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

In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, you'll take on the role of Goro Majima, the fearless Captain of the Goro Pirates, navigating the seas in search of crew members to bolster your ranks. Here’s a detailed guide on how to recruit Surfer Jay and secure the elusive Kraken-Chan plush, which is essential for his recruitment.

How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza

Surfer Jay, a promising recruit located in Honolulu, is a valuable addition to your pirate crew. His base stats surpass those of many early recruits, making him a worthwhile target. However, his recruitment process involves a bit more effort, including a trip to retrieve a specific item.

Start by sailing to Madlantis. Once you've docked, head to the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, where you'll find a variety of arcade games and claw machines. Your target is the UFO Catcher Game, which may contain the blue plush known as Kraken-Chan, coveted by Surfer Jay. If Kraken-Chan isn’t available, speak to the attendant to request a change of prizes.

Winning Kraken-Chan from the claw machine can be challenging and may require multiple attempts. Ensure you have enough cash before you start. The trick is to maneuver the claw to push the plush until it falls into the prize slot. Once you've secured Kraken-Chan, sail back to Honolulu.

In Honolulu, head to the Anaconda Shopping Center and find Tropical Coco. Use your mini-map to locate the pirate recruit symbols, which will lead you to Surfer Jay. He'll be sitting in a garage next to his surfboard. Engage in conversation with him, and he'll share his personal struggles. When the opportunity arises, gift him the Kraken-Chan plush. This gesture will help him resolve his issues and join your crew as Surfer Jay.

While Surfer Jay doesn't offer unique perks as a First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, his recruitment is essential for completionists. His dialogue can be vague, making the task of finding Kraken-Chan a bit tricky, but with persistence, you'll succeed.

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