Kabuki Arc The Fourth Dynasty Century of the Dragon With close to 10,000 members, the Sumiyoshi-kai are the second biggest yakuza organization worldwide. Although both syndicates (Yamguchi-gumi and Sumiyoshi-kai) share many characteristics, they traditionally have represented the two organizational poles of gang structure in the yakuza world. The pyramid of the Yamaguchi-gumi comes to a fine point, headed by a single man. The top of the Sumiyoshi pyramid is broader; while a powerful oyabun reigns over the syndicate, he is only one of several bosses, all considered equal partners. twilighthush.com /masquerade/sumiyoshi.html

SI - readmsg.aspx msgid=19222071 A long-running feud between Agata's Sumiyoshi-kai and the Yamaguchi-gumi has claimed a number of innocent lives, including three people killed in a bar earlier this year when a Sumiyoshi mobster opened fire on a rival. This being Japan, though, the culprit voluntarily surrendered to what may well be a death sentence rather than cause problems for his organisation by going on the lam. Of course we have our own internal rules, but our violence is controlled and targeted and doesn't spill out among the public." www.siliconinvestor.com /go.aspx?subjectid=53095&msgnum=2705

FCCJ : The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan Japanese political reporters usually know if a politician is linked to the Yamaguchi Gumi, the Inagawa Kai or the Sumiyoshi crime family (hint: politicians from districts south of Nagoya are usually Yamaguchi, while Tokyo and Yokohama politicians tend to be Inagawa and Sumiyoshi). The Inagawa Kai is estimated to have over 8,000 members. In further confirmation, Eitaro Itoyama, a multi-billionaire and self-described bridge between politicians and gangsters (he is the son-in-law of notorious Ryoichi Sasakawa), told me that politicians usually dealt with their local yakuza syndicates and that the syndicate operating in Koizumi's home district was the Inagawa Kai. www.furl.net /forward.jsp?id=2409557   (1317 words)

YakuzaGear.com Due to legal issues earlier this year, there have been managerial shifts at the top of the Sumiyoshi-kai (similar to Bill Gates seceding his position as CEO to Steve Balmer at Microsoft). And the Inagawa-kai has not yet named it's new president after the passing of it's previous CEO, Inagawa Toi, this May. It would seem an inappropriate time for the Yamaguchi-gumi to begin making drastic inroads to their northern neighbors Tokyo heartland. The Inagawa-kai president, Inagawa Toi, passed away this May at 64. yakuzagear.blogspot.com   (4250 words)

NATO PA - Archives The Yakuza (consisting of "Toa Yuai Jigjo Kumiai", "Inagawa Kai", "Sumiyoshi Rengo Kai" and "Yamaguchi Gummi") has proved a particularly corrupting element in Japanese society and has been at the centre of several sensational corporate extortion schemes that have sullied the reputation of a number of companies, banks and leading managers.

Yakuza: CHAPTER TWELVE Officials identified the Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-kai, Inagawa-kai, and Toa Yuai as all being active in the U.S., and warned of the threat they posed "through the laundering of ill-gotten gains and the infiltration of legitimate businesses in the United States." DEA intelligence reports, meanwhile, suggested that Japan had become a major trans-shipment point for narcotics. Apparently, when the Korean head of the Towa Yuai Jigyo Kumiai decided to invest in an American enterprise, he chose a prestigious type of business, and one that is decidedly non-yakuza: oil. Japanese crime syndicates exert "a growing influence on the state of Hawaii, and are significantly represented coast to coast on the U.S. mainland," the Bureau said in a report. www.ucpress.edu /books/pages/8278/8278.ch12.html   (1031 words)

Orii, though, is only one individual in a rather large, fluid group of yakuza-connected Japanese in the Los Angeles area. www.ucpress.edu /books/pages/8278/8278.ch12.html   (13341 words)
