The Yama-Ichi War was a feud mainly fought in the south-central Japanese region of Kansai, between the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Ichiwa-kai gangster syndicates in the 1980s.
Though its roots were in 1984, when the yakuza parent gang of the Yamaguchi-gumi was sectioned into two factions, the feud was at its most violent between January 1985 and February 1986.

"25 people died in this war"
So, a normal weekend in Chicago
I heard 50 people die each day in Chicago .
@@KeysAndDoorss that is correct
@@John-doe955 no it's not
no not a normal day in Chicago, 25 people were killed which were high ranked people, it was sophisticated hits not people wilding out killing anybody
I’ll be honestly I meant to click on X-Ray-Oh comment not keys and now I feel dumb
Yakuza 0 was so popular they made a gang about it

@@imbored2006 no me
Cartels wage war...nothing else, it's already a civil cold war.
The situation is very different. The central government in Japan has far more power than any central or south american government. Also, the military is far more loyal. If the violence would've spiraled out of control, the government would've declared martial law and have the military shoot Yakuza on sight. Or basically every Japanese person with Tatoos. And the Japanese people woould've been okay with that. Doing something that is a threat to the state in Japan would be completely suicidal, even for tha Yakuza.
Random killing distracts away from the real business of killing your enemy

Slav gopnic mafia lol
The Italian Mafia had 3000 members at it's peak in the US, the fact that the Yakuza had 10,000 in just one group shows how large these guys were
i dont think one group but subsidiary of 300+ yakuza families
@@mkmllrc you mean like, different little divisions that serve for the same order?
@@zeta1960 exactly
The 3,000 from the report that number was given is a deceptive because those were only the "made" members of the Mafia in the US. "Made" men lead groups of others who would be considered as being in the Mafia, but in leadership positions and the total number of Mafia members and affiliates was/is much, much higher.
the yakuza has people in every major enterprise in japan, all of them

That first part where you break your way in through the main door then fight your way up, is a lot harder in reality, layers and layers of enemy gang members and barricades, heavy doors, maze of stairs, officers to get through, it sounds like the games yes but imagine how difficult it would really be
Stop watching movies
@@elmalanmalan2175 It was a joke about the Yakuza video game series.
And had shirtless fight for showing off their tattoo and dynamic intro with their enemies name and position on it
If you think the Yakuza dominating Japan's entertainment industry is interesting, what's even more interesting is the Chongryon (an organization with close ties to North Korea in Japan) once dominated the gambling/pachinko industry. They sponsored everything from credit unions to newspapers. What led to their downfall, was that the government realized they were helping fund the DPRK's nuclear program

"25 Dead in 2 Years."
*Goro Majima?*
That's if he was in jail for all but one day
Majima ain't killing no one he is my boi
So basically Yakuza 0 but with less karaoke.
No, this is basically Yakuza 2/Kiwami 2.
@@GeraltofRivia22 It’s more Yakuza 0. Though the real-life Yakuza here in Japan also ran discotheques during the “Trashy Craze” of the late 1980s too.
Its Yakuza 2 the war between Tojo and Omi

🤣🤣🤣
Yakuza Kiwami 2’s plot is heavily influenced by this even if the dates are off anyone who’s played it will see the similarities
Shindo splitting of from the Tojo clan taking half the manpower
The ambush and assasination of the patriarchs in the elevator
The war between Tojo Clan and Omi Alliance
also Lady Dojima serving as acting chairwoman
was looking for someone to point it out, even one of the hits
Sort of. The Tojo Clan are based on the Sumiyoshi-kai. The Omi Alliance were based on the Yamaguchi Him. While they are sort of based on true events I wouldn't say it was a one to one correlation. But since they did say something about a Yakuza 0 Part 2. They could do this and they have the best character for it. Masaru Watase. Since he is the Omi's equivalent of Kitty.
@@KonspiracE The only Yakuza Zero Prequel I could fathom is one set during Kiryu Kazuma's Jail stint in Yakuza 1. Ten Years is a LONG Time Skip. And Nothing Happens Really? You don't have to set it in Kamurocho either. Yakuza 6 gave us a Diverse array of other locations and places to Explore and Worldbuild.
@@mitchellalexander9162 cause, the story focused on Kiryu, and Kiryus track to snap Nishiki back to reality.
If there were more locations, Kiryus spotlight would be gone.

FINALLY. This is one piece of yakuza gangland lore that I have been keen to get more info on for a loooong time.
However, it's the yakuza's 50s-70s antics that I'm most interested in. I hope we can get coverage of those as well.
Good! You got one of the pieces
If you haven't seen it yet. Look up "The Yakuza Papers" also called "Battles Without Honor and Humanity" it is a film series set in that time period.
@@jtilton5 I much prefer the 70s yakuza movies, actually! The Nihon no Don trilogy is my second favorite after the Battles series. It involves a Taoka expy trying to steer his yakuza gang for national domination.
@simplehistory would love to see more Yakuza content.

Don't forget the Mad Dog of Shimano too.

300 attacks, 25 dead. So Hollywood level aiming [aside from main characters... sometimes]
Tojo Clan: Yamaguchi-gumi
Omi Alliance: Ichiwa-kai
Yomei Alliance: Inigawa-kai
No the Tojo Clan is the Sumiyoshi-Kai and the Omi Alliance is the Yamaguchi-gumi.
So, the Yomei Alliance is Kyosei-kai from Hiroshima, right?

Great me to
So the most famous Yakuza gang war ended due to a combination of police crackdowns and excessive financial strain and NOT due to Kiryu Kazuma ripping his shirt off and punching his way through a battalion of heavily armed men culminating in a one-on-one showdown with Final Boss.
Well, that's anticlimactic.

"You have provoked a Gang War!"
This is like kindergarten level compared to mafia wars in Sicily, those had the same total numbers of casualties but in just one week
That’s the Sicilians for you. Say what you will about them, but very few cultures have stronger familial ties and a communal identity than those you’d find in Sicily way back when, which makes sense considering that Sicilian history is basically them being invaded over and over and over again. Phoenician and Carthaginian, Greek, Roman, Vandal and Ostrogoth, Byzantine Greek, Aghlabid, Kalbid, Norman, Aragonese, Spanish and so on. All had one thing in common, they tortured and oppressed the native Sicilians. Is it any wonder, with so many cruel and corrupt governments controlling them, that the Mafia sprung up to act as a secondary government of their own that still persists to this day.
Revenge was a family obligation, so their vendettas could persist for centuries, perpetuating the cycle of vengeance. What’s even more astounding is just how many of these mafiosi were strongly religious. Devout Catholics, they wouldn’t even take the name of the lord in vain but in the hot blood of vendetta, they’d shotgun the pope himself for breaking Omertà.
You could also compare the American Mafia, who were just a bunch of cowboys.
The most famous mob war is probably the Prohibition-era Chicago Gang War that spanned from 1920 to 1931 and only killed 500 to 1300 people in total, but was fought with far more brutality and sadism than World War I (for starters, a gangster was thrown out of car while burning alive onto a busy public street in 1928). Also, the war wasn't just for the control of all illegal booze, the gangsters were fighting each other for control of the whole city, as the mayor at the time, Big Bill Thompson, was nothing more than a corrupt, insane puppet for Al Capone to control.

I just realized how the Yakuza games seem to be influenced by these events. The widow of the previous boss picking a replacement is one
A video on the 5 major mafia families of New York's Mafia would be amazing. My favorite family out of the 5 was the Gambino family. Who's boss was Carlo Gambino, an Italian-American crime boss.

300 Shooting and only 25 dead, these guys are amateurs.
A lot of shootings were not assassinations per se, but in the process of another crime, like robbery or kidnapping
Well he did say confirmed but really you have to look at it statistically
How many more unexplained shooting compared to last year and the increase of missing persons(men primarily) then you can get a better picture of how many died because of the conflict
@@olivermoonstar4232 yes but the men Killed are their own hahah
I won't call them amateur

You should do a video on the Quebec Biker war between the HA and RM.It lasted until the early 2000s and had 160 plus dead in total.
