History
Earth, Japan: Year 1603-1868
The Yakuza originated during the Tokugawa Shogunate (Mid-Edo period) with two separate groups of outcasts. The first of those groups were the Tekiya, wandering peddlers who traveled from village to village, selling low-quality goods at festivals and markets. Many Tekiya belonged to the Burakumin social class, a group of outcasts or “non-humans,” which was actually below the four-tiered Japanese feudal social structure.
The second group that gave rise to the Yakuza was the Bakuto, or gamblers. Gambling was strictly forbidden during Tokugawa times, and remains illegal in Japan to this day. The Bakuto took to the highways, fleecing unsuspecting marks with dice games or with hanafuda card games. They often sported colorful tattoos all over their bodies, which led to the custom of full-body tattooing for modern-day Yakuza. From their core business as gamblers, the Bakuto branched out naturally into loan sharking and other activities.
Even today, specific Yakuza groups may identify themselves as Tekiya or Bakuto, depending on how they make the majority of their money. They also retain rituals used by the earlier groups as part of their initiation ceremonies.
Since the end of Earth War Mark II (1939-1945), Yakuza Organizations have rebounded in popularity after a lull during the war. The Japanese government estimated in 2007 that there were more than 102,000 Yakuza members working in Japan and abroad, in 2,500 different families.
