Champion District

The Champion District is an area of small ramshackle cafes, bars, and clubs in the eastern part of Kamurocho. It is based on the real-life Golden Gai area of Tokyo's Shinjuku ward.
==History==
The Champion District is one of the oldest areas in Kamurocho. It played an important role in revitalizing Kamurocho after it burned down in the war.
It's also where Taiga Saejima and his sister Yasuko used to live back in 1985.
===Yakuza 0 ===
Looking for info on Tetsu Tachibana and his real estate company takes Kazuma Kiryu to the Champion District after learning that some of his men hang out there. He gets into a fight with some locals, then discovers that Tachibana intended to protect it from the Tojo Clan and the Dojima Family due to it's historical value.

===Yakuza 4===

After completion of Tanimura's Burning Bridges substory, a temporary substory marker appears in the Champion District marking a UFO that remains in the sky even after the marker has disappeared.
===Yakuza 6===
The Champion District is inaccessible during the events of Yakuza 6 due to restoration works taking place there.
