Given how important it was for the history of the Yakuza and Japan in general, it could be interesting to make a deep dive into the bubble economie of the late 1980s.
I thought about getting into that topic in more detail for this video but i felt it took the focus away from Ishii too much. Giving it its own video is a great idea, i'll put it on my list!
Another amazing video. His luck really started at the end of the war. “Graduated at the top of your class? Here, become a torpedo for us…hang on, never mind, war is over.” 😅
That whole Kamikaze and Kaiten stuff is still so crazy to think about! The fact that they'd put one of their best students inside one of those things really shows how desperate Japan was during the end of the war
After wrapping up this video, i stumbled upon this cool little video that offers a look at Ishii Susumu's actual house! It's in Japanese, but still an interesting watch, even if you don't speak the language: t.ly/l8xH0
KK Park, Myanmar. A walled up slave camp in Myanmar that primarily operate as a scam call centre and human trade run by triads. Their affiliates are now in Japan. Please do a deep dive when u uncovered that. Thanks.
@@MrNajibrazak Damn, that sounds like something that really needs to be talked about. I'll add it to my topics list and do the necessary research. Really appreciate the suggestion, thank you!🙏🏻
12:02 I love that chase music from Yakuza is your default ambiance for discussing people hustling, wheeling and dealing, scheming, wire-pulling, etc. 🤣😂🤣😂 It conjures up "making it big" montages from 80s crime movies like Scarface. 🤣😂 Awesome work!
Your videos are amazing. I always wanted to know about the Yakuza but there weren't plenty of videos on TH-cam. I watched everything this channel has produced and I'm planning on rewatching. Thank you
The exact reason why i started this channel, I couldn't believe how little information about the Yakuza there was! Thanks for tuning in and commenting! Much appreciated ✌🏻
I just discovered your channel today, and really like the quality and content! Is there any chance you could make a video on Nobusuke Kishi. He may be THE most important Japanese figure of the 20th century. The guy was the Himmler of Imperial Japan in Manchuko China, the benefactor of all the Yakuza, Industrialist, and the Imperial Army during WW2, and the founder and financier of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan that’s dominated postwar politics. He dominated Japanese life from the shadows for the majority of the 20th century before his death in 1987. You’d think somebody like that would be some bondesque type super villian, but apparently he was a hardcore partygoer and whoremonger. He was a really sick and disgusting individual.
I actually talked a bit about Kishi in the Kodama Yoshio video, since they were pretty damn close following WW2. But you're right, that guy might actually deserve his own video in the future, i'll keep it in mind 🙏🏻 Thanks for watching and commenting btw, much appreciated man!
Playing through Kiwami 2 and just wondering about the history of yakuza using improvised weapons such as bicycles in street fights and how common such a thing really is. Also, are there REALLY giant traffic cones in Japan? Lol Great video as always
the Yakuza is never that intimidating or dangerous when compared to the triads to begin with, even as of now, today the triads owns swaths of land in Myanmar as walled up slave camps to do telecom scam while conducting slave trading. The Yakuza was not even half of that in its height. Search KK Park on the internet, that is the tip of the iceberg.
Seeing that you are familiar with it in your videos maybe separating some fact from fiction in The Yakuza Papers Vol. 1-5. Or maybe just go with one episode at a time, if it is not too laborious. Anyways, very informative video here. Thanks!
Great idea! I feel like many people here are not that familiar with the series here. It would also be a good chance to give it some much-needed exposure while covering and interesting topic 🙏🏻 Thanks for the recommendation and thanks for watching!
Wow thank you for making this channel I appreciate you this channel is my dream come true I have been searching for Yakuza documentaries on here since like 2012 and I never found anything except Documentaries with firsthand accounts No actual Yakuza with real names history what piqued my interests was the video about A Gangsters Paradise explaining how the Yakuza owned that extremely large building in Japan and it was full of residential units Casinos and strip clubs I was utterly in awe that one man could accomplish owning one building with help of course I would watch that over and over and hope someone would post the full thing Your channel is a treat and like I said a dream come true THANK YOU
I created this channel mainly because I was in the exact same situation as you! Wanted to find out more about the real Yakuza but couldn't find anything close to what i was actually looking for, so i decided to do it myself! 😬 Glad you found my channel and thank you for watching and commenting!

Was it this guys fault? Or his influence?
The Lucky Luciano of the Yakuza, for sure!

Anyone who can build up wealth after a fair amount of time in prison is a success story in any form.

Wow the "Japanese UPS"(Sagawa) too? I bet the Yakuza also made money from Pokemon lmao
Man's name is Susumu. He ain't gonna stop, till he dead.
The founder of "Yakuza Luxury Travels", the travel agency organizing your next exclusive trip to Hawaii. 😂🤪 Amazing content btw 🙏🔝!
Thanks for your vids. They're very interesting
Thanks for watching them! 😌
Yeah, taking out tons of loans will eventually backfire on you as tons of debts.
13:10 there is absolutely no way this man was ignorant of anything you speak of
Great video, also 200th like 💪🏻
Thanks for watching and thanks for the like! 😁
Playing through Kiwami 2 and just wondering about the history of yakuza using improvised weapons such as bicycles in street fights and how common such a thing really is. Also, are there REALLY giant traffic cones in Japan? Lol
Great video as always
As soon as i find any evidence on that, you can be sure that i'll be the first to share it! Hahaha
Thanks for watching as always 🙏🏻
Yes, the giant traffic cones are real. I've seen them before with my own eyes.
@oc6617 that is magnificent
Hey what soundtrack are you using on the HUMBLE BEGINNINGS chapter.
bro got the 10 billion yen 💀
Is Yakuza making a comeback?A VIDEO ABOUT SPIKES IN YAKUZA ENROLLMENT SINCE 2023💁GREAT CONCEPT FOR A VIDEO
kinda sad really
Are there any good videos on the collapse of the Japanese Bubble Economy from the Japanese perspective?
Bull shit this guy was broke compared to other Yakuza Bosses . They were in the Trillions. It wasn't this guy.
Yakuza don't run the streets anymore. Now you go them Softy gangsters that can't even stop Johnny Somali

@@anikihistoryYou who should also do the Nihon no don trilogy! I was able to spot so many IRL yakuza expies or learned about them via the movies.

Are you playing the fight music from the Yakuza games in the background 😂😂😂
Hell yeah 😎
