Ghosts from the Past

Ghosts from the Past is a Kamurocho substory in Yakuza 3.
==Plot==
While browsing magazines in a convenience store, Kiryu notices a young man staring at him and then heading outside. Leaving the store, the young man approaches him and asks Kiryu if this is him, showing a newspaper article from three years ago after the Millennium Tower bombing. One of the pictures of the article did show Kiryu but the young man was actually wondering if he knew the homeless-looking man behind him in the photo, as the man is his father and he's disappeared for 14 years after his money-lending company went under. Clueless, Kiryu says he should ask the company that published this article, but the young man's cellphone is dead so Kiryu makes the call for him. Kiryu gets in touch with the author of the article and asks about the photo, the author says the photographer's name is Yanai and he'd probably be at Shellac in the Champion District. The young man becomes pleased he has a lead, saying "that bastard" will "finally get what's coming to him", and runs off. 
Suspicious of the young man's intentions, Kiryu heads into Shellac but the man leaves already informed of his father's location. Kiryu then talks to Yanai about what's happening, revealing the young man's father is Hirata of Peace Finance, the same company Kiryu collected debt from 14 years ago. In the picture taken for the article, Hirata was actually planning to kill Kiryu but stopped when Yanai was taking photos. The son was going to go kill Hirata since when his company went down his daughter was forced to go into sex work and his wife died from stress. Yanai tells Kiryu to stop the young man from killing Hirata at West Park.
Kiryu finds the son threating his father and intervenes. The son, realizing who Kiryu is, starts blaming him and they begin fighting. When the fight's over, Hirata pleads Kiryu to stop as he reconciles with his son and they hug. Yanai appears taking pictures of the moment.
