Sounds like the opposite and the issue is with people who have a grudge against the PC.

Honestly? Just recast the role.

Because Kimura is such a huge star in Japan, he has operated under slightly different rules from other talent in the agency, including, most famously, his marriage and kids were not a secret.

Sheesh!

The article said that main guy wanted to keep doing the series. Hopefully something changes and they're able to continue.

This explains a lot but also holy hell reading into it, this agency's practices with its talent are comically insane.

I believe the agency is why there is no Karaoke in the Judgment series as well. Costs too much to have Kimura sing.

I'll be bummed to see Judgment die but I think RGG Studios can cook up something new in the same beat'em up style if they have to, since Yakuza is a JRPG series now.

Bummer, getting a huge star like Kimura likely gave the game a ton of mainstream exposure that gave the new franchise a good launching pad.

But man that's a hell of a tradeoff. What's worse is that J&A's tactics clearly seem to work because they still have the biggest stable of acts in Japan and their influence in the entertainment industry is basically unmatched.

It's because the video game world is colliding with the mainstream
Always been like that, but it's rare for them to be so intertwined

Yakuza seems to use a lot of Japanese celebrities in their games compared to other game series too. Im pretty sure theres always a bunch of cameos from famous people (definitely some wrestlers at least?). Theyre just more likely to run into this kind of trouble than other series that arent basing their character models on real people.

We are seeing more and more western AAA games get celebrities too so I'm sure we'll get there soon.

Edit: Though funnily, I think it was Kojima that really opened the door to this in the west with Kiefer Sutherland in MGSV and Norman Reedus in DS happening well before Keanu in Cyberpunk.

now Im curious how many western games have a celebrity that would no longer be ok / prevent a rerelease now

theres an old FMV hospital game that has the guy from Seventh Heaven who ended up being a pedophile, so thats one.

Not that anyone is likely to want it anyway, but a remaster of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare isn't likely due to starring Kevin Spacey.

Call of Duty had Kevin Spacey, so that had to be changed.
Though Yakuza did something similar with one of 4's protagonists having to change face.

Though I do wonder what would happen if it was a music label interfering over image rights.

Samuel L Jackson as Officer Tenpenny in San Andreas feels like the first big successful one to me, though there were a few even back on the PS1.

When we talk about celebrity games, I assume we exclude sports stars who lent their likeness to a franchise like Madden or Tiger Woods?

I didn't forget about that one but deliberately didn't mention it because it is pretty looked down upon nowadays, but I guess it was more successful at the time than I remembered.

Didn't know about the Call of Duty or GTA ones though, that's interesting. I know of some other celebrity voiceovers but I was trying to think of the big mocap productions that also use likenesses which is where it really gets weird (so I guess MGSV only sort of counts). Which Kevin Spacey did do so big whoops there!
