Yamaguchi-gumi senior figure arrested over fatal assault at home

Abe fatally hit the victim in the head with a weapon while intoxicated.

With Catana most probably...

Good on the police. There seems to be a crackdown on these good-for-nothing Yakuza scum. Not before time either.

Hope he swings if convicted.

What does this even mean? Pray where does it say what weapon he used? What do French gangsters use? Baguettes? Oh, I'm sorry- Am I stereotyping?

I'm sure a lot of Japanese gangsters have a good old drink and think "I know, I'll do me a bit of karate"...

Well which was it? A katana or karate and a knife?

With Catana most probably...

What the heck is a Catana?

What the heck is a Catana?

Apparently it's either a brand of catamaran, or a comic book/ artist.

The mind boggles on what kind of ending either of those two would bring.

Sleeping with the fishes?

Another idiot who cannot handle his drink!

Off to prison you go!

Katana: “Catana” is the Portuguese / Spanish derivation of Katana, much like katakana is used for foreign words in Japan.

“What the heck is a Catana?”

Seems a ‘reading comprehension & English spelling’ “Don” enjoys ‘lording over’ these threads like the aforementioned Yakuza “boss”?

Don’t worry about it, @Paolo 3:37pm. You were understood by those here tolerant of ‘other’ foreigners. - You have an equal right to post comments. “Spell check” always helps the ‘English’ ‘slavemasters’ understand:

*- “With a Katana most probably...”*

American 'gangsters' use attorneys, CPAs and corporate shells. Along with politicians and judges.

While there’s NO mention of a ‘bladed’ weapon, the crime was in his apartment, NOT “into the streets”, as ‘fantasied’ by someone . From the above article:

- “beating a man while they were drinking alcohol at around midnight on Sun at Abe’s apartment” -

Perhaps someone’s education in Japanese ‘culture’ comes from ‘reading too much childish manga’ AND ‘watching unrealistic anime & cartoons?:

*- “Katanas can only be used by martial artists.. It is impossible that in Japan you can go out into the streets with a katana to attack someone, that was hundreds of years ago..” -*

Adoptive nationalistic ‘cosplay’ doesn’t make someone a Japanese or a citizen, does it?

Here’s some ‘reality’ of ‘real people’ in the ‘Present’ day using swords for illegal activities:

*- Feb. 27, 2020 “Man arrested for killing wife with sword” -*

*- *July 1, 2018 “Man with samurai sword arrested for robbery in Osaka”

- Dec. 8, 2017 “3 people dead, 1 injured after knife, sword attack at Tokyo shrine” -

It’s also possible they didn’t ‘follow the law’ and ‘only become martial artists’ to get a license for their sword use.

*- “Katanas can only be used by martial artists..” -*

The article states a weapon! so where did this Tana came from?

@Oxycodin

American gangster uses guns, Japanese gangster use karate and knives Death is death regardless of how it was done! Murder is murder its all the same!

Drinking responsibility is fine but both in my home country of the UK and my home country of Japan drinking until one is completely twatted is standard practice and I’ve often throw the towel in for customers in the past. Doesn’t go down well but stupid is as stupid does.

Hope this boss getting pinched results in an even greater decline in the Y”u”kuza scum! Tiered off them and then some!

In Japan, Katana is treated as a "work of art" and anyone can buy or possess it, but you will be arrested if you carry it around.

It was, I think, in 1998 when I read about an almost identical case. And I almost feel like it was the Yamaguchi-gumi gang, too. There was evidence in that case, and quite a few witnesses at the beginning. What ended up happening was that several witnesses forgot within a few weeks, and all of a sudden a low-level gang member confessed and took the blame. So what if it contradicted the evidence and investigation so far - if someone confesses, the crime is solved there.

I almost believe that will be the case here as well.

When it comes to politicians, yakuza members and other "erai" persons, our police and judiciary are suddenly blind and seemingly retarded.

But alas, if someone steals an onigiri for 100 yen in a konbini!

Don't tell me you don't know how to Google...

Yakuza is already long dead. Chinese and Vietnamese crime syndicates dominate Japan today.
