Yakuza Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Kazuma Kiryu — The entry states Kiryu took the blame for his boss's death to protect Yumi Sawamura, but in canon, he took the blame for the murder of Sohei Dojima to protect both Yumi Sawamura and Akira Nishikiyama, as Nishikiyama was the actual killer.

Goro Majima — The entry states Majima was 'thrown out of the Shimano Family for taking the blame for his sworn brother Taiga Saejima's attack on the Ueno Seiwa Clan.' In Yakuza 0 canon, Majima was expelled for failing to stop Saejima's attack, not for taking the blame.

Goro Majima — The entry says Majima 'endured a year of torture that resulted in the loss of his left eye, explicitly shown in Yakuza 0 to have been gouged out with a knife by Shimano's men.' In Yakuza 0, the eye is gouged out by Shimano himself, not by 'Shimano's men.'

Kyohei Jingu — The entry states that the ten billion yen was laundered by the Tojo Clan for Jingu, but in canon it was the Tojo Clan's own funds being misappropriated, not external dirty money laundered for Jingu.

Kyohei Jingu — The entry claims that Jingu arrived at Millennium Tower with the MIA hired through his own political connections, but canon does not explicitly state that he hired them through his political connections—this is an inference.

Nishikiyama Family — The entry states that Nishikiyama killed his subordinate Matsushige after his sister's death, but in Yakuza Kiwami, Nishikiyama kills Matsushige before his sister's death, not after.

Nishikiyama Family — The entry claims that Kazama gave his blessing for Nishikiyama to form his own family before his imprisonment, but in the canon, Kazama was imprisoned before Nishikiyama formed the family, and there is no clear evidence of Kazama giving explicit blessing for t

Tojo Clan — The entry states that Kazuma Kiryu earned the nickname 'the Dragon of Dojima' well before his final confrontation with Keiji Shibusawa, but in canon he earns this nickname after defeating Shibusawa in Yakuza 0.

Tojo Clan — The entry's phrasing 'before the Tojo Clan collapsed by 2019' is ambiguous and could imply the collapse happened before 2019, but the Tojo Clan's collapse occurs during the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon in 2019, not before.

Ryuji Goda — The entry states Goda kills Terada at the Omi Alliance headquarters earlier in the game, but in Yakuza 2, Terada is killed by Goda at the Jingweon Mansion.

Ryuji Goda — The entry says Goda dies in the arms of his half-sister Kaoru, but in Yakuza 2, Kaoru is not his half-sister; they have no familial relationship.

Kazuma Kiryu — The entry states Kiryu worked as a taxi driver in Yakuza 4 and 5, but he only works as a taxi driver in Yakuza 5, not Yakuza 4.

Kazuma Kiryu — The entry claims the staff changed Kiryu's story from returning to prison in Yakuza 3 because 'it seemed too obvious,' but the actual reason was to show a more human side.

Sohei Dojima — Sohei Dojima was killed by Akira Nishikiyama, not by Shintaro Kazama on orders of Masaru Sera.

Sohei Dojima — The date for Kazama introducing Kiryu and Nishiki into the Dojima Family is 1990, not 1988.
