If you think the Yakuza dominating Japan's entertainment industry is interesting, what's even more interesting is the Chongryon (an organization with close ties to North Korea in Japan) once dominated the gambling/pachinko industry. They sponsored everything from credit unions to newspapers. What led to their downfall, was that the government realized they were helping fund the DPRK's nuclear program
The 3,000 from the report that number was given is a deceptive because those were only the "made" members of the Mafia in the US. "Made" men lead groups of others who would be considered as being in the Mafia, but in leadership positions and the total number of Mafia members and affiliates was/is much, much higher.
The situation is very different. The central government in Japan has far more power than any central or south american government. Also, the military is far more loyal. If the violence would've spiraled out of control, the government would've declared martial law and have the military shoot Yakuza on sight. Or basically every Japanese person with Tatoos. And the Japanese people woould've been okay with that. Doing something that is a threat to the state in Japan would be completely suicidal, even for tha Yakuza.
Random killing distracts away from the real business of killing your enemy Not to mention potentially pissing off people who you would want to incorporate into your organization after you win
That first part where you break your way in through the main door then fight your way up, is a lot harder in reality, layers and layers of enemy gang members and barricades, heavy doors, maze of stairs, officers to get through, it sounds like the games yes but imagine how difficult it would really be

Yakuza Kiwami 2’s plot is heavily influenced by this even if the dates are off anyone who’s played it will see the similarities Shindo splitting of from the Tojo clan taking half the manpower The ambush and assasination of the patriarchs in the elevator The war between Tojo Clan and Omi Alliance
Sort of. The Tojo Clan are based on the Sumiyoshi-kai. The Omi Alliance were based on the Yamaguchi Him. While they are sort of based on true events I wouldn't say it was a one to one correlation. But since they did say something about a Yakuza 0 Part 2. They could do this and they have the best character for it. Masaru Watase. Since he is the Omi's equivalent of Kitty.

That’s the Sicilians for you. Say what you will about them, but very few cultures have stronger familial ties and a communal identity than those you’d find in Sicily way back when, which makes sense considering that Sicilian history is basically them being invaded over and over and over again. Phoenician and Carthaginian, Greek, Roman, Vandal and Ostrogoth, Byzantine Greek, Aghlabid, Kalbid, Norman, Aragonese, Spanish and so on. All had one thing in common, they tortured and oppressed the native Sicilians. Is it any wonder, with so many cruel and corrupt governments controlling them, that the Mafia sprung up to act as a secondary government of their own that still persists to this day. Revenge was a family obligation, so their vendettas could persist for centuries, perpetuating the cycle of vengeance. What’s even more astounding is just how many of these mafiosi were strongly religious. Devout Catholics, they wouldn’t even take the name of the lord in vain but in the hot blood of vendetta, they’d shotgun the pope himself for breaking Omertà. You could also compare the American Mafia, who were just a bunch of cowboys. The most famous mob war is probably the Prohibition-era Chicago Gang War that spanned from 1920 to 1931 and only killed 500 to 1300 people in total, but was fought with far more brutality and sadism than World War I (for starters, a gangster was thrown out of car while burning alive onto a busy public street in 1928). Also, the war wasn't just for the control of all illegal booze, the gangsters were fighting each other for control of the whole city, as the mayor at the time, Big Bill Thompson, was nothing more than a corrupt, insane puppet for Al Capone to control.
So the most famous Yakuza gang war ended due to a combination of police crackdowns and excessive financial strain and NOT due to Kiryu Kazuma ripping his shirt off and punching his way through a battalion of heavily armed men culminating in a one-on-one showdown with Final Boss. Well, that's anticlimactic.

A video on the 5 major mafia families of New York's Mafia would be amazing. My favorite family out of the 5 was the Gambino family. Who's boss was Carlo Gambino, an Italian-American crime boss.
Hey simple history, nice vid. I have a video suggestion (if you don’t mind of course) we all know that you are no stranger to snipers, (you might not know this sniper) he has a total of 642 confirmed kills, he fought in the 2003 Iraq war, against American soldiers and he fought as an Iraqi sniper his main weapon is the Tabuk7.62mm rifle, although Wikipedia says it’s a dragunov (don’t blame them they look exactly the same) And he recently died in 2017 by militias, apparently American soldiers/marines were so scared of him they gave him the nickname "Juba" which means Instant death or death in any form. I think it would be interesting if you make a video about him
Definitely a George Soros funded bot No Iraqi Rambo is still alive and Abu Salih is the guy I’m talking about which is his real name and he was killed in action in 2017, but thank you for asking me
I recommend sir about how the Philippines discovered by Ferdinand Magellan from Spain then gets fight with Lapu-Lapu the Philipine Hero. Hope you'll make some animations for this sir and I know lots of your subscribers will love it!
You need to go to Hawaii if you want contraband weaponry. If a Yakiza wanted you dead he’d beat you to death with his own hands or stab you with knives, as well having tons of people dead isn’t exactly good for business. If a crime syndicate’s most important statistics for you is the kill count you’d be the worst criminal in history
9:30 this was actually true they tried to contact Michael who was In the area and knew that he was writing his next album and wanted to sponsor his first few shows
WE had many Japanese coming to stay in Vancouver, BC for a few years and one in 88 was a mistress of a real mobster in Japan, active in Hawaii in the hotel/entertainment business. When Japan arrested him they picked him up in a Limo and we saw it on NHK Japan TV. The mistress asked us to sell many items to try and raise bail. His wife...........just bailed.
I remember that being on TV here in Japan. The Yakuza went completely crazy in the 1980s- even seizing all of the country’s land assets and raising land prices by 2000% in 1 year (1986), causing the land prices in Japan to be more expensive than all the land in North America and Europe COMBINED. The Royal Palace ALONE was worth more than all the land in the United States. When they lowered the housing prices in 1992, they left millions of people homeless and scammed. They were completely crazy.
@@x6621 Economic stagnation followed. We are all still feeling it as Japan took over a decade to crawl out of the problem, and in some ways, still is. That meant a slow down in world class research and innovation in Japan in robotics, medical fields, manufacturing, supply chain advances like digital tracking and refrigeration that Japan had lead the world on, so we all got hit.
But the Japanese Yakuza Mafia was followed the Yama-Ichi Yakuza War (1985-89) were exile in Japan and moved and arrival to the Philippines since 1986 with the Filipino mafia was followed the given the drug dealers, big money and weapons and followed them in the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolt against Marcos Regime and among the Japanese Yakuza and Filipino Mafia around in Metro Manila were arrested by the Integrated National Police, the Philippine Constabulary and the National Bureau of Investigation and put to Philippine Prison and Back to Japan.

I have a video suggestion (if you don’t mind of course) we all know that you are no stranger to snipers, (you might not know this sniper) he has a total of 642 confirmed kills, he fought in the 2003 Iraq war, against American soldiers and he fought as an Iraqi sniper his main weapon is the Tabuk7.62mm rifle, although Wikipedia says it’s a dragunov (don’t blame them they look exactly the same) And he recently died in 2017 by militias, apparently American soldiers/marines were so scared of him they gave him the nickname "Juba" which means Instant death or death in any form. I think it would be interesting if you make a video about him
Definitely a George Soros funded bot No Iraqi Rambo is still alive and Abu Salih is the guy I’m talking about which is his real name and he was killed in action in 2017, but thank you for asking me
not real man must be propaganda in your country because he is definitely not responsible for 20% of americans killed in IRAQ war
MelikeSandler I know you might think Saddam Hussein is a lier but even Wikipedia says that he has 642 confirmed kills
TheFandrian the wall (featuring John Cena) was a good movie but the Americans never killed him In real life
Crime syndicate against another crime syndicate.
I dont remember Yakuza being about real life events
Haha, good one
I recommend sir about how the Philippines discovered by Ferdinand Magellan from Spain then gets fight with Lapu-Lapu the Philipine Hero. Hope you'll make some animations for this sir and I know lots of your subscribers will love it!
Both sides must’ve been stormtroopers, with a war 2 years long and 25 deaths
No its that Japans norm isn't daily gangland shootings, so when there are any, for Japan, its a lot
You need to go to Hawaii if you want contraband weaponry. If a Yakiza wanted you dead he’d beat you to death with his own hands or stab you with knives, as well having tons of people dead isn’t exactly good for business.
If a crime syndicate’s most important statistics for you is the kill count you’d be the worst criminal in history
that we know of...
I wonder what Al Capone and Clyde would think of them
Or El Chapo and Pablo Escobar
10:00 Ladies and gentlemen, WE GOT 'EM
I have learned more in this video than an entire month of school
This war seems to be so well known that it even got covered in the first chapter of Teddy Boy manhua/comic
I appreciate the AE86 for a “period correct” appearance in 1980’s Japan 10:35
7:47 most badass assassination animation in 2020.....
Simple histories I love your videos keep up the good work
Do a video on the Norco shootout in 1980 that was an insane story
*Yakuza:* “DAME DA NE! Dame yo, dame nano yo!”
LOL
When you want people to remember The Yakuza games
Pretty good tho
This makes me want to play the games again.
彼らは私をプッシースレイヤーと呼んでいます！
Dame dane, dame yo....
9:30 this was actually true they tried to contact Michael who was In the area and knew that he was writing his next album and wanted to sponsor his first few shows
Love the content !
Great me to
You did a great job giving this video an 80's style. It's like the Japanese GTA Vice City
Who else loves when they upload something?
Me
I see yakuza, I instantly think of “archer” 🤣
This is literally the plot of Yakuza 2
Sick videos! You’re the only hope of my intelligence surviving during quarantine. Keep it up. 👍🏼
Delete the second and make the nice thing your comment. We don’t like to hear “First” or “second”
nono your not
HuskyNinja09 happy?
I wouldn't be surprised if Takeshi Kitano had taken this Yakuza war as inspirationfor his films.
Love your content bro keep it up
7:52 it looks like Yakuza Kiwami 2 scene
Absolutely enjoyed the video. Can't wait for more on the history of gangs.
WE had many Japanese coming to stay in Vancouver, BC for a few years and one in 88 was a mistress of a real mobster in Japan, active in Hawaii in the hotel/entertainment business. When Japan arrested him they picked him up in a Limo and we saw it on NHK Japan TV. The mistress asked us to sell many items to try and raise bail. His wife...........just bailed.
I remember that being on TV here in Japan. The Yakuza went completely crazy in the 1980s- even seizing all of the country’s land assets and raising land prices by 2000% in 1 year (1986), causing the land prices in Japan to be more expensive than all the land in North America and Europe COMBINED. The Royal Palace ALONE was worth more than all the land in the United States. When they lowered the housing prices in 1992, they left millions of people homeless and scammed.
They were completely crazy.
@@x6621 Economic stagnation followed. We are all still feeling it as Japan took over a decade to crawl out of the problem, and in some ways, still is. That meant a slow down in world class research and innovation in Japan in robotics, medical fields, manufacturing, supply chain advances like digital tracking and refrigeration that Japan had lead the world on, so we all got hit.
11:12
"his ears, tongue and middle-finger had been cut off"
can still quite clearly see ears on body and no wound on either hand
It was an animation and he was facedown in water?
GOod greif start your own damn channel and do it then
But the Japanese Yakuza Mafia was followed the Yama-Ichi Yakuza War (1985-89) were exile in Japan and moved and arrival to the Philippines since 1986 with the Filipino mafia was followed the given the drug dealers, big money and weapons and followed them in the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolt against Marcos Regime and among the Japanese Yakuza and Filipino Mafia around in Metro Manila were arrested by the Integrated National Police, the Philippine Constabulary and the National Bureau of Investigation and put to Philippine Prison and Back to Japan.
Fix your grammar
These type of gangster videos are really interesting, maybe you could do one on some historic british gangsters like the krays Richardson’s or maybe the real peaky fookin blinders.
