   What is the average age of a yakuza?

   • The average age of a Yakuza now is 55, and I am 55. These guys are fading out. And as they fade out, the news value diminishes. I feel kind of bad about it because I’ve spent so much time doing research. I have these wonderful materials I’ve collected over the years that don’t have much value.

   When did the Yakuza stop paying off?

   • [They started] in 2009, and the last places to have these on the books was Tokyo on October 1st, 2011. Then everywhere in the country, it was illegal to pay off the Yakuza.

   Is it a crime to pay off the Yakuza?

   • So these organized crime exclusionary ordinances, which first started appearing in 2009, made it a crime to pay off the Yakuza. So if you do business with them, if you associate with them, if you provide them money or you hire them for their services, you would be a criminal.

   Why were Yakuza so hard to study?

   • There were some Yakuza who also write books, very much skipping over the actual money-making part and focusing a lot on the nobility, the culture, the gang wars, and tales of glory and violence. But because the Yakuza were so omnipresent and so part of Japanese society and so darn organized, studying them was easy.
