Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! is an action-adventure video game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. It is a spin-off of the Like a Dragon series, formerly and commonly known in English localization as Yakuza.
In 1866, after finishing sword training in Edo, Sakamoto Ryōma returns to his hometown in Tosa and reunites with his adoptive father, Yoshida Tōyō, and his sworn brother, Takechi Hanpeita. Tōyō, who is a government magistrate, seeks to end the rigid social class system in Tosa, and implores Ryōma to aid his cause by joining the Tosa Loyalist Party. Ryōma, Takechi and Tōyō meet at Kōchi Castle, where they discuss plans to negotiate with the ministers. However, a masked assassin appears and mortally wounds Tōyō, and escapes after defeating Ryōma and Takechi in combat. Having been accused of murdering Tōyō, Ryōma escapes captivity, vowing to return to Tosa to prove his innocence once he captures the assassin.
One year later, Ryōma resides in Kyo, going by the alias Saitō Hajime. He wanders several renowned dojo, inquiring information about the Tennen Rishin, a fighting style which Tōyō's assassin was using. After encountering an individual who calls himself Niibori Matsusuke, Ryōma is introduced to the Bathkeeper of Sai, an information broker who reveals to him that the Tennen Rishin style is practiced by the founders of the Shinsengumi. Believing that the assassin is one of the founding members, Ryōma decides to join their ranks. Ryōma later reunites with Takechi in the Mukurogai district, where he learns that the latter had become a jōshi and allied himself with the elders of Tosa. Takechi expresses disapproval of Ryōma's decision to join the Shinsengumi, causing the latter to denounces their brotherhood and depart.
The next day, Ryōma goes to the Shinsengumi's headquarters in Mibu to enlist. After impressing Second Division Captain Nagakura Shinpachi in a duel, Ryōma personally meets with the Deputy Chief, Hijikata Toshizō, who appoints him as Third Division Captain after executing the previous captain, Yamanami Keisuke, for desertion. Ryōma is later contacted by Nakaoka Shintarō, Tōyō's former retainer who believes Takechi is the real mastermind behind Tōyō's assassination. After surviving an ambush by Tosa loyalists, Ryōma and Nakaoka part way as they agree to cooperate. In one of his first assignments, Ryōma accompanies several Shinsengumi captains to apprehend Okada Izō, Takechi's right-hand man who has gained notoriety for assassinating several Bakufu leaders. Ryōma defeats Izō and allows Kyo's police to detain him, though later learns that he is to be taken to Tosa to face Lord Yamauchi Yōdō, possibly implicating Takechi and the loyalists. Some times later, Ryōma joins the Shinsengumi to raid a loyalist meeting at Ikedaya Inn. Ryōma encounters Niibori, who reveals his true identity as Katsura Kogorō, leader of the Chōshū Loyalist Party. At Katsura's request, Ryōma pretends to fight him and lose, allowing him to escape the Shinsengumi.
Ryōma eventually learns that there is an imposter using his name, who has been making arms deals with the British, with the backing of Navy Admiral Katsu Rintarō. He attempts to interrogate Satsuma Domain Army commander Saigō Kichinosuke, though the latter refuses to divulge any information. Ryōma is summoned by Shinsengumi Chief Kondō Isami, who is also aware of the former's identity. Kondō reveals that he plans to stage an attack that would leave Kyo in ruins, forcing Emperor Meiji to relocate to Edo and make it Japan's new capital; he requests Ryōma to aid his cause, promising to reveal Tōyō's killer to him, but Ryōma refuses. First Division Captain Okita Sōji, who overheard the conversation, later challenges Ryōma to a fight while pretending to be the killer, and ultimately loses. Ryōma then receives a letter from Nakaoka, informing him that Takechi had been executed in Tosa. In a drunken state of depression, Ryōma manages to stop a scuffle between Katsura and Saigō, allowing the two of them to befriend one another and end their ancestral feud.
