'''Saaya Kawai''' ({{JP|川合 紗綾}}, ''Kawai Saaya'') is a character featured in ''[[Yakuza: Dead Souls]]''. She is a hostess working at [[JeweL]] and can be requested by [[Goro Majima]].

== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
Saaya is shown to wear two outfits; a fitted pink jacket and black boots, and her usual hostess dress. Her dress falls to her knees, and is adorned with a large bow that spans across the bodice. Her reddish-brown hair comes down to her mid-back, though most of it is tied up in a messy bun and can be assumed to be longer when down.

She wears a heart-shaped necklace and a matching pair of silver earrings. Her nails are painted pale pink, likely done by herself, as she has a passion for nail-art.

Saaya displays an interest in possibly undergoing facial reconstruction surgery, expressing her distaste for her round face.

=== Personality ===
Saaya is a self-professed princess, and loves to be spoiled more than anything. She prefers to stay indoors and laze around, eating pickled plums and playing with her cat Mon, who she constantly talks about, much to Majima's bafflement.

== Substory ==
In Saaya's substory, her ex-boyfriend, Shinji, steals Mon from her apartment and brings him into the quarantine zone in an attempt to force Saaya into taking him back. Majima finds him in his office in Millennium Tower and rescues Mon from him, refusing to escort him out of the quarantine zone and leaving Shinji to fend for himself.

|quote = Saaya is a laid-back girl from Gunma prefecture. Like many youth these days, she talks a lot! Saaya is so popular, there's no chance you'll get her without asking for her by name. If you luck out and get her business card, you'd better court her night and day! She's 21, a Gemini, and her blood type is A! She likes fried chicken, but hates myoga ginger. Heh heh... Once you get used to her talking about herself so much, you'll probably fall for her hard.
