Inagawa-kai is a prominent Japanese organized crime syndicate, part of the Yakuza network. Founded in 1946 by Inagawa Kenji, it is based in the Kanto region, particularly in Tokyo. The group is known for its involvement in various illegal activities, including extortion, gambling, and drug trafficking. The Inagawa-kai is recognized for its relatively moderate approach compared to other Yakuza groups, often focusing on business ventures and community relations. It has a hierarchical structure, with a strong emphasis on loyalty and respect among its members. Over the years, the organization has faced law enforcement crackdowns but remains influential in Japan's underworld.
