Asuka Kasen's Condo is the home of Asuka Kasen, co-leader of the Yakuza in Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Description[]

The building is located in the district of Newport, Staunton Island, close to a dock in view of Portland. Following "Last Requests", the condo becomes a home to Maria Latore, after she moves to Staunton Island with Claude to escape the Leone Family and Don Salvatore Leone, and is the base for Asuka Kasen's early missions in Grand Theft Auto III, afterward in Fort Staunton.

The compound consists of nothing more than a porch overlooking Southern Portland, containing a covered swimming pool, a pair of sunloungers and an entrance into the apartment building, which interior consists of only a simple flooring and wall. The condo is also identical to another apartment just across the parking lot to the south. The entrances into the condos' compounds also bear dragon-like signage, similar to the Yakuza's gang logo during early development of GTA III.

Near the compound are 2 parking lots. One surrounds the 2 apartments and contains a Blista and 2 Yakuza Stingers. The other one is located west of the apartments. It will contain a Landstalker and a Banshee.

Two Marinas are also located near the apartment. The one closest to the compound will have a Reefer and a Speeder docked there. The other one will have a Predator and another Reefer docked there.

In Grand Theft Auto Advance, the building is replaced by a two-storey house (named Asuka's Mansion in the game's map poster) due to different art design in the game, and is mistakenly located in Bedford Point, replacing the docks.

Influence[]

Both apartment buildings seem to represent more affluent housing projects in Manhattan. Structurally they resemble the Manhattan Plaza while locationwise projects in the Lower East Side such as the Penn South. Being directly on the waterfront also resembles Waterside Plaza. It also has a Japanese style Shoji entrance.
