    Read "Tokyo Vice" by Jake Adelstein. Ballsiest guy I know, and stared down one of the worst yakuza bosses and won.

    Kevin, would the Korean gangster who showed you the weight lifting move be considered yakuza or are they completely different groups in korea?

    I used to read books about the Yakuza a lot. It's quite an interesting subject if you're into that kind of thing.

    From what I understand (from residents) at least in Fukuoka, the Yakuza have earned a lot of respect and admiration from the people. They're more known as keepers of the peace than anything else

    We have one here in the states that dates back to the 80s called Cobra Kai. They don't use weapons...they just sweep the leg. The best defense against them is a crane kick.

    @darksidepvp probably true. After the 1995 earthquake here in kobe, the Yamaguchi gumi reacted much after than the government. they supplied food, blankets, clothes and even cash to those in need.

    @darksidepvp This is very true but the Yakuza didn't want the press on their charitable works. It went largely unnoticed.

    Is it true that when the tsunami hit Japan, the Yakuza were one of the first to respond by sending out trucks with supplies to the hardest hit and remote areas affected? I remember the BBC posting a story about it but wasn't sure if it was true or not.
