Yuji Katsuura, also known as Bridge, is a supporting antagonist in the 2010 SEGA action-adventure video game Yakuza 4. He specifically serves as the main antagonist of a series of substories available for Masayoshi Tanimura that revolves around the sex industry.
He is the chairman of an organization known as the Asian Women's Friendship Association, which in truth is a cover for the fact he is a sex industry kingpin, being a prolific sex trafficker. He forces poor women across Asia to buy fake visas and passports for high amounts of money, and then to pay off their debts he has them forced into prostitution. When detective Yusuke Kaga fell in love with a Thai woman who was one of Katsuura's prostitutes, and helped her get back to Thailand, as well as having a kid with her, Katsuura had Kaga murdered, and used their baby to convince the prostitute to return to Japan.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He is a kingpin of the sex trafficking industry who preys on woman across Asia from poor families, forcing them to buy counterfeit visas and passports which allow them to travel to Japan to work, and then to pay off the debt needed for the visas and passports he forces them into sex work, even stealing their passports so that they can't leave the country, shackling them to Japan. And when their debt is finally cleared, he has them killed. It should be noted that he has been doing this for at least 26 years, and Katsuura had been paying politicians and the police to keep quiet about it.
- When a detective named Yusuke Kaga fell in love with a Thai woman that was one of Katsuura's sex workers and even had a kid with her, and helped her get back to Thailand, Katsuura had Kaga killed, and attempted to use their child to persuade the prostitute to return to Japan. This child is revealed to be none other than Masayoshi Tanimura.
- He is presumably the one who had Koichi Yabe killed after he got vital information after seducing a woman from Hong Kong that was connected to Bridge.
- When Tanimura found out the truth about Bridge and met with Katsuura, Katsuura sends his men to attack Tanimura in attempt to silence him.
- Overall, he easily manages to stand out in the heinous standard of the Like a Dragon series due to his unique crime of sex trafficking.
Trivia[]
- Katsuura is one of the few pure evil villains that come from a sub-story in a Like a Dragon video game.
