Like a Dragon Gaiden: All Coliseum Fighters Listed

The Coliseum is a major part of the game, and in this guide, I will list all the Coliseum Fighters you can recruit.

There are many different ways to recruit these characters, and I will go over them as well. Some will be recruited as part of the main story, others will need to be beaten by you, and some will even be able to be recruited with money.

Let’s break down all the different ways you can recruit characters, and which characters are tied to them.

Recruitable Through the Main Story

There are four characters you will get while progressing through the main story, as recruitable characters.

• Businessman Taro

• Hattori the Ninja

• Hammerhead

• Phoeniki

You can recruit these fighters through the main story in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.

Recruitable Through the Akame Network

Among the many different Requests you will complete while playing through the game, once you complete specific ones, you will be able to recruit fighters for the Coliseum.

You can recruit these fighters through the Request System in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.

Recruitable After You Defeat Them

There are some recruitable fighters you will only get after you defeat them in the arena. Some even have special requirements, which I will list so you don’t have any issues.

You can recruit these fighters after beating them in the tournaments in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.

Recruitable Through Sponsors

While walking through the Castle, you will notice some Sponsors who will allow you to recruit fighters for a fee.

Here are four Sponsors, you can find:

• Well-Connected Gyaru in the Bar at Fighters’ Lounge
• Broker in the Coliseum Lobby
• Millionaire in the VIP Lounge
• Oil Baron on the Second Floor of the Casino

The Well-Connected Gyaru and the Broker do not have any requirements the players must meet before getting their help, while the Millionaire and the Oil Baron do.

The Millionaire will need players to have reached the Gold Rank and have at least 1,000 fans.

The Oil Baron will need players to have reached the Platinum Rank and have at least 5,000 fans.

Here is a list of recruitable fighters from each sponsor.

You can recruit these fighters through Sponsors in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.
