
- Copy and paste the mod folder name (MUST BE EXACT) to “ModLoadOrder.txt”
- Run “RyuModManagerCLI.exe”
- Open game and test (on the menu screen, scales should show up on Kiryu’s back on the second fade-in)
IMPORTANT: Don't forget to edit the mod list in “ModLoadOrder.txt” when switching between hairstyle options.

THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION ONLY APPLIES TO V1 (NOT V2):
This modifies Kiryu’s skin textures to add scales, showing off his half-dragon heritage. Includes 6 different eye colors with 2 different sclera colors to choose from. Remove the eye texture if you want to keep his eyes human. (Made and tested for Yakuza Kiwami 2. Untested for Yakuza 6, but the installation structure should be the same)
No clothes have been modified, so this can be used in combination with other costume mods. Just let my mod take priority by placing it in the bottom of the load order to ensure that the scales will show up (some mods may require more tinkering to make every texture show up, usually it’s just replacing some of their skin textures with mine).
KNOWN ISSUES V1:
- Most characters will share the same eye textures as Kiryu, and some will share the same skin textures, so you will see other characters with scales on their hands or have modded eyes if you installed an eye texture
- Neck seam when shirtless, I’m too lazy to match up the scales perfectly
- Like every appearance mod, pre-rendered cutscenes will be unaffected by this mod, so the scales and eyes will revert back to vanilla for the duration of the cutscenes
- Create a folder named “mods” in your Yakuza Kiwami 2 directory (where the YakuzaKiwami2.exe file is located)
- Extract my “halfdragonkiryu_texture” folder into the “mods” folder
- Customize the eye color if you want
- Customize the eye color if you want
- If you have not yet edited your db.par to fix texture display issues, extract "db.par" into the "data" folder
- Download RyuModManager and extract all its contents into your YK2 directory
- Add the line “halfdragonkiryu_texture” to “ModLoadOrder.txt”
- Place it at the bottom of the load order if you want it to show up with other costume mods
- Place it at the bottom of the load order if you want it to show up with other costume mods
- Run “RyuModManagerCLI.exe”
- Open game and test (on the menu screen, scales should show up on Kiryu’s back on the second fade-in)
