== Involvement ==
=== Yakuza 5: 2012 ===
Madarame seeks to make a deal with Daigo, understanding that his own Yamagasa Family pales in comparison to both the Tojo Clan and Omi Alliance. His meeting with Daigo is sabotaged by a traitor in the Tojo ranks, however, and Daigo arranges for them to meet in a car instead. He tells Madarame that he had suspected an assassination attempt, and that their lives are in danger. Thus, Daigo plans to go into hiding, and will take advantage of the confusion surrounding his sudden disappearance. Before they part ways, Daigo tells him to exercise caution around Tojo Clan members.
A few days later, Minoru Aoyama arranges a meeting with him in the Yamagasa Family Headquarters. He attempts to kill Madarame, having believed the alliance to be pointless, though Madarame survives thanks to a bulletproof vest and merely sustains knife injuries. He is taken to a hospital to recover.
Mayumi takes Kiryu to see him, and he explains why he had Mayumi look after Kiryu, as Daigo requested it of him. He then gives Kiryu a letter ordering the disbandment of his family, saying that they've gotten too big for Fukuoka, and he hopes that dissolving the family will keep them safe. Kiryu thanks him for Mayumi's company before he leaves for Yahata's hideout. However, the Yamagasa Family remains intact after Kiryu personally stops the Tojo Clan war on the Yamagasa, unfolding a much larger plot in the process.
After recovering somewhat, Madarame and his family travel to Kamurocho to help surround Kamon Kanai, forcing him to surrender. Everyone in the vicinity bows to Shun Akiyama for his efforts in stopping Tsubasa Kurosawa.
