YouTuber Yong Yea lands dream gig as voice of Kazuma Kiryu

We all have dream jobs, but very few of those come to fruition. However, sometimes, as cheesy as it sounds, dreams can come true.

One such dream is of popular YouTuber, Yong Yea, who has also made himself a career in the world of voice acting, but the last gig is his best to date. Yong Yea announced the news in his latest video and was clearly overwhelmed with understandable joy.

4 yrs ago I moved to LA with dreams of one day playing a AAA game protagonist. But I never imagined I'd land such a legendary role.😭

It's the greatest honor of my life to announce I’m the English voice of The Dragon of Dojima, KAZUMA KIRYU, in Yakuza/Like A Dragon Gaiden & 8.🐉 https://t.co/ebTatPZwNf pic.twitter.com/tSTq4Uwsgd
