Chances are, it doesn't portray mafia life that well at all. When viewed by people that have actually SEEN combat and military proceedings thought The Hurt Locker was a pretty piss poor representation of what they do.

That's a good question. It's kinda like why did the Italian mob let them film Sopranos and the Godfather?
Yakuza is kind of different from other countries' mafia. Well, a lot different regarding where they stand in regards to the law.
Supposedly it's not that rare for yakuza films to be made by yakuza-owned studios either.

Military folk pretty much always think that because films change whatever they want to get their dramatic effect over. The Hurt Locker is no exception. The opening sequence is actually very realistic I understand, but once they introduce James they sacrifice military detail for character effect and theme and quite right too!
As you say the same applies for games, etc. in most cases.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
First, the Yakuza famlies are pretty far from being secretive as to their existence. For the most part, they operate like many legitimate business, complete with family labeled office buildings (banners literally displayed outside their buildings), business cards, etc. only most of their business happens to deal with illegal activity from weapons trade, drug trafficking, human trafficking, prostitution, gambling, etc.
Second, it's kind of flattering. The game romanticizes and glorifies the world of the Yakuza.

I'm not 100% sure, but I've read that the majority of their income comes from the importation of non-censored pornography.
Again, the American Mafia no longer has the power to do anything really. They had power in the 50s, but now they're pretty much in seclusion. Yakuza are different because they are still just as powerful as they were before.
@greenmedic
really? like they have signs that say "i'm a yakuza"?
They want and have a reason to be feared.
| bugrimmar said: I mean.. the Yakuza are some of the most dangerous gangsters in the world. That means they would like to keep their operations as low profile and hush hush as possible. They are an extremely powerful and influential group that can dictate many of Japan's societal forces, but always as the man backstage. Any reputable business establishment suspected of Yakuza involvement is in danger of getting closed (like Pride FC). |
I can think of a couple things you're missing.
Don't you know that the Yakuza are only really involved in the gambling biz?
