"How to Recruit Kraken-Chan and Surfer Jay in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza"

In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, you step into the boots of Goro Majima, the Captain of the Goro Pirates, embarking on a thrilling journey across the seas. A key part of your adventure involves recruiting unique crew members, such as Kraken-Chan and Surfer Jay, to bolster your team. Here's how you can add these two valuable members to your pirate crew.

How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza

Surfer Jay is a standout recruit you can find in Honolulu, whose base stats surpass those of many early-game characters. Recruiting him requires a bit more effort, but it's worth it for his skills. To start, you'll need to sail to Madlantis to obtain a crucial item for his recruitment.

Once you've docked at Madlantis, head to the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, where you'll find a variety of arcade games and a claw machine. Focus on the UFO Catcher Game, where you might spot the blue plush toy known as Kraken-Chan, which Surfer Jay is fond of. If Kraken-Chan isn't available, politely ask the attendant under the tent to change the prizes in the machine.

Winning Kraken-Chan can be challenging, much like real-life claw machines. Ensure you have enough in-game currency before you start playing. The trick is to use the claw to nudge Kraken-Chan until it falls into the prize slot, allowing you to add it to your inventory. After securing Kraken-Chan, sail back to Honolulu.

In Honolulu, head to the Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center. Use your mini-map to spot the pirate member symbols with a bandana and sword, indicating potential recruits. You'll find Surfer Jay in a garage, sitting next to his surfboard. Engage him in conversation, and he'll open up about his personal struggles.

As the conversation progresses, you'll discover that Kraken-Chan is the key to resolving Surfer Jay's relationship issues, which will persuade him to join your crew. When prompted, gift him the plush, and he'll become a part of the Goro Pirates, with his stats now visible. While Surfer Jay doesn't offer unique perks as a First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, he's a must-have for completionists. His recruitment can be tricky, but with this guide, you'll navigate it smoothly.

And that's how you find Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
