His repertoire of moves along with bombastic Heat Actions ensure that players can wallop most enemies with ease, but underestimating any encounter can have dire consequences for the Dragon of Dojima if he isn't prepared. Thankfully, Yakuza Kiwami is generous with its restoratives, ensuring that Kiryu will always be stocked up no matter what situation comes his way.

8 Toughness Z

Restores A Decent Amount Of Health

Cost: 650 yen
Where to Find: Convenience stores, Kotobuki Drugs, and drops from random encounters

Toughness Z is a handy resource to gain a bit of health when the going gets tough. In the early parts of the game when Kiryu doesn't have a lot of health to spare, this medicine can be crucial in a pinch.

Sure, the usefulness of Toughness Z deteriorates as players progress through the story and unlock Kiryu's abilities, but most players can still load up on this resource and imbibe multiple units of this medicine to bring themselves back to fighting shape in no time.

7 Staminan X

Restores A Decent Amount Of Health & Heat

Yakuza Kiwami Best Upgrades- Evasive Weaving

Cost: 1200 yen
Where to Find: Convenience stores, Kotobuki Drugs, and drops from random encounters

The Staminan medicines do a great job of restoring both Health and Heat, making them some of the best restoratives fans can get their hands on in Yakuza Kiwami. Even the relatively low-tier versions of this medicine is worth housing for their restorative powers.

Not only can Kiryu restore his health with Staminan X, but he also enjoys a much-needed boost to his Heat, too. This allows players to wallop most enemies to kingdom come and heal up in a single move, which is useful for obvious reasons.

6 Toughness ZZ

Restores A Moderate Amount Of Health

Cost: 2200 yen
Where to Find: Don Quijote, Kotobuki Drugs, and drops from random encounters

As players progress in Yakuza Kiwami, they'll need potent restoratives to ensure that Kiryu's growing health bar is kept in tip-top shape at all times. This is where the Toughness ZZ can prove to be invaluable.

A single dose of this medicine can bring Kiryu back to fighting shape in no time. If players are struggling against a certain boss, it's recommended to carry a bunch of this medicine to ensure that they aren't pushed against the ropes for too long.

5 Staminan XX

Restores A Moderate Amount Of Health & Heat

Cost: 3400 yen
Where to Find: Don Quijote, Kotobuki Drugs, and drops from random encounters

Restoring Health is fine, but a Heat boost along with this vitality replenishment is something that can help players enjoy a power fantasy for the ages. Such is the case with Staminan XX, an expensive yet welcome restorative item that's a joy to use in battle.

Watching Kiryu come back from a vicious blow with enough Heat to punish anyone who was giving the player a tough time is a treat. It's a decent boost for both Health and Heat, making it a must-have restorative during some of the game's tougher fighting sections.

4 Toughness Emperor

Restores A Large Amount Of Health

Cost: 7300 yen
Where to Find: Kotobuki Drugs, Coliseum Shop, and drops from random encounters

When players get their hands on a Toughness Emperor, they are encouraged to stash it for a rainy day. After all, it provides such a massive health boost that using it during a time when Kiryu's health is too low is nothing short of a waste.

However, by the time players reach the final third of the game and complete a decent chunk of substories, they should be able to make the most of this restorative. The Toughness Emperor is a trump card that players should ideally save for a rainy day, given how easily it can turn the tide of battle in a flash.

3 Staminan Royale

Restores A Large Amount Of Health & Heat

Cost: 12000 yen
Where to Find: Kotobuki Drugs, Coliseum Shop, and drops from random encounters

One of the most beloved restorative items in the entire series, the Staminan Royale is a guaranteed way to reach the Climax Heat Gauge and heal Kiryu up in no time. No matter how hard a battle may seem, players don't have to worry if they have this useful resource handy.

A single use of this restorative is all it takes for players to secure victory in a battle. Not only is their health almost maxed out from critical levels, but they can also unleash powerful Heat Moves against a boss that is getting too overzealous with their attacks.

2 Toughness Infinity

Restores All Health

Cost: N/A
Where to Find: Casino and drops from random encounters

One of the rarest restoratives in the game, it's possible to go through the entire game without getting one's hands on a single dose of Toughness Infinity. This is an intentional design choice, given how overpowered this item is.

In a game where Kiryu can access his healing items without breaking a sweat, it's easy to see why the game makes players think twice before using a dose of Toughness Infinity. If players get their hands on this restorative, it's recommended to stash it in the Item Box and never take it out unless they're planning to take on the final fight or the superboss.

1 Staminan Spark

Restores All Health & Heat

Yakuza Kiwami Best Upgrades- Essence of Extreme

Cost: N/A
Where to Find: Casino and gambling hall

Players who love to gamble big may be elated to find out that one of the rewards for their illicit activities is the Staminan Spark. It's the best restorative in Yakuza Kiwami (and other games in the series) by a country mile, and the rarest one to boot.

This item maxes out Kiryu's Health and Heat, making it a must-have if players want to have all their bases covered for the game's toughest fights. Only the strongest fighters around can compel players to bring out the Staminan Spark in their time of need, making it a valuable item that should never be wasted.
