Tatara Channel

The Tatara Channel is a channel appearing as a plot element in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. It stars the fictional avatar of Tatara Hisoka. 
==History==
The channel has been secretly run by Chitose Fujinomiya since 2016. Initially unsuccessful with an all-time high of 10 viewers under her control, she ran the channel anonymously as a source of freedom from her controlling family. In 2020, Eiji Mitamura partnered with Chitose, granting the channel increased production values including viewership, with Eiji acting as a scriptwriter. Using Eiji's past experience as a journalist and technical skills, the channel became a source of investigative journalism, and exploded in popularity, gaining millions of subscribers. In reality, it was used as a propaganda outlet by Eiji and his ally, Masataka Ebina of the Seiryu Clan. As Chitose had used the channel to expose the crimes of her father's Fujinomiya group, Eiji was able to use the threat of exposing her identity to compel her to continue running the channel.
In 2022, the channel exposed Ichiban Kasuga by using out-of-context clandestine footage to frame him as attempting to build a gang by hiring ex-yakuza, when in reality he had simply been trying to help them find work. The footage also smeared Ichiban's close friends, Yu Nanba and Koichi Adachi. Ichiban and Nanba lost their jobs, while Adachi's security company went under due to the bank refusing to loan him money. This change in their circumstances made Ichiban willing to travel to Hawaii to meet his mother, a planned event by Ebina who had Jo Sawashiro send him there. This proved to be the last straw for Chitose, who broke contact with Eiji and moved to Hawaii to work as a housekeeper for Akane Kishida while finishing her studies.
In 2023, the channel, with Eiji now using a substitute voice actor due to his falling out with Chitose, proceeded to expose Kazuma Kiryu as alive. It later falsely framed him as trying to revive the Tojo Clan by misrepresenting a video of him meeting with Taiga Saejima, Daigo Dojima and Goro Majima. Chitose later did a livestream on the channel to expose Bryce Fairchild, and she had her father confess to his crimes to give the confession credibility. Eiji was later arrested when his involvement with the channel was exposed.
It is unknown what happened to the Tatara Channel afterwards.
