A woman is heard being sexually assaulted by a gangster in an early cutscene. It turns out that the gangster has a fetish for giving women "rough massages", which is a form of groping, I guess.
A little girl is slapped by a villain, but otherwise unharmed.
No, but a woman is heard being sexually assaulted by a gangster in an early cutscene. It turns out that the gangster has a fetish for giving women "rough massages", rather than specifically raping. Some characters talk about this ambiguously in the game, and it sounds like they're implying rape, but that's technically not what's happening.
In a side story, the protagonist meets a character who is either a cross dressing cis man or a trans woman - the language is ambiguous. This character is depicted as insane and attempts to grab the protagonist. If they succeed, it's implied they sexually assault the protagonist. It's played for humour.
This side quest was cut from the most recent re-releases of the game.
A child had been abandoned by her birth mother before the events of the game. The two are briefly reunited, though it is shown the mother only has selfish reasons for doing so. She renounces her daughter again following this.
A character is killed and his hands and head removed and displayed to other characters. We don't see the body, the violence or the body parts, just the other characters reacting in disgust.
Kiryu is stabbed by an antagonist at the end of the game. He survives. There is another scene where an antagonist stabs someone through the hand with silverware.
There is a clown called Bob, who is a semi-recurring character in the games. He stands in one spot and can be talked to in order to receive special items.

There is a character in a few substories who is the embodiment of these cliches, being depicted as a promiscuous character who attempts to sexually assault the unwilling protagonist. Made even harsher by the original PS3 English translation with the protagonist making especially disparaging comments towards them. This character and all content involving them were removed from the remaster.
Not explored in a detailed fashion and barely addressed but several characters keep tabs and follow around other characters without their knowledge (ie: The Man in Black stalking Kiryu)

No, but a recurring plotline from the first few games involving a lovestruck guy who is being suckered out of his money by a greedy hostess concludes in this game when she lies and tells him he is actually her brother.
There is a dramatic moment just before the credits, but it's resolved just fine in the post-credits scene. This is one of the few Yakuza games where the ending isn't at least bittersweet, but straight up happy (except for those allies who died along the way).
