In the trend of internationalization, the competition in the gaming industry is becoming increasingly fierce. Players in different countries and regions have their own gaming preferences and needs. Although the Yakuza series has achieved great success in Japan, it faces many challenges in going global.

From the perspective of game culture, Japanese game culture is unique, such as the emphasis on character creation and plot. However, this uniqueness may be incompatible with other regional cultures during the internationalization process. The image and story of the character Kiryu are deeply rooted in the Japanese cultural context, but may not resonate in the same way in other cultures.

In terms of marketing, internationalization means considering the market characteristics and player consumption habits of different regions. Some regions may prefer fast-paced, competitive fighting games, and the game style and gameplay of the "Yakuza" series may not meet the mainstream needs of these regions. This has led to a difficulty for Kiryu to get widespread cameo opportunities in fighting games even though he is a beloved character.

In addition, copyright and cooperation issues may also limit Kiryu's appearance in fighting games. Cooperation between different game companies often involves complex business negotiations and copyright negotiations. In an international environment, there are more stakeholders involved and coordination is more difficult.

For game developers, internationalization means continuous innovation and adaptation to changes. They need to cater to the tastes of global players while maintaining the characteristics of the game. This is a difficult balance for the Yakuza series.

In general, the fact that Kiryu did not make a cameo appearance in the fighting game "Yakuza" reflects the many challenges and difficulties faced by games in the process of internationalization. Only by constantly adapting to market changes, respecting different cultures, and solving copyright and cooperation issues can we achieve better results in the global game market.
