Outside the theater, Like a Dragon merchandise is part of Sega's retail expansion. SEGA STORE OSAKA opened on October 2, 2026, on the sixth floor of Shinsaibashi PARCO, carrying Osaka-only items and Like a Dragon T-shirts made with fashion brand glamb in Kazuma Kiryu, Goro Majima, and Ichiban Kasuga versions at 9,900 yen each including tax.
