….this short video is alright but let me fill you guys in on something as a Japanese and inform on why this is happening. One of the reasoning behind “gangs” rising up is because yakuza for quite a while now have been what Japanese say “tainted”. Meaning, that the reason there has been a decline in the Yakuza is not just because of the police but members decided to move on because a lot of the ideology has been “tainted” by the influence of Korean-Japanese members. So because of that members left and moved on in life and many have decided to start their own factions “gangs”. Yakuza doesn’t hold its value or name anymore as it once did. With police or with society. Before there was a level of respect but now they’re just disregarded by the public…….lot more to it but that’s the word in the street :)

@@C.Bastard pretty much….but it’s deeper than that. Historically, Koreans, mainly the old heads, (and rightfully so) have a hatred for Japanese because of colonial times and some f’d up stuff the Japanese did to Koreans during that time. So even until now, they pass that hatred on to new gen and continuing the cycle….but it’s not necessarily because they’re Korean it’s because yakuza has always been a culture heavy based organization, and since Koreans started coming in the culture and structure was not there as much. So you started to hear about them fighting internally

The principal of my Junior Highschool was Enson Inoue’s mother. Still remember when his brother Egan Inoue was offering jiu jitsu classes at school. Wish I would’ve took it then but at the time nobody really knew about jiu jitsu so I jus passed on it. If I’m not mistaken I believe it was free also. Time flies tho this was back in 1998

If these guys say there is no strict hierarchy in their organization and they are all "equal"....then this is the Japanese version of the Italian 'Ndrangheta. Japanese authorities should really pay attention to it since this type of mafia is way more dangerous and reckless than the usual Yakuza or Sicilian mafia.

Yakuza are losing power in many directions in Japan. Society doesn't even consider them anymore. The gangs will find a gap in that vacuum and I'm not convinced the Japanese police will have a method of countering it. A gang with high potential for violence in a polite society where the police negotiate with a calm organised crime is a recipe for disaster once that gang understands the power it holds. Hopefully they keep innocents out of it.

Japan is going to have more problems since these gang clusters are not organized and their crimes are more sporadic. In the Yakuza at least they had a strict structure keeping the underlings in check.
