To celebrate the release of the latest titles in SEGA’s popular action game series Like a Dragon (formerly Yakuza), a special collaboration has been launched with Okinawa Hormel, a company that symbolizes the culinary culture of Okinawa, Japan.
Fans can now experience the world of Like a Dragon Kiwami 3 and Like a Dragon 3 Gaiden: Dark Ties (released February 12, 2026) through Okinawa’s soul food: SPAM® (seasoned canned pork). This must-see lineup for fans includes three types of products, such as sets with limited-edition T-shirts, created as a tribute to Okinawa—the primary setting of the games.
1. Taste the Soul of Okinawa! Special Design SPAM® 2-Can Set
SPAM®, an essential ingredient in Okinawan home cooking, is now available in limited-edition packaging designed specifically for this release. This impactful set recreates the Okinawan atmosphere where the protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu, spends time with children in the game.
