One of the largest Chinese resources of pirate games has banned the distribution of projects in the series Yakuza… As it turned out, for political reasons, namely, because of the eternal dispute over the ownership of Taiwan.
It all started with Japanese virtual video blogger Kiryu Coco. She once streamed on her Yakuza channel, and last year she angered many by showing her own stats. In it, Taiwan figured as a separate state with its own flag, which is not consistent with the views of Chinese nationalists.
Voice actor Takaya Kuroda is just thanked girl for her love of the saga with Kazuma Kiryu and wished her all the best: she plans to change jobs. But it was enough to anathematize the actor himself and his most famous work: the role of Kazuma Kiryu in Yakuza.
Currently on the famous Chinese torrent portal 3DM Yakuza games are present, but you cannot download them. As an explanation it says about the policy of “one China” and the inadmissibility of desecrating the homeland with games like Yakuza.
It is likely that Takaya Kuroda has invented a new, unexpected way to combat piracy.
