Japan is the only country in the world that recognizes the legitimacy of gangsters, Japanese gangs are different from the Italian mafia, the Japanese gangsters involved in the Japanese gangs are not accepted by society, they are like a rogue organization, relying on violent means to obtain benefits, which is looked down upon by normal Japanese.
Some people think that Japanese gangsters are about to become a "charity organization" because they will rush to the disaster in Japan as soon as possible; they will give gifts to children on Halloween; they will follow the trend to open a milk tea shop, etc., which makes people think that Japanese gangsters are like a "mascot".
But is that really the case? Are Japanese gangsters really innocent and harmless?
Miss by a mile!
One of japan's gangs, the KudoKai, is considered the most violent and dangerous gang in Japan.
Whoever dared to stand in their way would be killed, and the former president of the Japan Fisheries Association was shot and killed; retired police officers were attacked; nurses who operated on their bosses were attacked; dentists were stabbed.
This is not enough, they have been arrogant enough to throw incendiary bombs at Abe's home, blatantly attack the Chinese consulate in Fukuoka, blow up the Toyota Fukuoka Automobile Factory...
Kudokai boss Nomura Goku walked sideways in the Fukuoka area of Japan, without exaggeration, it is Fukuoka "Emperor of the Earth", after the Toyota incident, Japan's top companies no one dares to enter Fukuoka, Nomura Goku single-handedly dragged down Fukuoka's economy, really a god!
In 2021, Goku Nomura was sentenced to death, and in court, Goku Nomura arrogantly said, "You will regret it for the rest of your life!" ”
However, the judge was not afraid at all, no one could threaten her, she was the most sentenced to death in Japan after the 80s, and how many people were sent to the guillotine by her, a Nomura Goku she did not pay attention to.
The man, who was called Japan's most dangerous man, kicked an iron plate this time.
Why does Nomura dare to be so arrogant?
Who was the Minister of Justice who dared to sentence him to death?
The second generation of the rich brought money into the gang
When it comes to Japanese gangsters, the most famous and powerful is the Yamaguchi Group in Japan, followed by the KudoKai.
Kudokai is one of the few gangsters who dares to openly confront the Yamaguchi group, and their base is in Fukuoka, Japan, where gambling, usury, drug trafficking, and extortion are all committed, which is very much in line with the identity of the gang.
Kudo would be known for its belligerence in Japan, and its members were carefully selected militants, and Kudo would several times compete with the Yamaguchi group for territory, and the two sides fought fiercely, resulting in a great victory and the killing of the important leader of the Yamaguchi group.
After that, some small gangsters did not dare to openly confront the Kudo Society, so they formed an alliance with them, and the Kudo Society further grew.
As we said earlier, Japanese gangsters are looked down upon by the Japanese, so generally they are not desperate and will not choose to join the gang, but this Nomura Goku is not so, he was originally a rich second generation, he can eat, drink and drink leisurely throughout his life, but he entered the gang with huge assets.
His father, a large local landowner, sold all the land in his hands, most of which was built into factories and staff quarters, and he made a high profit.
Goku Nomura is the youngest son in the family, the most favored since childhood, coupled with the fact that the family has money, so he has been an extremely proud person since he was a child, and no one has paid attention to him.
Relying on his superior status, Nomura Gathered a group of followers around him, these people all listened to Nomura, they did a lot of bad things together, and it was common to bully other children into crying.
When he was 10 years old, he went in and out of the casino, at first he would not block, he lost a lot of money, in order to repay the money, he stole the car, during this period it was inevitable that there would be a conflict with people, the two gangs of people would fight, Nomura Goku was very good at fighting, he often carried a wooden short sword to defend himself, if he met others laughing at him, he would immediately fight with the person.
Stealing chickens and dogs a lot, Nomura Goku feels unusual, he grew up in a good family, has not encountered setbacks, social order is a kind of bondage for him, so he chooses to use violence to solve the problem, he likes the feeling that others are afraid of him.
In junior high school, he was sent to a juvenile detention center and did not attend the graduation ceremony of the school, and then he dropped out of school and began to mix in gangster places completely.
When he was in the casino, he had a courage to dare to fight, which made Kiyojun Kimura, the leader of the KudoKai Tanaka Group, notice him, he pulled Nomura Goku to teach him to gamble, teach him how to recognize the old man in gambling, Nomura Goku began to gamble in the tanaka group's casino after learning, heard that he lost money, and sold the family land in order to repay the money.
Goku Nomura's mantra is "I'm not a bad person, I just want to be the supreme leader."
After joining the Kudo Kai Tanaka Group, Nomura began to use money to make connections, make friends, and further improve his status, from his mother, he inherited 700 million yen of assets, and this huge property became his tough backstage.
Lead Kudo to do no evil
After joining Kudokai, Goku Nomura began to open casinos, and in the bustling streets of Kokura Kita-ku, Fukuoka Prefecture, there was a casino opened by Goku Nomura, and every night, he would lead a group of gangsters to eat, drink and gamble, including nearby merchants and parliamentarians.
The best project in the casino is the dice roll, other projects are also involved in many people, the development of the casino is rapid, in the 80s of the last century, the casino operation reached its peak, generally a night can have 200 million yen in the income.
In the past few years, Nomura Hashito has been winning people's hearts and ruling out dissidents, he has money and courage, his mind is flexible, and he has always been valued by several leaders, so his status has risen rapidly.
At the age of 40, he became the core figure of tanaka group, and was also appointed as the "third generation leader" and "Kudo Kai Direct Counselor", after approaching the center of power, he was bolder and more ambitious, and making money alone could no longer satisfy his desires, and he wanted to go further in his career.
In 1980, Tanaka Group Leader Shintaro Tanaka was killed in a fight with other gangs, which gave Nomura an important opportunity to ascend to the throne.
On the one hand, he spent money to buy people's hearts and minds, and on the other hand, he used various means to drive out other candidates, and since then the family has been dominant.
After such an operation, he successfully became the chairman of the Tanaka group.
He also opened a number of casinos in the city, and upgraded his casino to a private casino dedicated to receiving important guests.
It is reported that as of 2000, Nomura Goku had made more than 1 billion yen by virtue of the casino as a source of income, not to mention that the family had money, and he inherited a huge amount of property.
Also in 2000, Goku Nomura was elected as the next successor of Kudo Kai by Hideo Kushita, and eight years later, Nomura was successfully inaugurated as the fourth generation leader of kudo kai.
After that, Nomura became even more unscrupulous and began to use violence to gain benefits for himself.
The local construction company has to pay the protection fee, the fee is 1% to 5% of the amount of their order, if not paid, Nomura Goku will send someone to smash and rob, do not let them work, these construction companies are very dissatisfied with Nomura Goku's bad behavior, but dare not speak out, can only obediently pay the protection fee.
Because of this behavior, many companies did not dare to enter Kitakyushu, Japan, let alone Fukuoka, the territory of Kudokai.
Nomura Goku for disobedience to his own discipline, direct grenade greeting, upward and downward effect, the bottom of the little brother also learned, once because of some personal grudges with a nightclub, he directly threw a grenade, this accident caused 12 casualties, causing panic to the local citizens.
Ordinary people they are not afraid, even officials are not afraid, Nomura Goku wants to enter the fishing and agricultural industry, found the former president of the Kitakyushu Fisheries Association to negotiate with him on related matters, but several times to no avail, Nomura Goku is very angry, he thinks that this Rausch fishing president dared to look down on himself, and directly sent his younger brother to kill him in one breath.
Two years later, because of a personal dispute, he killed the brother of the former president of the fisheries association.
In 2015, due to a conflict with a male dentist, he sent his younger brother to kill the male dentist, who was the grandson of the former president of the Fisheries Association he had killed before, and Nomura almost killed the president's entire family.
Officials are not afraid, and the police are not afraid, in 2012, Nomura Received a recording in which was the voice of a male policeman, who was resented by Nomura Because he scolded Nomura Goku and Kudo Kai a few words when handling the case.
In order to retaliate against this policeman, Nomura sent his younger brother to follow him to his residence, and the younger brother came up and fired two shots directly at the left leg of the policeman, and the policeman fell to the ground in response, and there was a pool of blood on the ground.
This kind of thing, which seems to us to be the most heinous thing, is like a normal thing in Nomura's case, and it will not attract his attention at all.
Lower body surgery failed, and the nurse was assassinated
In 2014, the nearly 70-year-old Nomura wanted to undergo surgery to increase his body because he was not satisfied with the size of his lower body, so he found a beauty hospital, consulted and decided to go for surgery.
He explained to the doctor in advance the size he wanted and made an appointment for hair removal.
This kind of private matter, Of course, Nomura Goku had to hide his identity, so the nurse who didn't know Nomura Goku's true identity joked: "What, compared to tattoos, the operation is not so painful, right?" ”
Nomura was angry when she heard it, this nurse was obviously looking down on herself, tattoos were the most proud thing for their gangs, it was obviously inappropriate for her to compare tattoos with her genitals, and she dared to underestimate herself!
Nomura went to the nurse and scolded, the nurse quickly apologized, and then the person in charge also came to apologize together, he ostensibly accepted the apology, but only he knew that he was thinking about how to retaliate against the nurse.
After going back, Nomura Satoru looked at the results of the operation and was not satisfied, he felt that it did not reach the size he wanted, and it was too much that there was inflammation there, and it was festering, Nomura Goku almost wanted to kill the nurse immediately, he felt that this was because the nurse did not treat himself more favorably.
Half a year later, Nomura Bego began to send his little brother to pay attention to the nurse, tracking her to find out her address, one night, the nurse was on the way home from work, suddenly someone rushed out, and it was a random stab at her, the white knife went in and out of the red knife, her neck and chest were stabbed several times, the blood was dripping, and she was unconscious.
Fortunately, someone soon came and helped get the nurse to the hospital so that the nurse was spared.
After nearly a month of treatment in the hospital, the nurse slowly improved, thanks to the kind person, otherwise the nurse would have become a ghost under Nomura Goku again.
What shocked the Japanese government the most was that Nomura Satoru dared to directly drop incendiary bombs at Shinzo Abe's private home, which was also repaid, and in time, it is estimated that Nomura Goku would dare to do anything.
The Japanese government has made Goku Nomura a key focus, but the road to overthrow Nomura is unusually long, why do you think he can be so arrogant, in addition to kudo kai itself, he also has an umbrella.
The wife behind Goku Nomura is his biggest patron, the wife of the Japanese politician Ryu Matsumoto, matsumoto Ryu, the former Japanese prime minister's cabinet minister and reconstruction countermeasures minister, is the leading figure in Japanese politics.
With this umbrella, Nomura is of course fearless, whether it is drug trafficking, arms, gambling, or usury, he can retreat.
The Japanese government has long targeted Nomura Goku, but the murders committed by Nomura Goku are all committed by his younger brothers, so it is difficult to directly accuse him.
Until Japan began to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics, the fight against organized crime and evil became the top priority, who to take the knife?
First and foremost was Goku Nomura, who added a number of key members of the KudoKai to the blacklist, first restricting their consumption, not being able to open bank accounts, not being able to rent a house in their own name, not using a credit card, and only using cash.
Then there is the fact that the gang is not allowed to collect protection fees, and if encountered, you can directly complain to the police.
In 2014, Japan mobilized 3,800 police forces from all over the world to collectively encircle and suppress Nomura Goku, and the United States imposed economic sanctions on Nomura Goku and another leader, freezing U.S. accounts and not allowing them to make deals with Americans.
Thousands of policemen here are waiting in a big way, and Nomura Goku walks out like no one in a sports suit, and he has not entered the police station, which time is not a good return, this time it must be the same.
But he really thought wrong, this time he couldn't escape.
In 2019, the Kudokai headquarters was dissolved, and the most arrogant gang began to decline.
Since his arrest and imprisonment in 2014, the cases against Goku Nomura have been tried 62 times, and it was not until August 2021 that Nomura was finally sentenced to death.
It was Yoko Kamikawa who made this decision, but she was the one who insisted on retaining the death penalty in Japan, so she was the most sentenced to death, and when it fell into her hands, Nomura Did not escape.
Japanese media commented that the death sentence for gang leaders who did not directly participate in the crime was epoch-making for Japan.
But for Japan, there is still a long way to go to sweep away organized crime and eliminate evil forces.
