A '''gamepad''' or '''game pad''' is a [[video game]] controller that is held by both hands and is controlled by pressing buttons primarily by using thumbs.
'''''Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name (龍が如く７外伝 名を消した男, Ryū Ga Gotoku 7 Gaiden: Na wo Keshita Otoko, "Like a Dragon 7 Side Story: The Man Who Erased His Name")''''', is a side story to the [[Like a Dragon|''Like a Dragon'' series]] that takes place between ''[[Yakuza 6: The Song of Life]]'' and ''[[Yakuza: Like a Dragon]]''.  


==History==
It will be released on November 9, 2023.
[[Gunpei Yokoi]], the then-manager of [[Nintendo Research & Development 1]], created the directional pad, or D-pad, for the [[Ball]] [[Game & Watch]] system in [[1980]].


The first gamepad was the [[NES Controller|controller]] for the [[Family Computer]], which was designed by [[Nintendo Research & Development 2]] and released by [[Nintendo]] in Japan in [[1983]]. It used Yokoi's D-pad design on the left half of the gamepad for control, two action buttons on the right half, and a select and start button in the center.
==Story==
In [[2016]], the politician who succeeded Minoru Daidoji in the latter's faction helped the former fourth chairman of the Tojo Clan [[Kazuma Kiryu]] fake his death to protect the children who were under his care at Morning Glory Orphanage.


The original Family Computer controllers were hardwired, but for the console's international redesign, the Nintendo Entertainment System, the controllers contained plugs so to make them interchangeable. The Nintendo Entertainment System was released in North America in [[1985]], followed by other markets in the following years.
Because of this, Kiryu signed a pact to become a disciple of the Daidoji faction, serving as a secret agent, going on missions under the codename Joryu.
