This post is random as hell I know, but the similarity was just too interesting for me to show the world. Check out this image of the Yakuza 3 picture with Ryu (in a pardon my back position..pause), and 50 Cent in damn near the same exact position. They just look too similar for it to be a coincidence, even though it probably is.

There is more information about the Yakuza 3 game at The Koalition, in case you were interested.
