Rare are criminal organizations that are so confident in being untouchable as Yakuza. So much so that they own businesses openly showing their clan logo and their members proudly wearing pins with their clan's insignia. Being one of the most powerful criminal organizations in Asia, their influence in Japan can be downright terrifying. From controlling regular thugs to affecting government officials, they often have a say in what happens in both Japanese daily life and politics. Luckily, they are not as powerful as they were in the past, but in recent times their popularity started growing once again and they started becoming a common occurence in Japanese media, like video games, movies and anime.
