Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Japanese mobsters, often called "the Japanese Mafia" in the West, euphemistically as "anti-social organizations" and "violent groups" (暴力団, bōryokudan) or "the extreme path" (極道, gokudō) by most Japanese, and "charitable/chivalrous organizations" (任侠団体/仁侠団体, ninkyo dantai) by themselves. The term refers solely to the members of crime organizations, not to the organizations themselves, which may take many different names. The yakuza insist that their organizations originated in Robin Hood-style outlaw groups and vigilante groups during Japan's feudal era, but scholars believe that they are in fact descended from roving bands of Ronin who harassed and extorted the local peasantry. Despite being stereotypical of Japan, yakuza are actually ethnically Korean in incredibly disproportionate values, being some 30% of the yakuza despite making up only 1% of Japan's general population. |
