All that's changing, though. The younger guys eschew tattoos and finger chopping. Plus, they view drugs as an increasingly important part of the business.
They're being driven slowly underground with changes in the law, and when that process is complete they'll probably be few in number but far more violent.

Damn it, it may be easy to forget but Japan was feudal until the 1800s (the last shogun stepped down in 1867). And their WW2 militarism was something of a last hurrah of that. Since then it seems to have been directed more inwards, in how they run businesses etc. The execs care for the workers, and in return the workers dedicate themselves to the company (or some such). As best i can tell, the core of most stories produced in Japan even today can be boiled down to the old samurai question of duty vs self-respect. Meaning that you will find a endless row of characters that spend time agonizing over following orders (or expectations) from their superiors, even though they personally find it wrong or offensive in some way. Looking for some escape clause that allow them to appease both.
