Characters of the Judgement series

(Redirected from List of Judgment characters)

Judgment and its sequel Lost Judgment are two action games published by Sega and created by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio that feature original characters living primarily in the Kamurochō district as well as Isezaki Ijincho. Both games follow lawyer-turned-detective Takayuki Yagami as he investigates criminal cases. Yagami's friend Masaharu Kaito is the central focus of The Kaito Files, a downloadable content expansion pack for Lost Judgment.

Creation

edit

Judgment was created by several staff members who previously worked in the Yakuza series. The team enhanced the game engine from the latest Yakuza games to improve character design, changing the game's lighting to emphasize its theme of "legal suspense".[1][2] The team decided to explore the fictional city of Kamurocho (from Yakuza) using a different approach. Similar to Yakuza, real-world shops such as Don Quijote were used to impart realism.[3] A "friendship" system was developed to characterize Yagami's personality as he forms bonds with several non-playable characters, which integrates them into the setting. His traits are balanced in the main story and the sidequests for a balance between seriousness and comedy—his seriousness is explored in the main story, while comedy is featured in the sidequests.[4] Despite the similarities, producer Kazuki Hosokawa said that Judgment is not a spin-off to Yakuza and instead its own IP leading to its characters being completely original without any intention to feature characters from the other series.[5] However, characters from Judgment would eventually appear as part of the side content in the Yakuza side game Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.[6]

The details of Yagami's past, as well as his new life as a detective, were elaborated on to attract players to him. Because of the popularity of detective stories, Yagami was written to obtain knowledge throughout the game, along with the player.[7] Multiple actors were chosen based on their experience. Akira Nakao plays attorney Ryuzo Genda, who looked after Yagami when he was a lawyer. Shosuke Tanihara was cast as detective Mitsuru Kuroiwa because of his strong visual appearance, making impressive scenes when he and Kimura appear together. Pierre Taki was cast as Kyohei Hamura because of his history of portraying famous criminals. While Yagami is linked with multiple female characters, none of them were created as a love interest to avoid using romance in the narrative.[1]

Lost Judgment was written to be realistic, something the staff found challenging while providing themes seen as sensitive to the audience like bullying as well as what should people call justice, with the latter being explored through Yagami's characterization. The youth drama is meant to balance the dark storytelling based on how Yagami interacts with teenagers.[8] Hosokawa said the team read books from authors like Keigo Higashino and Hideo Yokoyama when preparing to write the game with the former's novel The Devotion of Suspect X being a major influence. The narrative focuses primarily on bullying as they consider it as a "Distorted justice" which clashes with Yagami's morals. Strichart commented that Yagami is not a hero so he is not able to solve all these cases on his which contrast the fantasy style Persona 5 which often deals with the protagonists saving victims using their powers. During Lost Judgment Yagami meets Kuwana who instead tries to solve every attempt of bullying regardless of methods. In contrast to Judgment, the sequel does not end on satisfactory note for Yagami as Kuwana manages to escape from the protagonist. Nevertheless, Yagami demonstrates a major influence on the bullies he meets in the game's beginning to the point they become heroic figures during the climax.[9]

Localization

edit

Sega believed that Judgment would be a better choice as the studio's first English dub localization, as it could attract newcomers to the series.[10] In scripting, Strichart insisted that the English actors keep using Japanese honorifics to retain the Japanese cast's impact.[11] Localization producer Scott Strichart observed that the portrayals of yakuza are faithful to the main series due to multiple characters being involved in the clans. Yagami was noted for standing out among the cast as he has multiple life choices in contrast to the other cast members, who are forced to be yakuza.[12] Multiple auditions were held to cast the English-language voice actors, aiming to make the English dub as natural as possible.[10] Greg Chun was pleasantly surprised when he was selected to voice Yagami in Judgment since he was familiar with the franchise. Chun said, "I'm super psyched to be a part of this game", adding that he liked what he had seen of the character.[13]

For the English version of Lost Judgment, many of the cast members from the first installment returned, but Strichart said some were replaced for logistical reasons.[14] The English recording studio was made in PCB Productions owned by Keith Arem with major aid by Vicky Lee. The translation was done by Jyun Takagi, shored up with support from Shun Fukuda and Mino Iwasaki. Josh Malone, who worked on Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Shinada in the Yakuza remasters, stepped up in a big way to help handle voice over. He was supported by Shervin Zadeh, Shaun Gannon, and Stephanie Spoleti, who was also a Yakuza vet.[15]

Reception

edit

Early impressions of the cast of Judgment were positive. Because it introduced a new cast instead of reusing characters, GameInformer found the story "refreshing" and described Yagami's investigations as intriguing.[27] GameSpot praised the storyline, particularly Yagami and Kaito, calling them "genuinely likable characters".[28] Engadget enjoyed both the main character and the multiple sidecases the game offers as it helps to explore the supporting cast as well as civilians living in Kamurocho.[3] RPGamer found the entire cast stands out to the ones featured in the Yakuza series with sidequests having also different tones as they range from dark to comical.[29] VG247 lamented the handling of female characters, especially Saori Shirosaki due to how her role in the first game is to provide comic relief in the form charming a man to the point it felt like fanservice in an anime. In retrospective, the writer lamented how the studio kept downplaying the role of female characters ever since the Yakuza series those games also sidelined the female characters with the exception of Kaoru Sayama from Yakuza 2.[30]

Both CGMagazine and GameSpot felt that the sequel had Yagami struggle with the themes of whether or not the lead is able to deal justice by himself. Additionally, the subplot of Yagami working in a school attracted positive response by the same publication due to how fun it becomes.[31][28] Computer Games Magazine stated that the two antagonists Kuwana and Soma pose as interesting characters, they do it at the expense of returning members from the first game who do little in comparison,[31] Although he does not team up with Kaito many times in the sequel, GameSpot felt that Yagami became a more likable character in the sequel and is able to deliver emotional scenes properly.[32] Inverse in particular enjoyed the character of Amasawa, calling her one of the best written female characters Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios has ever created due to her personality and dynamic with Yagami to the point she might be a break out character.[33]

In regards to the DLC, RPGSite enjoyed the narrative, mostly praising the handling of Kaito as a protagonist.[34] Mako Reactor also found it accessible as a result of not referencing previous events from the story and found the content more enjoyable than Goro Majima's sidestory from Yakuza Kiwami 2 which gave a major role to such character. Crispin Freeman and Suzie Yeung's performances were also the subject of praise.[35]

VideoGamer's reviewer liked the original Japanese cast's striking performances, despite the reviewer's initial preference for the English dub.[36] The English voice actors' performances were praised;[37][38] Ogilvie called the game's English voice acting "excellent" but noticed inconsistent English lip-syncing.[39] EGM Now said Chun gave a more striking performance than Kimura, whom the writer did not find suitable for the character.[40] RPGamer awarded the first game "Best Voice Acting"[41] GameSpot and Collider praised the presentation in terms of graphics, character renders and two districts Yagami can visit.[28] The latter also praised both Japanese and English voice actors for giving good deliveries though the lypsinced are more appropriate in Japanese unless a cutscene is played.[42] Shack News also noted the voice actors, most notably Yagami's Takuya Kimura and Greg Chun, to give appealing works most notably when playing a serious scene.[43] Besides enjoying Yagami's actors, Metro also felt that Kaito and Soma's actors deliver strong performance regardless of language.[44] In the 2022 "Famitsu Dengeki Game Awards", the game the "Best Actor Award" for Kimura's performance as Yagami.[45]
