Yakuza , also known as gokudō , are members of traditional organized crime syndicates in Japan. The Japanese police, and media by request of the police, call them bōryokudan ("violence group"), while the yakuza call themselves "ninkyō dantai", ("chivalrous organizations"). The yakuza are notorious for their strict codes of conduct and very organized nature.
During the formation of the yakuza, they adopted the traditional Japanese hierarchical structure of oyabun-kobun where kobun owe their allegiance to the oyabun. In a much later period, the code of jingi was developed where loyalty and respect are a way of life.
Yakuza members also favor tattoos, but theirs are elaborate body murals that often cover the entire torso, front and back, as well the arms to below the elbow and the legs to mid-calf. Naked, a fully tattooed yakuza looks like he's wearing long underwear. Dragons, flowers, mountainous landscapes, turbulent seascapes, gang insignias and abstract designs are typical images used for yakuza body art. The application of these extensive tattoos is painful and can take hundreds of hours, but the process is considered a test of a man's mettle.
