FAQ

Yes, in fact. Here's the gist of it:

1st: Murasaki Studios - changed due to it being already used by several individuals on social media, online groups (Among them, a Roblox group...?) and even a real-life company in Kyoto (albeit being "Studio" without the S.)

2nd: PurpleSpie Productions - A lazy hastily-thought of name to succeed the previous. Executive Director (Murasaki/formerly PurpleSpie) did not like it as it made him look like a self-aggrandizing narcissist using his online pseudonym directly in the studio name.)

3rd: We literally just add Kiwami as in "Yakuza Kiwami" because it was enough to differentiate from the first name and not currently trademarked/used by other entities. Using Kiwami in our name because of Yakuza won't get us sued, right? ...Right? (Please don't send 500 hitmen after me, SEGA.)

I just thought it was cool to have my passion projects the RGG Studio branding treatment because it looks cooler and would help stand out from other works.

...That's it.

TLDR: No money, no resources, and it would have made all of our projects (existing and new) be stuck in eternal development hell (when they already take pretty damn long enough to make in the first place).

Murasaki Kiwami Studios currently is not seeking to localize its series of mods for the Yakuza games ("Blakeuza/Murasaki Everywhere" and "Mann Ga Gotoku") outside of English.

The mods are made with the English localization/language setting of the Yakuza games as a foundation since I/Kazuki Murasaki (the IRL counterpart and studio director) only communicate(s) in English. 

Unlike RGG Studio, the direct inspiration and name-sake for Murasaki Kiwami Studios, MKS is not a real professional studio, as it is just a brand name for what is essentially a one-man team (that's me!). Realistically, I could NOT translate my mods and other works into other languages that may be requested from overseas fans, due to the sheer amount of time and resources this would require on top of the main development process of the studio's projects.

There's also the issue of localizing very niche pop culture references and jokes that come mostly from English-speaking/Western Internet circles, which might not be as well known in other regions or hard to translate into another language. 

I also do not have the luxury of paying a dedicated team of translators for other languages like Spanish, Vietnamese, et cetera, like real game studios, as there is literally no money at all that goes into developing studio works (outside of, well, paying for the actual Yakuza games and any present DLC content that can be modded). 

I acknowledge the possibility of those who may wish to "volunteer" in translating our projects, but we unfortunately will not allow it for the foreseeable future, as not to exploit the goodwill of our community, as this constitutes as unpaid labor. 

It started out as nothing more than a pseudo-social media rivalry between myself (previously under the alias PurpleSpie) and Blake Izayoi, a Touhou community figure famous on social media for being highly devoted to Sakuya Izayoi... Then I got the idea to portray it as a Majima-Kiryu dynamic, and soon enough, something beautiful was created... The first Blake Izayoi mod for Yakuza 0. 

Over the years, it has matured over time into a fully-fledged series of fanfictions and accompanying Yakuza mods (given the English name "Blakeuza", a portmanteau of Blake and Yakuza).

Mann Ga Gotoku is essentially my own own expansion of the TF2 story following the end of Comic 7: The Days Have Worn Away (which, by the way, was originally never planned before the comic released, so MGG had no consistent position in where it occurred within TF2 lore).

MGG also predates Murasaki Everywhere/Blakeuza by YEARS before I met Blake Izayoi. I like to consider it the DELTARUNE to Murasaki Everywhere's UNDERTALE, where the former was conceptualized before the latter, but the latter was published first to test the waters.

MGG also never had a steady origin. Long before Murasaki was a name for me (previously PurpleSpie), the original Spiare Security team was not separated from "sona" (myself) and character (Spiare Security was previously the "Purple Clan" as a lazy spin of the "Tojo Clan"), and never really had a proper story.

Mann Ga Gotoku wasn't even the main project name itself back then! The Purple Clan was also the name, while MGG was just the name for the mods. However, with recent retcons in August 2025, Mann Ga Gotoku was finally made into the universal project name for all its media, and Spiare Security became the new name for main protagonist David Spiare's private military company.

Major things for MGG are still in motion behind the scenes while we wrap up the Blakeuza/Murasaki Everywhere project. Stick around!

Hard answer: Absolutely not. Murasaki Everywhere is only a derivative expansion of Gensokyo Extra with the added Yakuza franchise lore and carrying over a lot of elements from the games, including its combat design.

For this next part though, I'll let Blake do the talking, courtesy of a message in his Discord server:

"Like Gensokyo Extra isn't canon to Touhou, Murasaki Everywhere isn't canon to Gensokyo Extra.

Unlike how Gensokyo Extra isn't endorsed by ZUN though, Murasaki Everywhere is endorsed by Blake (me) for being the highest quality story to come out of Gensokyo Extra lore so far." - Blake Izayoi, 12/29/25; (link to the message itself)

No. These aren't entirely new games obviously. At their core, they're just mods that make Majima into my sona and Kiryu into Blake, and whatever respective characters I felt were relevant enough to add to the mod. So, of course, Murasaki and Blake and anyone else in the mods obviously don't follow the exact same story beats of the Yakuza games 1:1... It'd make zero basic sense of all things, logical and chronological.

That's the main reason why I include the Murasaki Everywhere fanfictions as included side content in the mod downloads: for you to read the ACTUAL story about Murasaki and Blake.
