"Kraken-Chan and Surfer Jay: Recruitment Guide for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii"

Embark on your sea-faring journey in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* as Goro Majima, the Captain of the Goro Pirates. To bolster your crew, recruiting key members like Surfer Jay can be a game-changer. Here's a detailed guide on how to find Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay into your ranks.

How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza

Surfer Jay, found in Honolulu, is a valuable recruit with higher base stats compared to earlier crew members. The recruitment process, though more involved, is rewarding. Start your journey by heading to Madlantis to retrieve the crucial item for Surfer Jay's recruitment.

Once you dock at Madlantis, head to the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, where you'll find a claw machine and arcade games. Focus on the UFO Catcher Game, which may contain the blue plush toy known as "Kraken-Chan." If Kraken-Chan isn't available, politely ask the attendant under the tent to change the prizes in the machine.

Winning Kraken-Chan might require multiple attempts, much like real-life claw machines. Ensure you have enough cash before you start. The trick is to maneuver the claw to push the plush until it falls into the collection slot. Once you've secured Kraken-Chan, return to Honolulu aboard the Goromaru.

In Honolulu, make your way to Tropical Coco at the Anaconda Shopping Center. Use the mini-map to locate the pirate member symbols with a bandana and sword, indicating potential recruits. You'll find Surfer Jay in a garage next to his surfboard. Engage in conversation with him, and he'll share his personal struggles.

As you delve deeper into his story, you'll discover that Kraken-Chan is essential for resolving his relationship issues and convincing him to join your crew. At the right moment, gift Kraken-Chan to Surfer Jay. This gesture will solidify his decision to join the Goro Pirates, with his base stats now visible in your crew roster. While Surfer Jay may not offer unique perks as First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, he's a must-have for completionists navigating the intricate world of *Pirate Yakuza*.

And that's how you secure Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay into your crew in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
