The term _yakuza_ refers broadly to the Japanese world of organized crime. It’s more like the Japanese equivalent of _mafia_ or _mobsters_ in general.
Just like the mafia is not a single gang, the yakuza is not a single gang either.
I’m watching and it’s fairly well executed, but this isn’t the right subreddit. This is a place to learn Japanese (and 99% of the people here will absolutely be pedantic enough to drag the many many mispronunciations)
ChatGPT, write me a 3rd-grade book report about Yakuza. Don’t worry about accuracy.
Great, now read that back to me in a terrible robot voice.
