I don't think that the true story of Yakuza can be described in terms of movies. I sometimes see Yakuza guy walking wearing a jacket in such hot days. In a recently published book mentioned about a major organization, I could find nothing special. Almost all of it comes from interviews which was done to the boss by the authour early in the '90s.

Most of Riki Takeuchi (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0847607/) his movies are Yakuza movies :cool:

How about this flick, "Tokyo Drifter" from 1966. Read old school stuff about a handsome gangster who tries to go straight but keeps getting pulled back into the Yakuza turf wars. I watched it once and thought it was cool!

In any prison here in Japan, their keepers classify them into about 10-20 groups along the results of aptitude tests. Each group is assigned a work like a printing, a laundering, a metal molding and anything else. Any of Yakuzas is classified by what organization he belongs to. From books I read (ok?), Yakuza members and non-yakuzas are made to be quite different groups so as not that the knowledge which Yakuzas have should not infect non-yakuzas. I think the best work for yakuza is a laundering.
