The Yakuza - Mafia of Japan

The Yakuza are members of a Japanese crime syndicate that were founded back in the 17th Century, during the mid-Edo period. They very much see themselves as a Ninkyo Dantai, a ‘Chivalrous Organization’, that prides itself on tradition, family and maintaining a strict code of conduct.
