Embark on an adventurous journey in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, where you step into the pirate boots of Goro Majima, the Captain of the Goro Pirates. As you navigate the high seas, your mission is to recruit a diverse crew, including the elusive Kraken-Chan and the talented Surfer Jay. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to add these unique members to your pirate crew.

How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza

Surfer Jay, a Pirate Recruit candidate located in Honolulu, is an excellent addition to your crew formation. With base stats that surpass those of earlier recruits, he's a valuable asset. However, acquiring Surfer Jay involves a more intricate process than other recruitments, necessitating some sailing. While the order of the steps is flexible, starting your journey at Madlantis to retrieve the crucial item for Surfer Jay's recruitment is recommended.

Upon docking at Madlantis, head towards the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, a highlight among the game's mini-games. Inside, you'll find a UFO Catcher Game within the claw machines and arcade games. Your target here is a blue plush named "Kraken-Chan," which Surfer Jay holds dear. However, Kraken-Chan might not always be available as a prize. In such cases, approach the attendant under the tent and request a change of prizes in the UFO game machine.

Similar to real-life claw machines, securing Kraken-Chan may require multiple attempts. Ensure you have sufficient cash before starting. The trick is to use the claw to nudge the plush towards the slot until it falls in, allowing you to add it to your inventory. Once you've obtained Kraken-Chan, set sail back to Honolulu to find Surfer Jay.

In Honolulu, head to Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center, accessible by cab, street surfer, or on foot. Use the mini-map to locate the pirate member symbols, featuring a bandana and sword, indicating potential recruits. You'll find Surfer Jay sitting in a garage next to his surfboard. Engage in conversation with him, and he'll share his woes about heartbreak and relationship issues.

As the conversation unfolds, you'll discover that Kraken-Chan is the key to resolving Surfer Jay's relationship troubles and convincing him to join the Goro Pirates. When prompted, present the plush to Jay. His base stats will then be displayed, officially welcoming him into your crew. While Surfer Jay doesn't offer exceptional stats or unique perks as a First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, he's a must-have for *Pirate Yakuza* completionists. The challenge lies in finding the specific plush he desires, and his dialogue may not always be the most helpful.

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