6. International Gangs/Mafia - Many
- Yakuza are from diverse international backgrounds (White, Black, Korean, Vietnamese) yet operate through Japan. Japanese Yakuza are more frequently from the Big Island/ Hilo.
They are especially known with the USA military crowd as their go-to for women in the sex industry. Hawaii is a stopping point for USA military & ships returning from deployment. A century in existence and organizationally older than the State of Hawaii, yakuza have proliferated the young Hawaii state as legitimized business people who network together and have spiritual Dojos/temples that they support.
Most Americans don't know the complexities of Japan or Asian culture and business's as well as the plethora of unfamiliar and typical Japanese surnames. This makes the culturally superstitious Americans easy to be manipulated by yakuza because they are a #1 source for Asian cultural knowledge in the USA.
