Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan! (Japanese: 龍が如く 見参!, "Like a Dragon Arrives!") is a jidaigeki-themed spin-off game in the Ryū ga Gotoku series, known as Yakuza in English localization. The game was developed and published by Sega for PlayStation 3. It was unveiled at the Tokyo Game Show 2007 and released in 2008.

A second Ryū ga Gotoku series spin-off set in samurai era, Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin!, was released in 2014 on both the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation 4 systems. Ishin! is set two centuries later than Kenzan!, hence the plots are not related to each other since both games focus on different characters, the historical figures of Sakamoto Ryōma (1836-1867) and Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645) respectively.
