During the “Searching Sakai” mission, you’ll receive useful details indicating that Imai Sokyu is situated in Western Settsu, particularly in the southwestern region of Sakai. For additional mission information, simply press left on the D-pad.

Referencing the image above, you can see Imai Sokyu’s precise location, conveniently located near the center of Sakai. While the mention of southwestern Sakai might be misleading, navigating along the main road heading south will lead you directly to him.

To track down Imai Sokyu, activate Observation mode by pressing the left trigger or L2. This will display blue and yellow markers across Sakai. Prioritize collecting the yellow markers, which denote resources crucial for enhancing your hideout. The blue markers signify quest-related objectives, including locating Imai Sokyu.

Imai Sokyu’s residence is located alongside the road, as indicated in the image above. Enter through the door to find Imai Sokun, the son of Imai Sokyu, awaiting inside.

Once you enter and the cutscene concludes, the mission will update. However, additional objectives remain. You must follow Imai Sokun and engage with the dialogue. An auto-follow feature is handy, allowing you to listen attentively without the need for constant input.

After the extensive dialogue sequence, you will successfully complete the “Searching Sakai” mission and be prepared to advance to the next main quest.
