Like a Dragon: Ishin! Substory Guide

Like a Dragon: Ishin! has a total of 72 substories, which you are required to complete for Kyo’s Little Helper  , Saint of Kyo , and Saviour of Kyo which are specifically for completing 10, 40 and all substories respectively, along with Halfway There and Taskmaster as completing all substories in each area is counted for Completion List requirements. No substories are missable, and all can be completed after the story in Premium Adventure.

All substories need to be found in the game world, generally by going near specific characters or talking to them directly. These aren’t marked on the map in any way until you actually see the prompt for the substory, so you unfortunately cannot rely on the map to see the starting points for them.

Substories are listed by area as shown in the substory menu to make cleanup easier. This guide is updated for the international PS4/PS5 remaster version that released in 2023.
