Events of 2D Universe

GTA 1

The Yakuza appears in the second San Andreas chapter, in the Tequila Slammer. They have stolen shipments from El Burro. The player is then told to destroy some of their limousines and finally steal one from them.

GTA 2

the Yakuza, led by Johnny Zoo, are based in Anywhere City and control the Funabashi, Shiroto and Ukita areas of the Downtown District. The Yakuza are involved in a violent war against The Zaibatsu Corporation and the Loonies. Zoo employs Claude Speed to move Doctor ZitZaki, who is being targeted by The Zaibatsu Corporation. He then has Claude work as a getaway driver for Hiroshi, who commits a bank robbery, and then attack the Loonies. The Loonies then attack Gama Rei, with Claude rescuing him with a Medicar. Zoo then turns his attentions to The Zaibatsu Corporation, who have a Yakuza snitch, who is followed by Claude to his base, allowing Claude to collect torturer Refried Noodle and bring him to the snitch. Zoo then has Claude steal a SWAT Van and then destroy a Tank. Claude then begins to work for The Zaibatsu Corporation and the Loonies, working against them, and at one point has to escape from pursuing Yakuza members. Zoo, angry at Claude, begins to chase Claude in an attempt to kill him (at the same time as Zaibatsu leader Trey Welsh and Loonies leader Elmo), although all of them are killed.

Other members include Hana Funabashi (Johnny Zoo's girlfriend), Danny Zoo (who maybe related to Johnny), Yonsi Zoo San (an elderly man barely kept alive on Zaibatsu drugs) and business man Tetsuo (who owns the Hochi-ban Bar).
