Blakeuza Kiwami
The prime of two fearsome fighters.
Following Murasaki's abominable arrival into Gensokyo on December 5th, 2015, the amnesiac Mad Dog of Sotenbori had sworn what he calls an eternal rivalry with the Scarlet Devil Mansion's chief butler Blake Izayoi. What follows? Nothing but pure unadulterated chaos!
Well, on the surface, that is.
What seems to be physically-violent mischief is the only language Murasaki has ever known, and he will do everything it takes to regain his lost memories and techniques from the Outside World. And what better way to do so, than to constantly challenge the man with peace and stability, and the strength to defend his own principles?

Version history
Beta/Version 1
Previously named "Blake Izayoi Kiwami". The first to properly introduce (albeit now very inaccurate to the canon) the Kazuki Murasaki character. Came with its own version of Triple AAA's Legend Remix Kiwami that adds new moves for Murasaki's movesets as Majima (including porting Majima's original unarmed moveset from Yakuza 3 for Murasaki's Thug Style, and porting portions of Yakuza 5 Majima's moveset for Mad Dog).
Also used beta Murasaki models that originally used Kiryu's hair under the trademark Murasaki hat before the Y0 Majima ponytail would be the permanent hairstyle going forward for better consistency and visual quality. Also first to introduce Taiga Hamjima (previously just named the same as their creator Spooky Hamm) into the lore before the Murasaki Everywhere story canonized him as a much more serious character with more basis on the real Taiga Saejima's personality and archetype.
Also had a very poorly made Flandre-themed Haruka Sawamura model. Not Murasaki's proudest creation.
2025 Redux/Version 2
2025 Redux significantly overhauled and fixed the previous version while still mostly being the same. Also the first mod to be branded as "Blakeuza".
Adds new Murasaki costumes for Murasaki Everywhere gameplay, although some of the references are now a bit out-dated. (Namely the Mettaton EX outfit for 24-Hour/Idol Murasaki and DDLC's Yuri for the Goromi outfit)
Also debuts the characters "Mister Expo" (Murasaki Family Lieutenant and insert for Ripjaw66609/_funkin) and "Hiyatin" (Murasaki Family Captain, insert for cursed_cretin97, both from Blake Izayoi's Discord) as Majima Family NPCs Konno (The guy Majima beats up for not laughing before his Chapter 5 boss fight) and Hiyama (Chapter 1/Tutorial Thug ["Excuse you? No, FUCK you!" from the dub]) .
And no, despite the date it was released, it was NOT an April Fool's joke. :p
Update 2.1 (2025)
A hastily-prepared emergency update for the mod in wake of RGG Studio's announcement of Yakuza Kiwami's PC release on Steam being delisted and replaced with the "2025" version that ports over the new localization database files and other QOL changes from Kiwami's Switch 2 port. However, Version 2.1 also served to not just be compatible with Kiwami's new update, but also improve Blakeuza Kiwami across both versions of Yakuza Kiwami with better models and slight tweaks to the gameplay, porting over some Murasaki models from Blakeuza Zero Director's Cut.
Murasaki, by default, now forgoes his original turtleneck suit and makes use of his original Sotenbori handyman outfit (His retextured Yakuza 0 Majima casual tuxedo).
Idol Murasaki got refurbished from being based off Mettaton EX to Murasaki's "CRT Whiz" outfit (Hatsune Miku's outfit from the music video for STATIC by Flavor Foley, which became canonized media in Murasaki Everywhere and central to Murasaki's early backstory) .
Koizuki Komeiji (A Koishi disguise for Murasaki) got reverted back to the Hannya-Man disguise, where it was simply just Majima's Hannya-Man mask edited onto Murasaki's default model.
Additionally, the UI was updated to use Blake's better fighting style icons from BZDC, and character profiles were massively redone to be more streamlined and accurate to the Murasaki Everywhere story.
An official standalone version of Update 2.1 was previously released on April 23rd, 2026, solely to be made compatible as an add-on to MinhGunKiss's ambitious "EXActions Kiwami" mod, which overhauls Yakuza Kiwami's combat and mechanics to use those from the Dragon Engine games (Every game since Yakuza 6 to Yakuza Kiwami 3)...
The separate Legacy EXActions compatibility build was subsequently delisted due to unresolvable compatibility problems and reports of widespread crashing. This delisting applies to the EXActions build; the standard Legacy edition remains the linked download.
Update 2.1 — Legacy EXActions Edition (delisted)
Released as a standalone compatibility build for MinhGunKiss's EXActions Kiwami. It was later delisted after reports of widespread crashing and unresolvable compatibility problems.
Update 2.2 (2026)
Update 2.2 was released for both editions on July 12, 2026. At that time, the K1R edition removed Legend Remix and became a cosmetic-only mod because Legacy PAC data in wdr.par conflicted with the additional language entries in K1R. The K1R build was later delisted due to unresolvable compatibility and crashing errors.
Released the day right before Blakeuza Zero DC's 1st Anniversary update.
The changelist is as follows:
-
Blake gets his blue irises for all his models (mostly reused from BZDC, with shaders also adjusted back again for Kiwami 1).
-
Blake also no longer has his Sakuya irezumi to be consistent with his true character and the design philosophy as of Blakeuza 3 and BZDC's release.
-
-
Also updated his c_at_kiryu_majima model to use Murasaki's newer higher quality turtleneck suit from Blakeuza Zero Director's Cut's 2026 update.
-
Fighting style icons now use their new versions from Blakeuza Zero Director's Cut 2026 Update
-
Tweaked the subtitles of a few Majima-included cutscenes to reference the OG Y1 English Dub for shits and giggles.
-
Once again redid the Character Profiles in Notebook to be more streamlined
-
2026: Removed two certain RGG characters' extra profiles, rewritten the bios for Blake, Murasaki, and the Murasaki Family.
-
Kiwami Remastered / K1R edition (delisted)
The K1R mod has been delisted due to unresolvable compatibility and crashing errors. Removing Legend Remix in Update 2.2 did not resolve the remaining problems. No K1R download is offered on this page.
