Kasuga Ichiban

Learn how to unlock all of Kasuga Ichiban's Jobs and master their unique skills in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Get the edge you need to conquer Ijincho!

Alright, let's talk about our main man, Kasuga Ichiban! He's the heart and soul of this crazy adventure, and figuring out how to best use his abilities is key to surviving the streets of Ijincho. One of the coolest things about Ichiban is that he can switch between different 'Jobs,' and each one gives him unique skills and boosts his stats. Think of it like changing his outfit, but instead of looking stylish, he gets a whole new set of moves!

You'll unlock new Jobs as you progress through the story and level up Ichiban's personal stats. Some are available pretty early, while others require a bit more dedication. Don't worry, I'll break down exactly what you need to do to get your hands on all of them.

Available Jobs for Kasuga Ichiban

Here’s the rundown on all the Jobs Ichiban can take on, and what you need to do to unlock them. It’s a good idea to try out a few different ones to see what fits your playstyle!

Skills You Can Carry Over

Now, here’s a really important tip: some skills you learn in one Job can actually be used even after you switch! This is HUGE for building a super-powered Ichiban. To see all the skills available to him, just head over to the Team Menu, select Check Job, and then press the triangle button. It’s worth checking this regularly as you unlock new Jobs.

For example, the Freeter job has a skill called 'Search for Goods.' You learn this early on, around Chapter 3, while you're still a Homeless Apprentice. This skill is super handy for finding extra items when you're poking around vending machines, trash bins, and garbage piles during exploration. Keep an eye out for those!

Another great one is from the Wrecker job. This Job teaches Ichiban the 'Pioneering Crush' skill. This is essential for breaking down those annoying barricades and boarded-up doors you'll find blocking access to hidden shops scattered throughout Ijincho. So, if you need to get into one of those secret spots, just switch to the Wrecker Job, use the skill to break through, and then feel free to switch back to whatever Job you prefer for Ichiban. It’s all about using the right tool for the job, right?

Keep experimenting with different Jobs and skills, and you'll have Ichiban ready for anything!
