Ichiban Kasuga Dives In: Dave the Diver x Like a Dragon Collab Launch

Big waves are coming to the Blue Hole, and this time, it’s bringing a dragon with it. We’re thrilled to share that Dave the Diver is teaming up with SEGA’s Like a Dragon series for an epic crossover event: Ichiban’s Holiday, launching April 10, 2025!

This time-limited DLC marks the arrival of Ichiban Kasuga, the charismatic underdog turned hero from Like a Dragon in Dave’s quirky underwater world. With his unmistakable charm (and wild combat moves), Ichiban brings a fresh wave of excitement to your deep-sea dives and sushi nights.

What’s in the Ichiban’s Holiday DLC?

New Storyline & Guests: Ichiban and the bartender from the legendary Survive Bar drop by the Blue Hole for a "relaxing vacation" but things go off the rails fast. Expect unexpected twists and lots of laughs as Dave’s world meets the chaos of Yokohama.
Arcade-Style Beat 'Em Up Action: For the first time ever, Dave the Diver introduces a side-scrolling brawler section. Play as Ichiban or Cobra as you infiltrate a pirate base packed with henchmen and over-the-top enemies.
Karaoke Comes to the Blue Hole: No Ichiban experience is complete without karaoke! Hit the right notes and relive the signature rhythm minigames the Like a Dragon franchise is famous for, now with ocean vibes.
New Staff & Restaurant Content: Recruit familiar faces from Like a Dragon to your sushi restaurant, unlock themed decorations, and enjoy new dishes that fuse culinary traditions from both worlds.
