Like A Dragon Gaiden Kokoro Romance
Your time with Kokoro follows the same rules as your relationship with other hostesses. You arrive at the Castle club, pay an entrance fee, and spend some time with Kokoro. She expects you to buy drinks, you have the chance to give a present, and you get to know each other through conversations. Every interaction either raises or lowers her affection meter, depending on what you do.
Some suggest Kokoro and other hostesses have favorite drinks, but I haven’t found that to be the case. Like in previous Yakuza games, Kokoro seems to prefer when you purchase more expensive drinks, so make sure you’ve got some yen in your pockets before deciding to go.
Gaiden divides your time with Kokoro into three ranks – zero, one, and two. You get a different selection of conversation topics to choose from in each rank, and picking the correct response gives you a significant relationship boost. You can pick the topics in any order, though every relationship rank starts and ends with a pre-set question. You don’t have to pick every topic to max out Kokoro’s affection meter. Unless you’re choosing incorrect answers, a few right choices will do the trick.
Make sure to buy and use the Mini-More Perfume from Ebisu before starting a date. It gives you a small affection boost for every positive action.

Kokoro gifts
Kokoro likes jewelry and prizes from the UFO catcher machine. You can max out her affection through conversations and drink orders, though, so you shouldn’t have to worry much about bringing something special every time.
