"Yakuza 4" adjusted several of these localisation changes, following criticism of the previous games, and in particular the content excised from the Western release of "Yakuza 3". Producer Noguchi noted that there was an attempt to "bring a more complete localization that was more faithful to the source material". This included reversing several name changes. In addition, some conventions were changed; in previous Western localisations, protagonist Kazuma Kiryu had been referred to primarily by his first name. In "Yakuza 4", he is referred to primarily by his family name, Kiryu, which more closely reflects the original dialogue.
