Came across Kajiwara's name because he ordered the 1953 attack on actor Koji Tsuruta, who was a big shot at the time. https://t.co/o7tjDUhtJyja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%B6%B4…
Image The attack apparently came about because Tsuruta's manager, Renkichi Kanematsu, offended Yamaguchi-gumi boss Kazuo Taoka. That's Taoka in the middle, with his arm around Tsuruta on the right, in a 1952 photo. Image

Reading the wiki entry for leading Yamaguchi-gumi mobster Kiyoharu Kajiwara (梶原清晴), it seems he didn't die a typical yakuza death. He was fishing on Iwojima in 1971, when a wave swept him out to sea, and he drowned. ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A2%B6… A cursory look for photos of Kajiwara hasn't turned up anything reliable. He is portrayed in a yakuza manga, though. Image
