anybody else wonders what happened to kuze ?

[Currentlyface]

i cant help but wonder what happened to him after the events of yakuza 0 we never ever see kuze or shibusawa in the future series i cant help but think about what happened to them after the events of yakuza 0 any ideas ?

[Devsman]

He probably just turned into a random thug who keeps following Kiryu around in hopes of getting his ass kicked some more.

So really you've probably fought him hundreds of times.

[13LACK ORDER]

There's no need to worry what happened to him as he just one time characters and have no improtance outside their own game. similiar to Ryudo family in Y3 or Tanimura in Y4

[Starl1ght]

AFAIK, they are jailed for a lot of time.

[Lar Dass]

Probably left jail during the events of y3 or y4 and just layed low

To Quote the Yakuza Wiki; the Plot of RGG Online

After spending 10 years in prison, Kuze is released and is offered a chance to return to the Tojo Clan by Third Chairman Masaru Sera and his predecesor, Takashi Nihara, if he completes a special mission for them. Tojo headquarters had learned that the Jingweon Mafia were currently trying to recruit Ryuji Goda for a partnership, which could lead to the Jingweon and the Omi Alliance joining forces against the Tojo. Kuze's mission would be to assassinate Ryuji and the Jingweon agent trying to recruit him, Joon-gi Han.

Kuze, accompanied by Ichiban Kasuga of the Arakawa Family, eventually track down Ryuji and Han to Nagasugai, Fukuoka and make their move against them. However, their fight is interrupted by Omi forces led by Wataru Takayama, a rival lieutenant of the Go-Ryu Clan who also wanted to kill Ryuji, prompting Han and Ryuji to split up and flee to lose all their attackers. Kuze managed to keep pace with Ryuji and took him on by himself, but was unable to defeat him. Soon after, Ryuji would be cornered in a bridge by Takayama and his men, after which he was seemingly killed and thrown into the Naka river by Kasuga. Unbeknownst to Kuze and Takayama, Kasuga had only wounded Ryuji and tossed him into the river to recover him and take him to a doctor later, since he'd decided to defy the Tojo Clan's orders to kill him.

A few weeks later, Kuze followed Kasuga after a Tojo Clan meeting and tailed him to the underground clinic where Ryuji was recovering. Infuriated that Kasuga disobeyed his orders, Kuze attacked him and Ryuji, but the younger yakuza defeated him. Impressed by their fighting prowess, Kuze decides not to inform the Tojo about Kasuga's betrayal. He also warns Ryuji that while he, Takayama and Han's boss from the Jingweon were searching for Ryuji's body, he'd overheard Takayama conspiring with the Jingweon Officer to kill Ryuji's father, Jin Goda, and stage a coup to install Takayama as the next Omi chairman. Ryuji and Kasuga decide to travel to Osaka to intervene and, once they convince him that Takayama and the Jingweon will team up to go to war with the Tojo Clan after they take over the Omi Alliance, Kuze agrees to go with them.

Kuze, Ryuji and Kasuga travel to Osaka and find that Takayama's initial attempt on Chairman Goda's life was foiled by Han, who betrayed the Jingweon to save the Chairman out of guilt for not preventing Ryuji's apparent death. The coup culminates with a brawl in Sotenbori, where Ryuji, Kuze, Kasuga and Han battle Takayama, his men and the Jingweon forces. Ultimately, Takayama and his conspirators are defeated and driven out of the city.

Since Kuze and Kasuga failed to kill Ryuji and Han, Nihara wants them killed, but Chairman Sera refuses, since despite failing their initial assignment, they thwarted an even bigger threat against the Tojo by stopping the alliance between Takayama and the Jingweon. Ultimately, Kuze does not rejoin the Tojo Clan and presumably continues to live on as a civilian.
