Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is a studio within Sega CS1 responsible for more recent Yakuza games. It was spun off from CS1 after the development of Yakuza: Dead Souls was completed.

According to Masayoshi Yokoyama, one of the leads of the studio, the studio is not a company organization but rather a "concept" or a "production team", much like Sonic Team. For non-Yakuza games, it has been used in Japan for Binary Domain.
