![Photos of massive screens at Tokyo Game Show advertising the cast of Yakuza Kiwami 3, including Goh Hamazaki as played by Teruyuki Kagawa, accompanied by a translated excerpt from a Daily Shincho article published 2022-12-28: “[Kagawa’s] victim, Mirei-san [(pseudonym)], has remained silent and not given interviews. According to court records [for a now-dropped lawsuit to which he was not a party], despite her efforts to avoid TV programs Kagawa appeared in, because he frequently appeared in commercials, including as editor-in-chief of the Toyota Times, ‘the psychological damage of being forced to see Kagawa’s face every day against her will accumulated day by day.’ ”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G35twCcXQAAKGMz.jpg?name=orig)

![A shot of Teruyuki Kagawa as Goh Hamazaki in Yakuza Kiwami 3 with his face mosaic blurred out, accompanied by an excerpt from a GAME Watch interview with Ryosuke Horii on 2026-02-05: Horii: “Rikiya and Hamazaki are both key characters to the story, so it would certainly be safer not to recast them and avoid online criticism (laughs). But we felt there was no use being afraid. We based our decision on what excited us and made us think, ‘This is who we want to perform,’ or ‘What if we cast this person?’ […] Hamazaki is a sleazy, persistent, and militant yakuza, right? Since he isn’t an explosive character like Kanda, when we tried to think of someone who makes you go, ‘This guy’s a creep,’ naturally it was Kagawa-san. The biggest thing was just had to see that. Kagawa-san’s acting is fun to watch. Even when he’s chopping a pig’s feet off with a chef’s knife, it has a slimy feel.”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HAZpsYsbMAAa7X2.jpg?name=orig)
