While burakumin are well-represented in yakuza circles, not all yakuza are burakumin (which often was/is an inherited "India-style" caste, less so an ethnicity), especially so if you look outside the Yamaguchi-gumi. Unlike "burakumin" status, you can "get rid" of your status as yakuza, and return to a more or less standard "civilian" life.
