The Road to Fame

The Road to Fame (, Aidoru e no michi) is Haruka Sawamura's side story in Yakuza 5. Shun Akiyama is featured in the icon as he shares a part with Haruka, however, he is not personally involved in the side story and does not have one of his own.
==Overview==
In early summer 2011, Mirei Park encounters Haruka and convinces her adoptive father Kazuma Kiryu to leave Morning Glory Orphanage and hide his connection to her, as ties to a yakuza would end her career. Haruka did not want to leave, but Park would provide finding for the orphanage and Kiryu had already agreed, so she followed through.
Six months before the start of the game, Haruka had arrived in Sotenbori to start life as an idol under Dyna Chair. She engages in various activities and events as part of her occupation and trains day and night with her instructor Kan Ogita and later Christina. Hiroshi Horie serves as her publicist and Misa Yamaura serves as her vocal coach. Uda from the Merchants' Association helps organize certain events. Haruka is paid for her jobs and she sends money to her orphanage.
The missions are split into two categories: Dance Battle Stories and Work Missions. Work Missions focus on the various activities Haruka does as an idol while Dance Battle Stories focus on Haruka's struggles with adapting to her new life as well as the people she meets through dance battles.

While the other side stories are mostly self-contained in terms of the rewards they give, The Road to Fame increases Haruka's idol stats which help in her concerts as well as dance battles.
