Kotobukiya Opens Pre-Orders for Ichiban Kasuga and Battle Crab Nancy Statue from Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Next year, Ichiban Kasuga from the role-playing game Yakuza: Like a Dragon — together with his battle-crab companion Nancy — will be released as a new 33-centimeter statue from Kotobukiya.

Kotobukiya has opened preorders for a new 1/6 scale Ichiban Kasuga statue based on Yakuza: Like a Dragon. The figure is priced at 28,600 Japanese yen (approximately 15,041 RUB).

The collectible stands 33 cm tall and is crafted from ABS plastic and PVC. The set includes a display base and Nancy, Ichiban’s combat crab companion.

The statue is slated for release in May 2026. Customers who preorder will receive an acrylic block (dimensions: 10 cm × 10 cm × 2 cm) as a bonus.

Ichiban Kasuga is the protagonist of the Like a Dragon series, introduced in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. A former member of the Arakawa family and an avid fan of Dragon Quest, Ichiban has a muscular build, gray eyes and dark, medium-length hair that he wears in an afro after his release from prison.

He is steadfast and loyal, guided by a strong sense of justice and always ready to help those in need. His vivid imagination lets Ichiban improvise in combat and devise inventive tactics.
