Pleasure King (風俗王, Fūzoku-ō) is an antagonist featured in the Real Estate Royale side story of Yakuza 0.
Profile[]
Personality[]
Just like all the other Billionaires, the Pleasure King is driven by an insatiable pursuit of wealth and will frequently resort to violence when his fortune is threatened.
Background[]
The Pleasure King is a member of the Five Billionaires; the cabal of unscrupulous real estate moguls that controlled most businesses in Kamurocho during the 1980's. He controlled the area around Pink Street and specialized in adult entertainment, owning several brothels, soaplands, massage parlors and sex shops in that vicinity.
Involvement[]
Yakuza 0: 1988[]
The Pleasure King is one of the Billionaires that Kazuma Kiryu could take on after the Leisure King is defeated.
Once Kiryu acquires 60% of the Pleasure King's businesses, the Billionaire called Kiryu to the Teltel Boys Club. There, he challenges Kiryu to a date contest, where he'd have to score a date with a woman via the telephone club within a certain time limit. If he succeeded, Kiryu would get 10% of the Pleasure King's holdings or he would lose 10% of his own if he failed. Once the contest finished, it is revealed that the woman whom Kiryu had spoken to during the challenge was the Pleasure King putting on a high-pitched voice. Regardless of whether Kiryu wins or loses, the Pleasure King commands his personal bodyguard, Jaguar, to attack Kiryu.
Once Kiryu acquired 90% of the Pleasure King's holdings, the Billionaire confronted Kiryu on Pink Street and, along with a couple of his submissives and Jaguar, attacked him. Despite their best efforts, Kiryu wound up beating them all.
By this point, the Pleasure King had become enamored with Kiryu, so he asks that he and Jaguar be allowed to join his company, so he could continue seeing him. Kiryu turned down the Pleasure King's romantic advances but agreed to let him work at his company as an advisor and to let Jaguar become part of his security team.
Fighting Style[]
The Pleasure King uses Masato Aizawa's moveset. If distance is placed between himself and Kiryu, the Pleasure King will perform a charge attack where he either delivers a shoulder slam or a bear hug.
The Pleasure King dodges infrequently but blocks often and most of his attacks make him unflinchable; meaning his combos are difficult to interrupt.
