Yakuza, Organized Crime, and the Japanese Right Wing | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
"Uyoku dantai" are Japanese nationalist right-wing groups of which there are over 1,000 in Japan with about 100,000 members in total. Well known for their black propaganda vans, they are often seen driving around staging protests with their loudspeakers outside the Chinese, Korean, and Russian embassies demanding ownership of the Senkaku and Kuril Islands to name a few. We caught up with Masaya Kudo, a Right-Wing activist and leader of his own group, "Nihon-no-Kai" as he explained his philosophies and concerns regarding the Right-Wing movement today and their ties to the Yakuza.

lol japanese cops are so adorable, measuring the sound levels of the vans before arresting these guys instead of just using their ears to determine if its's too loud
-
all i see is just a bunch of old guys just waiting for death to pick them up so they waste what little time they have to protest about stuff that's not important anymore

The jap right-wingers are demons which continue to try to practice fascism. The present jap prime minister is a right winger himself and his grandfather was a WWII war criminal.

How do you think Japan's and Russia's organisations can reach a compromise without violence?

Why do the police not do anything about it?

How important are nationalist advocates in modern society?

It is ironic how the japanese fight for Northern island claiming it is theirs but also claims Dokdo island is theirs too.... Too much greed

Is there a better, less aggressive channel for Yakuza to communicate their dissatisfaction?
