The gangs (半グレ) are big news in Japan because they orchestrate fraud, violent robberies, sensational crimes. But none of them last long.
They often pay tribute to the yakuza but are not a networked structure
The lower ranking members are temporary staffers
No benefits
As Mizoguchi, the yakuza expert points out, the gangs don’t have quasi-family ties, no rituals, no protections for the lowest ranking members. The top take the money, recruit fringe of society, exploit them, expose them to risk, abandon them when they’re arrested. Sorta works

The Lifeline of Kamurocho and loan shark, Shun Akiyama, has arrived in #SEGAHeroes as an Epic Red Character. Check out the lore and trivia on one of #Yakuza's finest cast! (1/9) ImageImage

Although nominally he's a "tough guy", his strong sense of duty leads some to judge him as an easy mark. Still, his rugged masculinity and fighting strength have also won him many fans, and he is one of the most charismatic residents of Kamurocho. (3/11)
