In Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (Pirate Yakuza), recruiting Surfer Jay requires obtaining the Kraken-Chan plush. This guide details how to acquire this item and add Jay to Captain Majima's crew.

Surfer Jay, located in Honolulu, boasts superior base stats compared to earlier recruits. However, his recruitment involves a unique quest. The easiest approach is to first acquire Kraken-Chan in Madlantis.
Head to the arcade games within the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range. A UFO Catcher game may contain the blue Kraken-Chan plush. If not, speak to the attendant to change the prizes.

Winning Kraken-Chan might require multiple attempts; ensure you have sufficient funds. Strategically use the claw to nudge the plush into the prize slot. Once obtained, return to Honolulu.
Locate Surfer Jay at Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center (use the mini-map to find recruitable members). After a conversation revealing his romantic woes, gift him Kraken-Chan to secure his allegiance.
While Jay doesn't offer unique perks as First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, recruiting him is essential for completionists. His cryptic clues don't make the process easy!
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
