KHHsubs is a non-profit fan translation group. It worked on translations for Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan and Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin in the past. The group also worked on Ryu ga Gotoku Zero and Hokuto ga Gotoku. However, it abandoned both of those projects due to official releases. According to the group’s website, it was working on a translation patch for Kurohyou Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho as early as 2014, but halted the project sometime in 2015. The group’s current plans for Kurohyou appear to only involve releasing videos with subtitles.

Released in Japan in September 2010, Kurohyou Ryu ga Gotoku is a spin-off game in the Yakuza series. The game follows protagonist Tatsuya Ukyo, a ruffian youth framed for an assault. The title takes place in Kamurocho, where Tatsuya gets mixed up with the Tojo clan. The game never launched in western territories. Even with the growing popularity of the Yakuza series in the west, Sega still has not announced a release on modern hardware.
