'''Goro Majima''' is a character that is part of a multimedia series consisting of [[video game]]s, films, magazines, and music.  
'''Intelligent Systems''' is a video game developer.


He is a non-playable character in most games in the [[Like a Dragon|''Like a Dragon'' series]], but became a playable character in the spin-off ''[[Yakuza: Dead Souls]]'' and in the main series in ''[[Yakuza 0]]''.
==Programming team at Nintendo==
In 1983, [[Toru Narihiro]] was hired by [[Nintendo]] to port [[arcade]] games to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]]. He created a porting team that became an auxiliary unit within Nintendo that created system tools and hired people to develop, fix and port software.


Majima's likeness was used to Majima Gorohachi in the March 2008 issue of ''[[Kamutai Magazine]]''. Majima's likeness and voice actor were then used to portray Gorohachi in ''[[Like a Dragon: Kenzan!]]'' as well as a historical captain of the Shinsengumi, Okita Sōji, in ''[[Like a Dragon: Ishin!]]''
==Intelligent Systems==
The team became an independent company with the formation of Intelligent Systems in December 1986.


==Fictional character biography==
Although they were independent of Nintendo, they still remained close to the company, creating games for Nintendo consoles and working on games based on Nintendo properties.

Goro Majima joined the yakuza and became sworn brothers with [[Taiga Saejima]].


He was supposed to be part of a hit in 1985 on a rival gang with Saejima.
==Games by Toru Nahiro's team at Nintendo==
 
Instead, Saejima conducted the hit himself while Majima was captured, lost his eye, and was chained up.
 
After a year of torture, he was released to civilian life in Sotenbori, however, he was constantly watched by the yakuza.
 
In Sotenbori, he ran a successful cabaret with the promise that he would be able to return to Shimano's family if he raised 100 million yen.
 
He raised the money, but Shimano raised the debt to 500 million unless he killed a woman named Makoto Makimura.
 
Instead, Majima discovered a conspiracy surrounding Makimura. He protected her, uncovered the conspiracy, and returned to the yakuza.
 
When he returned to the yakuza, he adopted a manic personality and became known as the Mad Dog of Shimano.
