The Coliseum is a location in Purgatory in Kamurocho. Fighting tournaments take place here.
History[]
Like the rest of Purgatory, the Coliseum opened after the disgraced former police detective known as The Florist of Sai went underground to become a private information dealer. This happened sometime between 1988 and 2005.
Yakuza/Yakuza Kiwami[]
The Florist tells Kiryu that he will only give him the information he wants about Mizuki in exchange for fighting three rounds in the Coliseum. Kiryu wins the three rounds, defeating the reigning Coliseum champion Gary Buster Holmes in the process.
Yakuza 2/Yakuza Kiwami 2[]
Goro Majima has taken over temporary control of Purgatory and its Coliseum. Majima says that he will re-join the Tojo Clan to assist them in finding the bombs planted around Kamurocho, but only if Kiryu once again wins three rounds in the Coliseum. Majima himself is the final opponent.
Yakuza 3[]
The Coliseum has been closed for two years and is not re-opened until Kiryu once again renews his in-ring rivalry with Majima. Upon the completion of their fight, Nishida lets Kiryu know that the coliseum has officially been opened again.
Yakuza 4[]
In this game, Taiga Saejima is forced to have a fight to the death here. Just before he is about to strike the killing blow however, he relents. He addresses the booing crowd, telling them that they have no right to judge him, as they do not know his pain.
