Sorting the items you need to "give" (Invest) to Kamiyama to get full access to all his weapons and gear. sorted them by how you get them and by location so you can get them right away once that part of the story opens up and not risk missing any. Won't add any item you unlock from investing that are needed for further upgrades as you buy them from him for those.

putting items you can get in a different location/way by having them in ()

The items and locations taken from Cyriz guide on Gamefaqs and all credit goes to them: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps3/644272-yakuza-5/faqs/72848/kamiyama-works

Tips before you start investing
Don't open any Lockers with Keys as Haruka or you will have to wait until the story is over and Platinum Adventure is unlocked. (can still pick the keys up, just don't open lockers with them)

As neither the inventory or item box isn't shared, so any items are stuck until post game.

Also a quirk with this game in particular will not allow you to keep progress made there for a NG+ run so make anything before the point of no return in Kamurocho!
So it's permanently lost stuff if you wanted to use them in a ng+ Legend run.

You can make use of a trick to only use a single Mystery Stone: when you buy weapons the Mystery stone is only Required for it and won't be Consumed right away so you can use a single stone for all the weapons that need it if you buy them at the same time. don't keep more than a single stone in inventory or they will also be spent!

The Final tier of any Weapon (each cost 800,000 Yen!) is locked behind investing the Dragon type of that weapon and you need a Mystery Stone to buy them, the items you invest are:
Golden Dragon Bat
Divine Dragon Short Sword
Dragon Slayer
Mighty Dragon Spear
Raging Dragon Hammer
Twin Dragon Sticks
Dragon Horn
Dragon Nunchaku
Dragon Grudge Fist

You can also upgrade Shinadas Sturdy weapons, though you have to invest them first and each cost 100,000 Yen + a high tier weapon as material:
Sturdy Pipe: Colourful Umbrella. Atk 4->8
Material cost: Special police baton 58,000 -> Kamiyama Police baton 62,000 -> Colourful Umbrella 100,000 -> 220,000 + 100,000 thus only invest after you have 320,000 Yen

Sturdy Knife: Dragon Slayer Atk 5->8
Material cost:
Nameless Katana 4000 -> Sakura Storm 23,000 -> Photon Blade MG 20,000 -> Photon Blade PG 43,000 -> Dragon Slayer 200,000 -> 291,000 + 100,000 thus only invest after you have 391,000 Yen

Sturdy Pole: Mighty Dragon Spear Atk 5->6
Material cost:
Photon Blade WG 98,000 -> Mighty Dragon Spear 200,000 -> 298,000 + 100,000 thus only invest after you have 398,000 Yen

that makes more sense! thank you (:

This was made so it's easier to search up a source for an item needed thus why stuff bought from Kamiyama isn't included.
Hollowriller  [author] 7 Apr @ 5:39pm 
Items are listed as sources, if something can be bought from a shop you don't need to hold onto it, can always buy more later if they are needed.

If i remember right (it has been years since i played last) you only need to donate something once.
home of phobia 7 Apr @ 5:13pm 
when an item is listed 2 times (ex. the kamaitachi utility knife for shinada that is listed once under his substory and also under store/lottery), do you donate that item twice? that's just one example where a certain section has some item twice and im not sure if i need to hold onto it
Hollowriller  [author] 26 Feb @ 9:37am 
Been too long since i wrote this but i would guess from the same source you got the sturdy weapons, was it Shinada's trainer?
Do i have to talk to someone to get the Dragon Tail at the end of Shinada's side story? I cant seem to find it in any characters inventory.
Hollowriller  [author] 18 Feb @ 7:39pm 
Rewrote that section to make it a bit clearer what not to do.
Hollowriller  [author] 18 Feb @ 7:32pm 
Thanks for pointing that out, wrote it wrong back then.
It should have been don't pick up any locker key items with Haruka or they could be unavailable until postgame.

You actually don't need to worry about picking up keys as Haruka, once you reach the final part of the game before the last mission (Haruka starts training with T-Set) you will get all of her locker keys and can open the lockers as Akiyama.

No, never thought to take notes for prices or i would have put it next to buyable items in the guide.

Been so long ago i don't have a save for it either so can't check but best of luck with it :)
