Hey, when I lived in Japan I couldn't help running into the Yamaguchi gumi-they were like the Castellanos of Osaka.....I was in a band, which meant working in bars, which sometimes meant Yamaguch gumi.....of course, they paid well, and tipped okay, and were never really trouble for me....in fact, except for the occasional "Frank Sinatra" request or attempt at turning a performance into a karaoke duet of some sort, I was mostly invisible to them, and, except for the cars and suits, they might have well have been invisible to me....
