Goro Majima is a reoccurring boss from the video game series Yakuza.
Background[]
In his early years, Majima planned a hit with his sworn brother Taiga Saejima on the leader of the Ueno Seiwa family in order to promote the Saisai Family. However, Majima recieved a phone call on the day of the hit from Shibata, who told him to cancel the hit under Shimano's orders. Majima refused and as a result, he was ambushed and Shibata took his eye out with a knife. Afterwards, he was sent to a torture chamber, where he spent a few of his years as punishment from Shimano for failing to follow his orders.
Once he was released from the chamber, he was put under the surveillance of Sagawa and sent to Sontebori, where he was made the manager of a cabaret club. During his time there, he was given a job to hit a girl named Makimura Makoto, which he failed to do so and instead kept him safe from the Yakuza. Despite his efforts, Makoto eventually fell into Yakuza hands, where she was shot, but managed to survive. In order to make sure the Yakuza wouldn't go after her again, Majima fought his way through the Dojima Family HQ and tried to kill the head of the family, but was stopped by Masaru Sera who informed that the land the Yakuza were hunting Makoto for had been sold.
Afterwards, he was promoted to a lieutenant of the Shimano family and parted ways with Sagawa, meeting Kazuma Kiryu in the process.

There are three styles he uses in close combat - Thug, Slugger and Breaker and Mad Dog.

- Thug Style: A generic fighting style where Majima punches and kicks to attack. Majima is also fairly agile in this style, as he can dodge punches fast enough to get behind his opponent and snap their necks. He can also wraps his legs around their heads and bring them to the ground.
- Slugger Style:This fighting style involves the use of a baseball bat. Majima can use it for steady combos, hard swings that can hit mutple opponents at once, or he can swing it around fast like a nunchaku.
