Japanese gangs are actually maverick "freaks" born out of the past. They dress strangely, have tattoos and behave strangely. They often hold long knives, threaten villagers and even kill innocent people. The Japanese underworld originated from the abolition of the samurai class, and many samurai lost their focus of life and gradually turned to violent crimes.

Japan is the only country in the world that recognizes the legitimacy of extremist groups. As long as they operate within the legal framework, they will get legal licenses. Japanese gangs are becoming more and more standardized and disciplined. Legalization of gangs does not mean that they can break the law. If they break the law, the police will also arrest you. Conflicts between gangs are mostly conflicts between gangs, and there are few conflicts with ordinary people.

General situation and organizational characteristics of Japanese underworld organizations

Japan is the only country in the world that recognizes the legitimacy of gangs. As long as gangs operate under the established laws, they will get legal permission. Every year, the Japanese National Police Agency publishes a white paper detailing the number of violent groups and specific members in Japan. According to the Japanese police, by the end of 20 13, there were about 60,000 members of violent groups, while the members of the Yamaguchi group reached about 1. 1.6 million. Under the impact of the economic downturn and the active ban of the Japanese government, the members of the Yamaguchi group have been decreasing for many years.

In Japanese underworld, women are usually marginalized. Even the wives and daughters of gang members can only get a little higher treatment than servants, and sometimes they become tools for gang members to have fun. Women rarely hold power in gangs, but there are exceptions.
