The Yamaguchi Formation was founded by Haruki Yamaguchi in Kobe City in 19 15 with about 50 other dock stevedores. By the end of 2009, there were more than 55,000 registered members, accounting for about 45% of the total members of Japanese underworld organizations, with 850 branches all over Japan. The current team leader has been passed down to the sixth generation. Similar to the simplest government structure, the gang is controlled by the group leader, and there are several younger brothers, cadres and leaders under it, forming a pyramid structure. In addition, every region has leaders, deputies, advisers and many ordinary churches. Its help-seeking rules include: no disclosure of help-seeking affairs; No gang is allowed to kill each other; Do not rob privately; Don't break the rules; Bandits are not allowed to be introduced; Don't flirt with women in the same group; No picking up ashes or emptying cages; It is not allowed to divide the goods privately; Don't disobey the scheduling; Once you join, you can't leave. As the current team leader can see, the predecessor of Yamaguchi Group is actually a dockworker organization, and the opportunity for development is the economic depression before and the economic ruins after World War II. The beautification of the Japanese mafia in film and television images has great power support behind it, which shows that the Japanese mafia headed by the Yamaguchi group is eager to be whitewashed, of course, in the case of operating illegal industries. First of all, the Yamaguchi group has close relations with successive Japanese governments. Japan is the only country in the world that legalizes underworld organizations. As long as gangs operate under the established laws, they will be issued with legal documents.
Yamaguchi group is the largest gang organization in Japan, with a history of about 100 years, deep roots and certain influence in all walks of life in Japan. With the legal status of the right wing, the Yamaguchi group openly participated in various social and political activities and expanded its influence. The Japanese right wing achieved various political goals through the violent means of the Yamaguchi group. In recent years, with the frustration of national pride after the economic recession, the Yamaguchi group has a tendency to merge with the right-wing forces in Japanese politics. The main source of income of the Yamaguchi group is drug smuggling, followed by gambling and extortion, but the organization is also involved in performing arts, real estate and entertainment. Japanese gangs and American gangs have a lot in common: the opportunity for their establishment and development is the period of government power vacuum and social chaos. As I said before, the situation in Japan is actually more complicated. Mafia was originally a local group in Sicily that opposed French rule and had a nationalist spirit. Mortolla Frankish Kingdom, Italia Anela, Italian: This is Italy's wish to destroy France ",Mafia is the abbreviation of this slogan. Everyone has strict help rules, including the content of "goodwill" and the content of calling for loyalty to the organization (in fact, the second one is easy to understand and will never betray XX). Mafia gang rules include: members should swear allegiance to the gang, and if they betray the gang, their blood will burn; Members must know the friends of the gang through a third person and are not allowed to introduce themselves; You must respect your wife and never seduce a friend's wife; Be sure to draw a clear line with the police and don't be with them; Do not go to bars and clubs; Make sure you can work for the organization at any time, even if your wife is in labor.
The appointment made by the gang must be respected; When a gang member asks a question, he must tell the truth; If the money belongs to others or other family members, then you can't touch that money; Those who have close relatives as policemen, relatives in gangs, disorderly conduct and no moral values are not allowed to join gangs. Third, the main sources of income are illegal, so let's not talk about it. . .
Fourth, everyone has a lot to do with the government, which needs no explanation. Dare to do something illegal if there is no one up there?
However, it is worth noting that the status of Japanese gangs in China is higher than that of American gangs. Due to the legalization of its organization, Japanese gangs can openly carry out various activities, while American gangs must hide their eyes and ears and respond to various inquiries from the government.
Moreover, as I said before, members of Japanese gangs are "just" to a large extent, and in the American TV series we watch, there are few heroes who portray the underworld as just, and more are cunning, selfish and shrewd gamblers. In fact, this has something to do with the above-mentioned country's positioning of the underworld. The economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure determines the publicity image. Japanese gangs with legal right to speak and American gangs rejected by the government can naturally carry out "whitewashing" activities, which also leads to their different images.
Then I want to say that although the Yamaguchi group has made so many efforts and sold so many cuteness, it is still the same sentence: the perfect fly is just a fly. As long as this organization is still engaged in illegal activities, it is impossible to win the large-scale and sincere trust of the people. The Japanese attitude towards gangsters is still unacceptable, such as tattoos, the symbol of gangsters. People with tattoos, whether gang members or not, find it difficult to get in and out of various public places that need to be exposed, such as baths and swimming pools.
