However, managing the cabaret club will become difficult without great hostesses that can pull their weight. On that note, here are the best hostesses inYakuza 0, and the tasks players must accomplish to obtain them.
Updated on August 27th, 2022 by Ritwik Mitra:If anyone would’ve stated a decade ago that one of the highlights in an excellent beat-em-up title would be managing a Cabaret Club where the employees leveled up with RPG mechanics, then it’s obvious that this person would be laughed out of the room.
This is precisely what makes the act of being the Cabaret Club Czar such a blast, with the player putting all their efforts into making sure that their clientele is completely satisfied when Club Sunshine opens. Here are some of the best hostesses players can use to make going through this Cabaret Club minigame a breeze.
20Junko
The hostesses that players can get from investing CP at the Shrine can be pretty hit-or-miss. That being said, a Silver Hostess pretty much means that players got a good haul indeed.
Junko is one of the hostesses thatplayers can get after investing 3 CP. She’s a pretty competent worker. With decent HP and a good Talk skill, she can definitely be a good asset… although the ultra-rich won’t really be happy with her presence on the table.
19Shiho
Shiho is a silver hostess who can be pretty decent during some of the Cabaret Club sessions that take place in the middle of the activity. Her high HP is easily her biggest strength, making her adecent acquirement for 3 CP.
However, one problem that arises with Shiho is the fact that she’s fairly mediocre in other departments, making her totally ineffective on richer clients. However, she can still be a faithful employee of the club until it finally hits the big leagues.
18Shinomi
Silver hostesses who specialize in two fields are pretty rare. This is precisely what makes Shinomi such a great hire for Club Sunshine, appearing as one of the many hostesseswho can be recruited through the Shrine with 3 CP.
She can definitely be quite skillful and show a lot of love, but all silver hostesses have their limits. As long as players choose the appropriate clientele for her and don’t push her too much, Shinomi can be a decent pick all the way to the end of Cabaret Club Czar.
17Hiroko
There are certain hostesses that can be scouted by Majima to bolster the ranks of Club Sunshine. Hiroko is one such hostess who isfound on the western side of Sotenbori near the pay phoneand will be wooed over to join the club with an offering or a scarf or coat.

Hiroko is pretty durable and can develop a pretty high Love stat. She might falter in other departments, but this shouldn’t be an issue as long as players use her to specialize with one particular type of client.
16Erranda
Errands on the Run is a pretty hilarious sidequest that sees an unfortunate boy become a mule for a manipulative girl. After Majima sees him in this sorry state multiple times, he decides to fix this issue… only for the substory to end in a totally unexpected and hilarious manner.
After completing this substory, Majima will be able to hire the hilariously-named Erranda for his club. She’s a silver hostess who’s great at partying and is pretty funny to boot!
15Shizuka
Gold hostesses are the best hostesses that players can attain in the game, aside from the six Platinum hostesses that are in a class of their own. Thus, any hostess that fits within this category is bound to be quite special indeed.
Shizuka is no exception to this rule. Her high HP meansshe can be quite resilient during arduous times with demanding clients, and her skill speciality means that those who want a hostess that fits this bill will definitely be pleased. Players need tospend 3 CP at the shrine to get this hostess.
14Seiko
Seiko is a great all-rounder in the looks department, and the fact that she’s a Gold hostess certainly adds more weight to her capabilities as a hostess. Like Shizuka (or any other Gold hostess), she’s a reliable member to keep on the team.
Her high Love stat makes her a great choice to tackle clients with this requirement.The 3 CP spent to get herat the Shrine will be more than worth it.
13Koizumi
With high HP and Party stats, Koizumi is a greatYakuza 0hostess for players to employ in Club Sunshine. Her extremely cute looks are a major bonus as well.
Along with the above two, Koizumi is one of the many hostesses thatrequires a 3 CP investment. However, she more than makes up for it with her amazing output and resilience. She’s a great pick for the club.
12Akina
Akina is another hostess thatcan be obtained from the Shrine for 3 CP. She’s a great addition to the roster, mainly due to her high Talk and Skill stats.

These stats can prove to be invaluable in moments when players need to employ highly-skilled hostesses near the latter half of the Cabaret Club Czar sidequest. Here, Akina can truly shine and give guests the royal treatment they deserve.
11Miss Isobe
The disco minigame can be somewhat frustrating for players to wrap their heads around inYakuza 0. However,players who finally get the hang of this quest with Majimacan unlock a string of substories that are quite hilarious to watch unfold.
Completing both these stories will allow players to recruit Miss Isobe as a hostess. Her high HP and Party stats are to be expected — after all, she was a regular at the disco!
