Japan's Most Violent Biker Gang
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 01. 2019
- Japanese motorcycle gangs have wreaked havoc since the 1970s. Known as Bosozuku, these gangs have a violent history, raging war against rival crews and cops. Gang members roamed the highways, sometimes hundreds at a time, with an array of brutal weaponry, customized bikes, and distinct crew jumpsuits. Being part of one of these motorcycle gangs was a frantic lifestyle, one that could easily lead to grievous bodily harm, and death.
Youth were recruited from their early teens to join the gangs under the mentorship of an elder. It was of utmost importance to protect the reputation of the gang, to never run from a fight, even when grossly outnumbered.
In recent years, with strict laws and police cracking down, Bosozoku have become nearly extinct. Yet for those who were a part of the subculture during its heyday, Bosozoku will always provide a fond memory of the recklessness of youth.

The former leader's dream is not to become rich, but to provide jobs for former members like him. Such a respectable man.
Basically an ex-bozosoku-leader is recruiting active and former Yakuza members. Maybe we will see them again in the future

Everyone gangsta until Tokyo Revengers end with "Based on a real story"
Edit:bruh why many likes
Mikey the invincible
Yeah a true story about time traveling from a handshake
Wha...
Actually it is. Tokyo Manji Revengers is actually based on the Black Emperor, the notorious Tokyo-based motorcycle gang
LMFAO
the meetup between the ex leader and the current leader is wholesome
i felt that too and the way they still have mad respect for thier ex elders... truly fascinating 🛐
But here in my country, the respect is no longer there..As long that person got money, fame - then there’s respect..
They are alive and well in Kanto...I hear their bikes zooming up and down the street at 1130 at night...but only for an hour and only on weekends..they are very polite bad boys.
so they are chaotic good

Don't apply your libtard standards to them. There are yamato.

Gangs in Japan always end up being one of the most disciplined ones.
An Incredible Wagon it’s all bout respect for them
That's why I give respect+++

It’s because they follow Japanese culture
Yakuza much 🌝
He's right. When you've had an extreme youth, it's hard becoming the old one and seeing how the young are living dull lives. Regardless of the wrongs, those memories stick with you and is disappointing to see a lack of spirit in those that follow you.
Who cares about a lack of spirit, people want to live a good, fruitful, and peaceful life. I cannot say that for any of these sorry gang members.
@@sheevpalps3846 That's okay. Not everyone can feel empathy for people they don't relate to. I can understand why you'd want a quiet life, but it wasn't for me when I was younger and I wouldn't change that in hindsight.
@@Pooknottin It's not about empathy from my end so much as it's about simple disregard for those around them which I have seen in a lot of real life thugs/gang members. A lot of their actions have horrible repercussions for innocent people. It's fine craving excitement/a fun life but there's more useful and self constructive ways to apply yourself than through the lifestyle depicted in this video. Of course, people like you consider that an integral part of their identity and that is fine. I'm just cautioning against that dangerous charm of such a life, which is what misleads a lot of youth to a lifetime of regret and waste.
@@sheevpalps3846 I see your point. However, you are dismissing these people as worthless based on a presumption of understanding which you clearly lack. There certainly are sociopaths and worse in this world, but not all gang members and gangsters are those things. I've known monsters, but in my experience they're in the minority and frankly I've known more of them who were living 'fruitful' lives. The worst and most damaging monsters enjoy safety from which to commit their sadistic acts. Many things in life lead you to regret and waste and yes many things are dangerous. Danger has charm. That's not a revelation to anyone.
@@Pooknottinit's the culture we live in now. Young men have lower testosterone levels than their grandpa had. We live in a matriarchal society that punishes masculinity. Eventually things will be tough again and young men will be like yourself again.
When you realize you had missed such an epic era 🤧
“When I grow up, I’m gonna be a member of a Japanese Biker Gang!”

Exactly! These weeaboos watched Akira for the first time and googled Japanese biker gangs wishing they could be as cool as the characters and found this video.
LOL!
stop attacking me
suhh dude
I was committing seppuku. Sorry lol
Ursine Maximus I like Greasers. I copied the Greaser style and the only thing I do different is wear a black trenchcoat, and I’ll wear tight fitting tanktops to show off my physique.
I’ve got a respect for the Japanese biker gangs, because I’m pretty damn sure they have a respect for American greasers.
It’s dying sadly.
when I visited Japan about 7 me and my mom ran into a "meeting" we thought they were street performers and took pictures with them, very friendly people.
Now that's wholesome.

I know that, i heard story bikers gang often occupied a park and making a party there.
Whats cool about it they are not violent to civilian but actually pretty friendly.
the amount of respect they have for this lifestyle is what makes them so cool
I left America at 18 when the military sent me to Japan. I can home for less then 5 years and moved back in ‘96. I grew up with so many guys and gals who lived that life. I remember the nights when Route 16 Yokohama would packed with Bozo and it was really a sight. I do not recall exactly when, but there was a fight near an expressway toll gate and on camera a murder occurred. They showed parts of it on tv. From my perspective, that was the start of the end of those type of events. The public was done with tolerating the nuisance that those gangs caused. The Japanese government made laws that drove the gangs into extinction. When I left in 2019, there were only the sort of cosplay type Bozo and there are very few of them. This video left out the female participants, which takes away from the story, IMO. I know a lot of good men and women who grew up and out of that life.
Crazy Fact: Tokyo revengers Author was part of the Black Emperor Gang and that's where he got the idea of tokyo revengers manga
Nani the fuck u serious dude?
Bruh, I mean it makes sense since they wear black and i guess the rival gangs wear white? I'm not sure but If this is real then damn
where did u get that info lmao but itd be kinda cool if that was real
edit: dont just fucking say "search in google" or "the author said it" give me the **LINK** 💀 i already tried searching in google im not that dumb not to
edit: found it now 😋🤞 at the time of making this comment + a few weeks by there were no source on it so yeah 🤷 the author himself still didnt confirm it (at least that i know of) so i still have my doubts tho
Im serious
The author said he was also a delinquent before
I actually kinda find this funny because the way anime portrayed the Japanese biker gang stereotype is so accurate.
Xynic especially in BAKi
most places around the world have comic books talk about superheroes in Japan they have comic books that are based on real life events of Yakuza
Weebs, weebs everywhere.
They are nothing like bubblegum crisis. Lol
@Brian Lyons i think that was the idea but wanting to sound more aloof .
"The excitement I got just from living life" whoa that's amazing
I feel bad for this man in many ways. He's middle aged and now lives a less than exciting life than that of his younger days we all have that coming to us regardless of the lives we live in our youth. But I think it feels worse when nobody else is doing what you did in your youth I think it gives them a sense that something that you love is dying out and maybe he has some sympathy for the younger generations knowing they don't know what they're missing. It could be being the end of an era I can't imagine that being a good feeling.
I'm Japanese, and I agree with you, ANd he even looks so miserable too... believe that most of us feels shame on this video.
I know this is about a gang and all, but there was a kind of sadness hearing them talk about how the one guy was the only and probably last Narashino specter member ever, and he still rides wearing his gangs uniform.
he's a real O.G. with love for the gang
Makes him still feel alive most likely

For years I trained in multiple martial arts to defend myself from gangs.
Boxing, Muay Thai, Kyokushin Karate, Judo and Japanese Ju-Jutsu. Japanese martial arts always worked for me the best. Cuz for self-defense you can’t afford to hold back.
I remember speaking to a former biker gang member of Japan and he said, they all had at least a good degree of martial arts training for fighting cuz they would fight other gangs constantly and carries tantos and wooden swords like the Yakuza. It’s crazy and scary. Don’t get into fights on the streets. Fight ONLY to defend yourself.
Doesn't matter if you're trained in multiple martial arts, you have to run

Recently I finished this manga called "Bakuon Rettou" about biker gangs based on the author own story in his youth. It was amazing, as if I joined one myself with all 100 chapters of the drama, The brothers in arms, the romance, the passion, the violence, the rivalries, the rejection from society, the police troubles. It has everything.
He looked so sad when he remembered how his elder got killed.
Yea
You think 🤔 ?
Well Yeah.
The short documentary not only told a story of the bygone era of biker gangs, but it also reveals how the past gang members adjust to their new lives as they are not a part of the gang anymore.
Our main guy, now working as a road worker, a working-class contributing to the society, although admits that his past criminal actions were stupid, he was still enthusiastic when he talked about the stories, as if he was still missing the life he had lived two decades ago.
In the scene where he and another member reminiscing the history, you can see that he was holding his tears when he was looking at the pictures.
He wasn't grieving for the past of the bangs, he was in sorrow for the past of his youth, his energy, and his dream.
This is a story not only of the parish of bosozoku, but also the maturation of a man.
Sorry i don't write very well but I really felt for him when I watched this and wanted to share my feelings.
Well this was close to having me in tears
May I also add. Seeing that 31st leader still representing the Bike Gang even as they're dying out. I can't help but feel a sense of melancholy. Yeah, the police have to do their job. But seeing him still representing the gang, it' quite a melancholic feeling.
Dude wdym u don’t write well u sumed that up great
You don't write well? Yet that was almost poetic. You humble you

Wow, I taught English in middle schools really close to Narashino in Western Chiba in the 90s. I had no idea this stuff was big in the area. I do remember that pretty much everyone you'd meet in Japan hated the bosozoku and the teachers at my schools were spending a lot of time with the at risk boys (they all had dyed hair - kinpatsu) trying to discourage them from getting into stuff like this. I think even at that age they all understood who was going to get high test scores and go to university (the only way to really get a good job) and who was going to be doing menial jobs for low wages. So I think some of the "bad kids" would see this as the only exciting alternative to a life of drudgery.
The old videos weren’t blurred until, the “omg he sits next to the window as is in an East Asian country he’s definitely the main character” kids came
I like how casually he said " im just a hooligan nowdays "
I chuckled too.
it is not a big deal. everyone can be a stupid thug cant they?
The english translation is slightly wrong, or rather not every accurate. The exact word he used was チンピラ (chinpira) which was translated as "hooligan" but it really pretty much means someone of the lowest or near the bottom position of one of these organisations so it doesn't really carry the same connotation as the word hooligan would imply
@@latecraft Exactly the translation of it quite odd. Once again because no one will hire an ex-bosozoku to work anyway.
@@latecraft oh thanks for explaining...I thought its very odd to say he is hooligan but now I understand what he meant
I've heard stories. Legend has it that sometimes these guys don't even use turn signals... hardcore I tell ya.

That subculture was really wild. As a young teen in the early 90s, I was first introduced to Japanese biker gang culture through Katsuhiro Otomo's manga and anime, Akira. Later found out that it was heavily influenced by Japanese biker gangs and thinking to myself, "How cool." Hehe. Good times. Keep on rockin'! 🤟
I still come back to this from time to time because this documentary is that good. Seriously
The one guy who apologized to his elders for not being able to keep the tradition alive 😭😭😭
Got me all teared up bc *the kids just don't join biker gangs like they used to* lmao
At least they had a memorable life of danger and excitement unlike zoomers who are all pudgy pale losers that watch anime and hide indoors all day. This is back when life was real. No phones, you had to make your own entertainment and structure.

This reminds me of how downhill drift racing also died because police were always around. Same thing here with gangs and how they are dying out because of the police. It’s cool how we are able to see the prime of these two eras in anime like initial d and Tokyo revengers.
Not the police but politics who dictate the police what to do
@@7bloodyTears I agree. I read that Japan was modernizing and wanted to crack down on things like these that made their country look bad.

Everyone hyped with Tokyo Revenger. Remember before this, there was GTO.
You're right, but GTO was more focused on the life of the ex-gangster who is now a teacher. Tokyo Revengers focuses more on gangs, fights, their coats, motorcycles, and the lives of teenagers as members of motorcycle gangs. The main character goes back in time to the time when he was young and wanted to be a hooligan, because the girl he loved in the future died because of the gang, so we have some fiction, but we have a more illustrated life of hooligans from motorcycle gangs and all that I mentioned before. We don't have that much in GTO. Hahah, I replied an awful lot to your short comment for which I'm sorry And of course I kind of agree with you as well, because GTO is one of my favorite anime, but with Tokyo Revengers it's just easier to understand that lifestyle and get more details about gangs. I wish you a nice day or night and may the memory of the bosozok, gangs, including anime such as GTO, Yoroshiku Mechadoc, Shakotan Boogie, etc., remain with us. because young people often don't know much about it or aren't even interested in it in the context of the anime itself. : D
@@klejzuh you probably never read Shonan Junai Gunmi which is the predecessor of GTO where young Onizuka and Ryuuji were the legendary OniBaku, the prequel is arguably better than GTO and it’s insanely good especially if you like the delinquent theme
gto prequel more realistic than tokyo revenger
Crows zero
Couldnt get behind the idea of touman just went straight from a bike gang to top yakuza group. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
I'm fascinatedly scared by this since I love Tokyo revengers, I enjoyed it too much that I genuinely forgot that these things really happened in real life(and way more violent). And I obviously feel same for other shows that was based on reality or shows reality, it just blows me away, now I'm scared to watch XD.

Damn, that "I doubt nowadays kids really experience the thrills that we had" really hit hard for me, especially because i am that nowadays kids. And i am admiring those guys, not because they did mostly bad things but because they have the balls to deviate from the mainstream. If we see someone weird nowadays we just laugh at them and probably ratio'd them on twitter. Man if i were born in the 90's i'd definitely join those guys. Mainly because nowadays youngsters really are boring. It's sad but it is a harsh reality. Youngsters nowadays really are too busy thinking about this and that that we forget we are youngster and by the time we're adult we already miss the fun of being young. Really appealing the 90's and 2000's generation for their youthful spirit and living their youth to it's fullest. You guys really does have balls. And it is sad to me that those people that was called low life punk are sometimes some of the happiest people even though they have no money and no clear understanding on how the real world works.
It’s funny though because coming from someone that did live a rough life, not like this but I did get up to similar mischief when I was younger, and mainly for the same reason that I didn’t fit in and just wanted to do anything I could to fight against the norm of society, life is much easier now going with the current rather than against it, and alot of these guys would probably agree, the trick is to find your own little ways of rebelling to keep your sanity

The author of Tokyo Revengers was in the Black Emperor gang, which is where he got his inspiration from.

@@gustavofring7774 Mikey got killed !!!!
@@kimtheng2186 Mikey's still alive. It was in an alternative future that got fixed, so Mikey's still alive.
There aint nothing gangster about 2 guys on a motorcycle
It was understanding when it was the anime, finding out that it somehow reflects a true trouble-making gans; I was more like, "they would have done a service to society if they all had died."
I do not support gangs; who knows how many atrocities they committed. At the very least, Kazuhiro has some regret about his criminal past.
Honestly, I dont even blame these guys. Japan has such a work-till-you-die society that there is barely any room for people to have fun with their lives. These guys got the chance to be themselves for just a small portion of their lives and its something they will never forget. Most people wont ever get a fraction of it for their entire lives.
but then again, the bike gangs were also with strict represent-til-you-die code, so...
@@valeraanovsk1468till you die? Did you not see the video of the group of dudes retiring?? like what...
@@JMSpinks12 dude in the video literally said his uncle was killed bruh... and “work till you die” means to work 120% without almost any freedom until you’re senior, cuz people in Japanese society do retire too. Same with gangs - you have to give the gang everything and always put it first, and obey the strict code
Its not like they didnt commit any crimes🤔
Well, the one you're referring now is different from the present. Most companies now are not like that. There are still companies like that (they call them black companies), but they aren't that many anymore. Most young japanese enjoy a lot more now than before.
"Our biggest rival is black emperor"
I think that should be black dragon
I heard that the mangaka of tokyo rev was a biker gang, idk if its true or not tho
Black Emperor = Toman
Although this fact didn't really get proven but the resemblance of Black Emperor's 卍 with Toman.
It’s said that Tokyo Revenger’s Mangaka was in the black emperor before so no big surprise that he took inspiration tbh
nah bestie that's Toman
hahahah i agree seems like Tokyo mangi gang is based on real life story
Main guy seemed sad that he basically wasted his life on being a delinquent. He brought up the fact that he's 40, and that the stuff he did as a kid was stupid and embarrassing like 3 or 4 times. Only thing he has is the memory of those early thrills. I kinda feel for him.
Does anyone know the song used at the beginning of the video??
It’s kinda sad because you can see the pain in his face from knowing that the gang he dedicated his life too is dead
Honestly it seems a lot more like shame for the crimes he committed, actually. He would always clam up when being praised for it, and note that he said earlier on that he was deeply embarrassed by them. He couldn't even look the current gang in the faces. Seems like shame to me, which is very symbolic in Japan - moreso than most places.
he says "my criminal past isnt anything to brag about, I feel stupid just talking about it. I went to juvi 3 times." he clearly isnt in pain from missing the gang and shows he is embarrassed by his actions.
@@nonothinGG6 And yet he said he'd go back in time if he could to those days and that while they were frightening at the time he believes he had more thrills from that than anything in his "adult" life or anything the youth these days experience. I agree he is probably ashamed of his past, but also torn because he absolutely loved it and views it as a high point in his life. It is certainly telling that he owns his bike still but doesn't consider himself part of Specter, which I guess is just a "gang" of one now.
There's dates worse than that . Imagine being the fall guy the members secretly pick to get screwed over . Despite being loyal to the group and going out of your way to do things . And next thing you know you either end up alive living miserable or dead . Death is the easy part , living with the regret that's what you don't want.
who gives a fuck good riddance
I was really confused as to why they weren't shooting each other while fighting then I realized that's an American thing
nah. sorry to say but america aint the wild west no more. if you pull a gun in a fight before they pull a knife you get murked and left dead in a ditch.
@@rattyratstuff7125 tell that to the school kids
yeah the hells angels will fuck you up if you pull a gun they have chains with master locks its personal for them.
@@va8013 culture issue not a piece of metal issue now fucking stop you sound like biden no one wants to sound like biden not even biden.
Well... That's the Yakuza thing, since getting firearms is not easy in Japan.
Tbh I really loved their motorcycle styles. Very Unique and wild. Thinking about making a bike like theirs.
0:42 that beat dropped harder than the kick lol
When the old man said he was a Yakuza before I looked at his fingers.
well I just realized he is legit
"The level of violence is astonishing." In other words, some raised voices, and a broken window and one or two deaths in 50 years.
Lmao dude before I watched the video I thought the same... They are so nice compared to other violent gang's
Because JAPAN
@@MartinMuriel oh yes Japan has always been a non-violent country czcams.com/video/_3k4KTThMYE/video.html
because if they did worse, the yakuza would get involved.
Pretty sure they didn't show much of it. Coz so far they wouldn't document all of it don't u think so?
I watched this vid and the ads were literally tokyo revengers ads
everybody's talking about tokyo revengers related and this. but think guys before tokyo revengers there was GTO and Shonan Junai Gumi when the story of the legendary onibaku related this much
This documentary makes Tokyo Revengers seem more interesting than it already is and trust me if you haven't seen it, it's a top tier anime and really worth watching.
You should read manga
Just finished episode 10, glad I saw your comment and started watching it
@@aceofspades9845 I'm so glad to know someone watched it cuz of this comment.
@@Ashley-gh5em been a while since I got into the story of an anime like this, thanks
i alr watched it
It hurts how everyone’s talking about Tokyo revengers but everyone’s forgotten about Crows.
Crows were my childhood
exactly!
Ahhhh I miss genji
Take the top!
The guy even looks like the ex/older crow member, remember him? the short guy?
Soundtrack of this episode is lit. What is that base from?
Respect to all the gang members...
I really love and appreciate Japanese culture and the people 👌👌👌
Yeah yeah. That's all nice and good.
But can someone please tell me what that absoulte banger that starts at 12:40 is called? I need that shit rn.
This looks like something straight from an anime
Yep. It's literally depicted like this in Onizuka sensei
akira
Cringe
As soon as I read this I was at 2:10 and it made this even more random lmao!!
Its vice versa, the people who make anime get it from irl you dumbass zoomer
When he said 'Bikes in Japan consist of kids 16, 17 years old' damn, tokyo revengers was made perfectly!
Well the writer was actually a member of the Black Emperor gang
From where they get money to buy these modified bikes
@@cherry7548 if u watch the anime. They said that the bike normally given by the elder or by stealing.
Obviously??? Bosozkus were runaway tribes, portrayed as a phase that teenagers experience. That's why you retire from your gang after your 19th birthday
teenagers or kids?
Just an idea; go for the Japanese Drift culture! It's pretty cool and alotta stuff to cover there
what model are those honda bikes
I'm even more impressed that they can afford nice bikes at the age of 16/17
Why are you impressed. What do you think gang members do for money? lmao.
back then a new 2-400cc bike was about 3 or 4 paychecks according to an uncle who breathed 105o from his zukis
1. Japanese bikes are cheaper (and better.)
2. They were even cheaper back then (lower tech.)
3. Better economy
The benefits of having a reliable economy with actual stability in the job market
dude in my po dunk town in the middle of nowhere texas we had 15 16 17 year olds that built 9 second cars just mowing the grass on the weekend but every and i mean every dime made was dumped into these cars
~"The current society will not let average low-life to succeed at life by doing low-life things"~
*kinda deep n true.. respect
And it's not a bad thing
man the era is just fading everything away.
I never really understood biker gangs. In the USA it started with vietnam veterans who were shit on so terribly and missed the comradery they had so they just got together and did their thing. What it really became is someone realized holy shit we have a bunch of disenfranchised combat veterans we can turn into gangs the likes people have never seen before lol. It was about the dream at first but soon it became like any other gang.
I never understood why people join gangs apart from being dumb enough to believe the hype. The moment you get busted they don't take care of you like they say they will and you might even wind up dead if they think you're a liability of any kind. Be smart kids, stay away from gangs, or stay independent if you get involved in that world. NEVER owe a gang a favor, but definitely make sure they owe you one.
Side note: Imagine if someone caught a cop throwing their baton or something at a biker in the US? People would be fucking livid and get that cop crucified.
