Quick Links
The Yakuza series invites players to explore various aspects of Japanese culture, like playing Mahjong or visiting hostess clubs. In Yakuza Kiwami, you encounter a young woman named Yui at one of these clubs. By regularly visiting her, you can try to form a connection and win her affection.
In this game, gaining her love operates like a mini-game. You’ll need to make the right dialogue choices and take the appropriate actions to earn her favor. If successful, you can share a romantic moment with her, unlocking the "Yui The Hostess" achievement or trophy, which is a primary goal for many players. Here’s everything you need to know to win her over.
How To Find Yui
To begin, it’s essential to locate Yui. She works at Club Jewel, situated northeast of the Millennium Tower. However, you can’t enter the club right away.
First, you must visit the MEB located west of Club Jewel and inquire with the staff about this establishment. They will inform you about Yui and may even offer to guide you to the club.
How To Win Yui’s Affection
Yui’s affection operates on a ranking system. After each meeting, a progress bar will reflect your advancement. Filling this bar can elevate your rank, and to achieve maximum affection, you need to reach Rank S.
Achieving this rank requires you to employ the right conversation strategies, order her favorite food and drinks, offer gifts, plan dates, and wear suitable gear.
Food and Drinks To Order
Ordering the right items can significantly enhance Yui’s affection, but be mindful that they come with a cost. It’s advisable to stick with Orange Juice since it’s affordable and is one of her favorites. While she enjoys various champagnes, those are more costly, so reserve them for when your funds are ample. For food, the Fruit Platter and Chicken Karaage are popular choices.
What To Wear
The outfit you choose can impact Yui’s feelings toward you. If you wear something she likes, her affection will grow, but the opposite is also true. Although she dislikes many outfits, she particularly appreciates the Baseball Shirt from Don Quijote. You can also opt to remove all gear and accessories to avoid any negative impact on her affection.
Note: Your regular suit doesn’t affect her opinion.
What Gifts To Give Her
During your meetings, you will have opportunities to present Yui with gifts. However, her preferences can be tricky, as she is quite selective. She appreciates silver and gold bracelets from Le Marche, but most other gifts don’t impress her. Giving her the same gift twice will upset her.
Dates
You’ll have the chance to ask Yui out during your interactions. Usually, she’ll decline, but there are times she’ll accept. If she does, you need to go to the location she mentions.
When you meet her, you’ll be able to choose between ‘play’ or ‘shopping.’ Selecting ‘play’ offers a list of mini-games you can enjoy together, which also contributes to raising her affection.
How To Respond to Yui
To build your relationship, responding correctly during conversations is crucial. Here’s a table summarizing Yui’s possible questions and the ideal responses to cultivate her affection effectively:
| Yui’s Statement | Best Response |
|---|---|
| Oh, really? Did you quit your job? | I was in prison. |
| That’s why, when I first meet a new customer… | At least you’re honest. |
| I looked up some classes… | Cooking class. |
| They dragged me into it, but… | It’s your sister’s choice. |
| Men need to consider a girl’s feelings. | |
| They can be vague about it. | |
| Maybe they don’t like fun. | |
| The least he could have done… | That’s an old trick. |
| They’re jerks. | |
| How about "I love you"? | |
| The sooner you get him, the better. | |
| You’re not cute. | |
| What a weird guy… | |
| Not our business. | |
| Have a friend take them. | |
| Do you do that too? | |
| Challenge accepted. | |
| That’s certainly possible. | |
| Bet you’re in love already. | |
| Age really matters. | |
| I’m sorry to hear that. | |
| I don’t mind helping you out. | |
| Looking forward to it. |
Events

Subsequent Events
As you progress through these events, you’ll engage in dialogues that further deepen your connection with Yui. Each interaction is an opportunity to solidify your bond, ultimately leading to a romantic conclusion and unlocking the coveted achievement.
By following this guide, you’ll have the tools to win Yui’s heart in Yakuza Kiwami. Enjoy your journey through the game’s vibrant world!
