However, news of fights among them don't always get to the police. maybe it's like some sort of a way for the Japanese police to get rid of bad people without getting their hands dirty. It's a tactfully mutual agreement if you ask me. But they still will be sent to jail, that's for sure such in the case of Tetsuya Shiroo, a member of the Yamaguchi clan. On May 26, 2008 Tetsuya Shiroo was sentenced to death due to the assination of the Nagasaki mayor at that time, Iccho Itoh. Rather than the police, the yakuza is much more closely related to the political world in Japan.

Well, honestly, I do not know how exactly to contact a yakuza but one thing I know is that would be something hard to do since yakuza is much an underground group that barely have direct contact with the world society publicly. They don’t have websites involve in many illegal and underground business. But they do business with foreigners for sure, IF they are going to benefit from the project too. They have basses in LA, San Francisco, New York City and of course, Las Vegas. It’ll be hard to get in contact with the boss straight since there are bodyguards everywhere and they will limit contact to only the necessary people (well, basically because they can assassinate one another). One thing you can do to get info is perhaps to contact other yakuza books publisher or yakuza movie producer to get more information. This is really a tough cookie.

I am looking for investment for my book to publish it and make a movie about it. Most of it is written in a japanese prison about six years ago. Do they do buisness with foreigners. hi, how would one contact the yakuza. I am looking for investment for my book to publish it and make a movie about it.
