Freelancer

Freelancer (, Furītaa), also known as Yakuza (, Arakawa-gumi Kumi-in, lit. "Member of the Arakawa Family"), Arakawa Loyalist (, Moto Arakawa-gumi Kumi-in, lit. "Ex-Member of the Arakawa Family"), and Deadbeat (, Minarai Hōmuresu, lit. "Apprentice Homeless Guy"), is a job class featured in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. It is one of two jobs exclusive to Ichiban Kasuga, the other being Hero.
== Overview ==
Kasuga's Freelancer style moveset is as follows: a wide right hook, left hook, and uppercut combo for a basic attack, a stomp for an Opportune Strike, a wild haymaker that has Kasuga wind it up before throwing his entire weight into it (Tenacious Punch), headlocks (Rock Swing), headbutts from a lapel grab (Headbutt Barrage), dropkicks, a front kick to the face (Ruffian's Kick), an atomic drop, and a release German suplex. Kasuga can make use of the environment with the Heat Action, Essence of Roadside Weapon and can use a skill called Hyper Swagger to shadowbox and weave in place, causing his evasion and attack to rise.
