Yakuza
Yakuza pictures reveal that the structures of the hierarchy of the organization. A servile lackeys lights a cigarette for a conductor, conscious posing with the wicked cold in Hollywood, is a pit bull from the man with a handkerchief tied around his head like melon. Rated by striking posters in the streets covered with Japanese kanji, the context shows age prostitutes, men pay nervous, beaten and another victim: a keyframe, an argument important of course exploded in a game of Go
"In terms of style suits the performance yakuza are not gone, but the function that large companies. Like any major undertaking criminal groups have offices clearly the logo of each group. Member lapel sports lead to ID cards their positions within the Union. Some bands even publish their own magazines and telephone directories internally. Normality nearly 9-to-5 day of a typical member of yakuza contrast with the U.S. ethnic criminal groups, often conducting business from the road, the places and at unusual hours. "Like their counterparts in the legitimate business world, the Japanese crime groups, people appear to be highly profitable. Although income is difficult to estimate Given the secretive nature of yakuza activities greatly, the NPA in 1989 the assumption that organized crime groups in Japan have won at least Y1.3 billion ($ 9.6 billion at Y135 = $ 1.00). Of this total, the estimates of the Japanese police just about one third of the sale of drugs (especially amphetamines) another third comes from gambling, extortion and intervention in civil cases and the rest comes from various activities. Like the mafia, the Yakuza power structure is a pyramid with a patriarch in the top and loyal subordinates of various ranks below him. The hierarchy of the Mafia is relatively simple. The capo (boss) rules family with support under your boss and consigliere (counselor). At the next level, the team captains for the implementation of the soldiers who are partners (Men who have not been formally admitted to the Mafia) to make their submission.
Yakuza system is similar but more complicated. The guiding principle structure is the relationship yakuza-oyabun Kobun. Oyabun literally means, "The role of the father"; Kobun means "The role of the child." When a man is accepted into the yakuza, must accept this relationship. He must promise unconditional loyalty and obedience to their leader. The oyabun as any good father, is obliged to provide protection and good advice their children. However, as the old Japanese saying states: "If your boss says that the raven White is going, then you should agree. "As the yakuza researcher, Kobun must be willing to be a teppodama (bullet) for their oyabun.
The levels of management within the structure are much more complex than the Mafia Yakuza. Immediately below the kumicho (paramount chief) are the saiko Comon (Senior Advisor) and what is honbucho (head office). The wakagashira (number two) is a regional leader responsible for leading numerous bands, is assisted by the fuku-honbucho, which is responsible for several bands of his own. A regional director is a shateigashira minor, and often hateigashira-HOSA for help. Typical of the Yakuza crime family will also dozens of shatei (the younger) and many wakashu (junior leaders). A successful candidate for admission to the Mafia must participate in a ceremony where the trigger finger prick and blood stained the image of a saint, which then caught fire and started burning in his hands as he swears his loyalty to the family.
"The yakuza initiation ceremonies, blood is symbolized by sake (rice wine). The oyabun and launched sitting face to face and sake is prepared by azukarinin (guarantors). The love is mixed with salt and fish scales, then carefully poured in mussels. Oyabun Cup is filled to the brim, as befits its status, the insider receives much less. They drink a little, and then change the cups, and each other drinks the cup. "The Kobun He sealed his commitment to family. Since that time, the same woman Kobun and children should take a seat back to their obligations to his yakuza family.
The Yakuza is a society of all men. They do not trust women. Women are visible in the group's first wife, called Ane-san. Ane-san means "big sister". All members to give the same respect as the leader because she is his wife. However, it does not engage in the business. His position in the group was the first wife, not a member of a group.
The yakuza do not trust women because they believe that women are weak. They believe that women can not fight like men, that women are born to fight. A member of the yakuza, the most important thing is courage. If there is a battle, you must be prepared to fight to the death, instead of losing the battle. Yakuza members must be willing to die for their boss. They feel women are born to be mothers and care for their husbands. It may seem outdated, but all members of yakuza think women should stay home and care for their children and do not meddle in the affairs of men.
Another reason the Yakuza does not allow women in their organization is that nobody can talk about the group from outside. Yakuza do not think that women are strong enough to keep silent if interrogated by the police or his enemies. If someone talks, which group. For all these reasons, the yakuza are the company of a man.
The yakuza have their own way of apologizing when you make a mistake or do something wrong. This is called "Yubizume." Yubizume is the act of cutting a finger and give it to the person you are apologizing a. The yakuza society, if we m embers was imprisoned for some reason, the prestige gains when he is released from custody
The yakuza earn their living primarily through corporate b illegal, such as gambling, drugs, prostitution and loan sharking. Most funds come from the game, often dice games. Each group has its own playroom, usually behind a bar or restaurant. Food and beverages are served, but the main goal and the game, the group chose the players. If you do not know, do can play. The yakuza do not want the police to identify your business.
The yakuza also make money from prostitution. They hire young people who are less ten years. There are several ways to take advantage of this activity, but the date of the most popular club. "Some groups are more than one million dollars per month from that company. The date of the club is a club of men. There is a fee of at least a thousand dollars to participate. Most customers are age means rich men, like doctors, lawyers and CEOs. Club members are shown images of young women to choose, and a date with the girl chosen is fixed. The men then have to pay a tax of about two hundred dollars so far, and all expenses. After that date, the client calls the club and tell them he loved the girl, and they want another date. Having sex with the girl can cost at least a thousand dollars. The recruitment of high school students into prostitution is against the law. However, some high school students are willing to work as prostitutes because they can earn much more money than any other part-time job.
Most of the money that is spent on the yakuza the purchase of weapons. Each group has its own territory. The territory is very important for the yakuza. At work, can not enter the territory of the other group. If a group seeks to enter the territory of another must be protected, usually by violence.
In Japan, the general public can not having a firearm without authorization, but the yakuza do not respect the law. Many citizens are victims of the battles of the yakuza. When reading, each group tries to kill the head of another group, as a group without a leader is weak and powerless to fight. For all members, the boss is God. Without it nothing can be done. Which wins the battle is lost by the group and its territory.
It is easy to see why the yakuza are so famous in many countries and feared and hated by many people. The yakuza do not follow the law. They also have illegal businesses, and have had many battles that have killed innocent citizens. This remains a major social problems in Japan.
If a yakuza member displeases or severely disappoints his boss, the punishment is often yubizume, amputation of Last Pinky toe. A second offense will require the cutting of the second joint of the finger, and other crimes may require moving to the next finger. One man knows that he must commit yubizume when their supervisor gives you a knife and a chain to stop the bleeding. Words are not necessary. The origin of this practice dates back to the era of the samurai. Partial withdrawal of the hand bit weak to hold the sword. When a katana (long sword samurai) captures correctly, the pink is the strongest finger. The ring is the second highest, the middle finger third largest, and the index does almost nothing. With damaged hands, the swordsman became more dependent on his master for protection. Today, it is quite symbolic ritual mutilation, but it serves to make a point Kobun with the offender, and shows that the yakuza, like their counterparts in the Mafia, meet the old adage: "Keep your friends and your enemies closely. "
Like the mafia, the Yakuza, in recent years have been forced to reduce its standards in recruiting new members, and therefore some feel are not as organized or as powerful as before. In the past, recruits came from the traditional choice bakuto (reader) and Tekiya (vendor mobile) classes, but now a rebellious spirit and willingness to commit a crime for a oyabun is everything is necessary to join the yakuza ranks. Most new members now come from the tribes bosozuku (speed), punks, street known for his love motorcycle.
This lowering of standards has led to the Japanese National Police Agency boryokudan the adoption of the term (violence ()) for the yakuza, putting in other criminal groups. The yakuza, who value their ancestral ties the samurai of old, reject the term and consider it an insult.
The origin of the yakuza is a matter of debate. Some believe that its members are descendants of 17th century kabuki-mono (the madman), the samurai who reveled in clothing and hairstyles extravagant extravagant talk in slang developed, and carried unusually long swords at the waist. Kabuki-mono was also known as hatamoto-yakko (officials of the shogun). During the Tokugawa period, a long period of peace in Japan, the services of these samurai are longer needed, and what became leaderless ronin (wave men). Without the guidance of a strong hand, then shifted its attention to service community with the robbery and chaos.
Modern yakuza members refute this theory and instead proclaim themselves descendants of the ma-yokko (city officials) who protected their villages hatamoto-yakko capricious. Yakuza Official history portrays the ancestors of the weakening of the group as heroes people who stood up for the poor and helpless, as Robin Hood helped the peasants of medieval England.
The current members of the yakuza are divided into three general categories: Tekiya (vendors), bakuto (players), and gurentai (Thugs). Vendors and their players back origins in the 18th century while the hoodlums were created after the Second World War, when the demand for black market goods created an industry booming. Traditionally, the Tekiya, Japan's medieval version of snake oil salesmen, worked the fairs and markets, while bakuto worked in the cities and roads. The gurentai, however, is inspired by American gangsters of the era of Al Capone, with threats and extortion to achieve their goals. After the Second World War, the governmental power void caused by the occupation, the gurentai prospered, and their ranks swelled. Also led to the organized crime in Japan to a new level of violence in the place of the traditional sword with modern firearms, even if the weapons were now officially the law in the country following the waiver.
Yakuza also satisfy the desire of gun owners who aspire to Japan, where the weapons of all kinds are prohibited. Yakuza members themselves are the main market for firearms, and to foster more intelligent automatic weapons in Europe and America, often trade drugs for weapons. The yakuza are specialized in the production and sale of amphetamines met (given the frenetic pace of the competitive environment in Japan now, the speed is national drug of choice) yakuza and often use it to barter with suppliers of arms in the West.
The yakuza also make millions of dollars a year through extortion Business and sokaiya (shareholders' meeting for men) are the owners of this company. Sokaiya buy a few shares of a company to attend meetings of shareholders. In preparation for the meeting, the sokaiya collect negative information about the company and its officers, secret lovers, tax evasion, the conditions of the plant at risk, and pollution are fodder for sokaiya. Then, the address of the company and threaten to disclose information that is embarrassing for the shareholders' meeting unless they are "compensated". If management does not yield to their demands sokaiya go to the meeting of shareholders and increase the hell, yelling at anyone who dares to speak, boasting its noisy presence, and shouting his revelations harmful. In Japan, where people are afraid of the shame and guilt much more than physical threats, managers sokaiya normally give what they want.
Organized crime groups in Japan – known as yakuza – in recent years have been much more than gangs of thugs who oversee the extortion gambling, prostitution and other "classic" gangsters. The evolution during the past year have revealed that the yakuza, after real estate and securities purchased in the 1980s, plays a larger share of the economy Japanese. While organized crime groups in many post-war enjoyed an unusual degree of tolerance from the public Japanese police, the recent scandals involving thousands million yen related to companies or individuals associated yakuza have sounded the alarm Tokyo. There is a growing concern in some quarters of government business and the underworld Japan is developing the kind of financial muscle that could threaten the economic order.
"The exotic aspect of the members of the Yakuza and their particular type of ritual samurai (the upper part of a gang member the smaller figure is cut and given to their leader to atone for a fault) will certainly distinguish Japanese underworld mafia unions based in the U.S. and Europe. The yakuza in recent years has diversified its portfolio of illegal activities including usury, blackmail and extortion funds by the intervention of that company in civil litigation and real estate transactions. "
"It is possible that the purchases of the image Robin Hood of the yakuza, Japanese private citizens sometimes do not turn to lawyers and courts, but gangsters to help resolve civil disputes would extremely difficult, lengthy and costly to pursue through the Japanese legal system. These disputes focus on the private debts and commercial personal injuries, but experts believe that organized crime that the Mafia is involved in the solution of most cases of car accidents. While the yakuza in these cases can be considered to cover a need created by the shortage of lawyers in Japan, gangsters – outlawed – have also known to initiate traffic accidents as a means of extorting money from people. "
The reasons for the yakuza are rarely above reproach. It could be argued that the gangsters, in fact, have learned to exploit the Japanese tendency to use personal relationships, rather than legal measures to resolve disputes.
This does not mean that the eye of the Japanese police completely blind when it comes to the Mafia. During the application law-makers of Japan, which have been admired worldwide for its high level of discipline, have conducted raids on many many yakuza offices. These attacks have tended, however, be more a show of police muscle than any real attempt to stop gangster operations.
One of the main reasons why the yakuza can operate "on the ground" is that the groups are not illegal. There are no laws in Japan Racketeer influence comparable to that of this country and Corrupt Organisations Act 1970. U.S. RICO law enforcement is authorized to investigate and ultimately For example, arrest any person, association, partnership, association or other legal entity and a union or group of individuals "associated in fact" have engaged in a pattern of criminal activity in response to organized crime. Organized crime experts also highlight the gaps criminal Japan also made it difficult to prosecute perpetrators of corruption, extortion, money laundering or other sectors yakuza.
Public Acceptance – Until recently, there has been an unusually high degree of tolerance by the public by the Japanese yakuza. Although crowd was not too dangerous, the police, in particular, remained out of their way. Some analysts attribute this acceptance capacity of yakuza relations public and the fact that the public has come to rely on gangsters to meet certain economic, political, legal and social issues that the government can or not, address.
