136 - Riku Rose of The Tojo Dojo

Welcome back to The SEGA Lounge podcast! Can you believe it’s December already? It’s crazy how time flies but I’m glad you’ve been with me this year as we explore the SEGA universe, one conversation at a time.

As my opening thoughts for the week, I wanted to give you a heads up about SEGA Shop Europe’s current line of merch celebrating SEGA’s 60th anniversary. It includes a couple of t-shirts, a hoodie, a mug, a set of pins and a limited edition collectable coin. Worth checking out as a way to celebrate 60 years of Old Lady Blue.

This week, I’m joined on The SEGA Lounge by Riku Rose, chairman of The Tojo Dojo, a recent but great resource for all your Yakuza and Shenmue needs. Created earlier this year, it’s grown in support on social media and has been sharing memes and news related to, mostly, the Yakuza franchise. It was really nice to get to know Riku Rose and put his love for SEGA to the test in another hard as nails challenge.

My thanks to Riku Rose for coming on the show! It’s been fun and whether you’re just getting into the Yakuza franchise with Like a Dragon or have been a longtime fan of the series, take a look at The Tojo Dojo.
