"Strong leaders recognize that action remedies indecision." - Toyotomi Hideyoshi, 16th hundred years samurai A pack of men in razor-sharp, personalized suits and dark sunglasses strut outside. Their eye are shielded, however the icy scowl on the faces is a clear sign to stay out of their paths. A few of their collars hang open, showing off a view of the vivid and intricate ink work on their chests, and presumably, their complete bodies. Tattoos are the norm these days, but one suddenly patches a man with a peculiarly pint-sized pinkie. Perhaps it is merely a deformity, but upon a closer look, it appears that the entire higher 50 percent has been sliced up cleanly off, almost as though it were done intentionally. Since the beginning of civilization, crime and injustice has existed. At the same time, gangs in all shapes and sizes have been around, from rebels, dissidents, and rogue military to the common group of miscreants loitering in alleys and behind convenience stores. In Japan, a gang of the different breed would arise - one underscored by honor, esteem, family, and a code of ethics. They are the Yakuza. The Yakuza lay claim to be the Robin Hoods of china and taiwan. While they could lean on the other area of regulations, justice is all they truly shoot for. After all, for a while, these tattoo-covered "thugs" have even been praised by the general public. Alternatively, the majority are quick to say otherwise. Either way, the Yakuza is a nefarious network of stone-faced, theatrically tattooed individuals, with descendants that continue to make even the most seasoned of specialists quake in their shoes.
