Guide for Yakuza Kiwami - Substories (2024)

1The Price of an F-CupWalk along Pink Street south of Beam, a woman will run up to you asking for help. Go with her, but at the end it's important that you refuse to drink.2My Baby's a ShowgirlThis one starts a little randomly, you'll suddenly get a phone call from Yuya that will start this Substory.3Bet On a ChampYou need to be with Haruka for this one. Head to the old Bacchus/new Bantam, you'll find a Boxer drinking there.4The Yakuza's WifeYou need to have completed Substories 1, 2 and 3 for this. Leave Serena without Haruka and you'll get a call from the Florist.5A Doctor's DutyWest of the entrance to West Park there is a hungry boy. Give him food, and then meet him again at Public Park 3. Here you'll have to bring Haruka to him. Afterwards, the game will tell you to head to the doctor but without giving you a specific objective on the map, so you need to follow me here. You'll need to head to a clinic just west of the Akaushimaru near Theater Square. This is Doc Emoto's Clinic. There is a cartoon nurse on the sign above it so you can spot it.

North of Karaokekan is a guy in a suit and a purple shirt. Talk to him and agree to hearing more, but then refuse his offer three times. After fighting, go to Smile Burger and you'll see him again.12The Toll CollectorThis is probably one of the first Substories you'll find in the game as you start. You have to go to Park Alley towards West Park/Purgatory entrance. 13Pay it ForwardIn Public Park 3 in Tenkaichi Alley, bring the drunk man Sake from the M Store. Take the coat he gives you to Pink Street, near Beam and give it to the homeless man. Take the glasses to the man standing outside Asia. Take the tape to a man near a shack in Purgatory.

He'll ask you to go to a woman in Theater Square and tell her "You're very sexy" and will give you 1000 yen for a package she's carrying. Head to Theater Square and you'll find three women. The one you want is the one on the left in the long green coat. She'll give you the bag. Look if you want, but it will reduce your reward. You'll find out what it is regardless. Head back to him and he'll give you 80,000 yen.

Offer to hear him out and pay his upfront training cost of 10,000 yen. You'll then go to an interview. How you respond will determine what prize you get later, so answer your "physique", then "I don't look back at the past", then "Tachibana". Later return to the same spot and you'll hear a rumor and get a phone call. Go to the front of Millenium Tower and speak to the guy there to get your money back and a Staminan Spark.

Take Shinohara to Kanrai, then Jewel, then the Coliseum.59Komaki Style: Shot StopperI don't think this one is missable: when going to Purgatory you'll meet Komaki. Accept to be his pupil (I don't even think you can say no to him) and you'll start the Substory.60Komaki Style: SwordsmanshipYou need a Wooden Katana to start this. You can either buy it at the Coliseum or Ebisu Pawn.

This one can be tricky. There are two tactics: the legit one, where you can try dodging one whole second after he raises his gun, or my personal favorite, where you just spam him with light attacks the whole training, but you seriously have to mash the button because if you miss only once he will hit you.
