The Yakuza's Apprentice III

The Yakuza’s Apprentice III, titled Yakuza Candidate Part 3 in the original Yakuza, is the 47th mission in Yakuza and the 32nd substory in Yakuza Kiwami
==Plot==
When Kiryu finds Kano on Pink Street North, he has once again hatched a new plan: debt collection. Kano mentions the woman behind him in a red dress is actually the debtor. Apparently, she is extremely fast. They call her "Godspeed Yoko". Kano plans to jump her and Kiryu remarks that the plan will go poorly. The pair decide to try and sneak up on her. She senses a presence. Believing it to be a loan shark, she sprints out of the street. Ever the minion, Kano asks Kiryu to go after her.
Kiryu finds her in the parking lot on Shichifuku Street East. Yoko refuses to give up the money and says if he can knock her to her knees in one minute, she will pay the whole thing. After the fight, she runs away again. Kano finally catches up and mentions that she zoomed off toward the Champion District.
Kiryu finds Yoko in the parking lot North of Taihei Boulevard East. A chase sequence and Kiryu has to try to catch her. Knocking her down, she agrees to pay the money. A Yakuza collector comes in and demands the money they are owed. Kiryu refuses and another fight starts. After the fight, the Yakuza give up and retreat. She pays up her debt and says she is going to borrow more money soon. Yoko hopes Kiryu comes to collect. Kano appears and pays Kiryu ¥100,000. He also gives Kiryu a set of Steel Knuckles that Yoko left behind. Kano heads off to find yet another venture.

==Trivia==
*This substory is a little controversial in the west, given that the justification for Kiryu fighting Yoko, despite Kiryu promising to never beat women, is that she "used to be a man."
*Upon beating Yoko for a second time, she says that Kiryu is "way past cool!" This seemingly is a reference to Sonic the Hedgehog, with the two relating in their speedy nature.
*Yoko can actually be defeated if Kiryu equips a pistol to shoot.
