Majima body pillow, anyone?

Like a Dragon developer, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, ably assisted by publisher SEGA, wants to turn some of the series' zany virtual in-game items into real-world merchandise in honour of its 20th anniversary, which falls on 8th December 2025. Fans have been asked to democratically whittle down a list of 100 items, including traffic cones, lingerie, karaoke microphones, themed body pillows, and much, much more.
On a tailor-made website (thanks, Eurogamer) that must be seen to be believed, these extremely deep-cut references to the series' long history are begging to be made into actual merchandise. Nanba's vinyl umbrella, Captain Majima's pirate hat, Nishiki's luxury cigarette lighter, and a complete set of Sujimon cards; it's all incredible stuff. You can vote once daily, and RGG "guarantees" that the top-ranked item will be commercialised within two years.
