==Summary==
Ryuji Goda (郷田 龍司, Gōda Ryūji) is the main antagonist and final boss of Yakuza 2 and its remake. He also makes an appearance in the non-canon Dead Souls game and has a cameo in Yakuza 0.
Ryuji is the adopted son of Jin Goda, who was the 5th Chairman of the Omi Alliance, though he is actually the son of the Korean Jingweon Mafia boss, and is also the half-brother of police officer Kaoru Sayama, who happens to be Kazuma Kiryu's love interest, with both of them being one of the few survivors of the Jingweon Massacre. Ryuji served as the 3rd chairman of the Go-Ryu alliance and was known as the "Dragon of Kansai".
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Ryuji Goda, Dragon of Kansai
Origin: Like a Dragon
Gender: Male
Age: 12 during the events of Yakuza 0. 30 during the events of Kiwami 2 and at the time of his death
Classification: Human, Yakuza boss
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Weapon Mastery (Though not displaying much orthodox skill, is adept enough at swordsmanship to pose a threat to other sword masters such as Kiryu, combining it with his martial art style), Expert Brawler, Rage Power, Aura Manipulation and Statistics Amplification (With Heat), High Pain Tolerance (Toughed out multiple gunshots in vital areas and a brutal battle with Kiryu afterwards)
Attack Potency: Building level (Managed to hold his own against Goro Majima as a 12-year-old kid, with Majima praising his strength. Hailed as Kazuma Kiryu's equal, and has fought against him multiple times, even managing to duke it out against him one last time after being fatally shot multiple times)
Speed: Subsonic movement speed with Hypersonic combat speed and reactions (On par with Majima. Kept up with Kiryu even when he was bullet-ridden and on the verge of death) 
Lifting Strength: Class 5 (Can easily break free from Kiryu's grip and equally wrestle with him while heavily weakened)
Striking Strength: Building level (Can send Kiryu flying with his strikes)
Durability: Building level (Took multiple hits from Kiryu and Majima)
Stamina: Incredibly high (Managed to put up one last lengthy fight against Kiryu, despite both of them being bullet-ridden and on the verge of death)
Range: Standard melee range. Extended melee range with melee weapons. Hundreds of meters with firearms
Standard Equipment: A katana
Intelligence: Above Average when it comes to basic knowledge. Gifted in terms of combat skill (His own fighting styles are more than enough to keep him on par with the likes of Majima and Kiryu)
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses. Will put himself in harms' way to protect his loved ones and innocents, and will still push himself to the limits, having no regards for his own life. Deeply cares for Kaoru and his mother. Incredibly chivalrous and will refuse to take advantage of situations via unfair means, and will not fight people unless they are at their peak. Seeks strong opponents and will allow them to reach their full power for the sake of his honor.
Notable Attacks/Techniques: Unlike Kiryu, who has balanced style, Ryuji puts attack power above speed in his fighting style. He uses a somewhat sloppy but very effective street fighting style, which could easily send Kiryu flying several meters. He uses an array of haymakers, wild punches and fairly technical kicks to attack. When he's using a katana, he doesn't swing it with much technique and accuracy, but combines it with his normal physical attacks to deal large damage.
