Saeko Mukoda is a recurring character in Yakuza: Like A Dragon and Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This LORA is based on her appearance in both games.

Training

Okay, this LORA is the first time I'm using increased Network Dimension and Alpha (8/64 vs default 2/16) since I felt that the previous LORA I released were a bit lacking in flexibility. This is also the first time I'm using JoyCaptions with only small adjustments on the resulting captions. So, in a way, this LORA can be considered experimental.

As expected, increased Network Dim/Alpha results in bigger file size (73MB vs the usual 18MB) but it's still very small in my opinion.

For the LORA itself, I have to say that I'm not really satisfied with the result. While Epoch 1 already gave me a good result, it's hard for me to recreate the outfits as I need to be quite specific in prompting the outfits. Higher Epochs are slightly easier to produce accurate outfits but unfortunately the faces they produce are kinda weird. I highly suspect JoyCaptions is the culprit here due to how overly descriptive it captioned the images. I only made a few adjustments to the captions and didn't really make sure the outfit description is consistent and just let JoyCaptions overly described the outfits and facial features/expressions. Oh well, lessons learned I guess.

After consideration, I'm releasing the Epoch 1 version as it produces the best facial likeness out of all the Epochs. I might do V2 sometime in the future.

Usage Tips

After limited testing, these are my recommendations. Please note that even with these, the produced outfits might be a bit inaccurate:

• Trigger words are young Japanese woman (recommended as it produces better accuracy but less contrast) or skmkd (less accurate but more realistic and better contrast)

• Using CGI in the prompt will make the images look slightly closer to the video game

• She has dark brown bob cut hair

• Her Yakuza: LAD outfit consists of:

  • necklace

  • white textured blazer with dark trim and gold buttons buttoned in the middle over a black top

  • matching skirt

  • black high heels

• Her LAD: Infinite Wealth outfit consists of:

  • necklace

  • grey, textured tweed jacket with a subtle check pattern, buttoned at the front

  • matching skirt

  • dark tights

  • black high heels

• Her sweater outfit consists of beige soft turtleneck sweater and pearl necklace

• Her funeral outfit consists of black blazer over a black top and pearl necklace
