How Gen Z Killed the Yakuza
The Yakuza is collapsing, destroyed by Gen Z and the cultural and generational tension they caused. I explore how legal crackdowns, economic shifts, and a cultural clash with Japan’s youngest generation have pushed Japan’s most infamous organized crime syndicates to the brink how “Tokuryu”, a new form of decentralized, digital-native organized crime is rising to take its place. This is a case study of generational tension that’s not just applicable to gangs, but work, family, maybe even the future itself.
