The yakuza is one of the most recognizable yet secretive criminal organizations in the world. Behind the impeccable suits, elaborate tattoos, and legends of samurai honor lies a strict system of subordination, violence, and money.

This book traces the path of Japanese clans from the gamblers and street vendors of the Edo period to influential syndicates that have infiltrated business, politics, and the entertainment industry. Who are the oyabun and kobun? Why do guilty clan members amputate their fingertips? How did the yakuza manage to operate almost openly for decades—and can it survive in 21st-century Japan?

You will learn the inner workings of the Japanese mafia and the price paid by those who become part of the clan. This is the story of a world where loyalty serves as currency, violence as a tool of power, and honor as a cover for fear.
