Ep. 19 - Yakuza: Loyalty and the Lawless Life

from Japan Reach · host John Sensei

The Yakuza is a Japanese organized crime syndicate with roots tracing back to the Edo period, known for its strict codes of conduct, hierarchical structure, and deep entrenchment in Japanese society. Traditionally involved in gambling, extortion, and black-market operations, the Yakuza has also operated semi-openly, often maintaining offices and engaging in charitable acts to cultivate a Robin Hood-like public image. Despite its criminal nature, the organization has at times cooperated with authorities during disasters, blurring the lines between outlaw and protector. In recent years, however, Japan has intensified crackdowns, leading to a decline in membership and influence, though the Yakuza's shadow still lingers in parts of Japan's business and underworld. Japan Reach - Reaching the Japanese people one relationship at a time.  www.japanreach.org
