Embark on your thrilling adventure in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* as Goro Majima, the fearless Captain of the Goro Pirates. Navigating the high seas to recruit unique crew members is a pivotal part of your journey. Here's your guide to securing the services of Kraken-Chan and enlisting Surfer Jay into your pirate crew.

How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza

Surfer Jay, a valuable recruit, awaits you in Honolulu. With base stats surpassing those of your initial crew members, he's a prime addition. However, his recruitment involves a bit more effort than usual, requiring some strategic sailing. The process can be tackled in any order, but heading to Madlantis first to secure the essential item for Surfer Jay's recruitment is advised.

Upon docking at Madlantis, head towards the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, renowned for its fun mini-games within *Pirate Yakuza*. Inside, you'll find the UFO Catcher Game, where you might spot the blue plush known as "Kraken-Chan" that Surfer Jay desires. If Kraken-Chan isn't among the prizes, approach the tent's attendant and request a change in the UFO game's offerings.

Like real-life claw machines, winning Kraken-Chan might take several tries. Ensure you have enough cash before playing. The best strategy is to maneuver the claw to nudge the plush into the prize slot, allowing you to add it to your inventory. Once you've acquired Kraken-Chan, sail back to Honolulu aboard the Goromaru.

Back in Honolulu, make your way to the Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center. If locating Surfer Jay proves challenging, utilize the mini-map to find the pirate member symbol, featuring a bandana and sword, which marks potential recruits. You'll find Jay lounging in a garage next to his surfboard. Engage in conversation, and he'll share his woes about love and heartbreak.

It turns out, Kraken-Chan is the solution to Surfer Jay's romantic dilemmas and the key to his joining the Goro Pirates. When the moment arrives, present him with the plush, and watch as he becomes part of your crew, his stats now displayed. While Surfer Jay doesn't offer exceptional stats or unique perks as a First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, for those aiming to complete *Pirate Yakuza*, recruiting him is a crucial step, despite the challenge in pinpointing the specific plush he seeks.

And that's how you secure Kraken-Chan and enlist Surfer Jay in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*. Dive into this engaging pirate adventure, now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
