Yakuza Gangster Gives Me A House Tour In Okinawa Japan (

The Yakuza. A criminal organization that has taken on an almost mythical reputation after being portrayed in movies, video games and books. But at the end of the day, they're people - perhaps with a few more problems than you or I, but people.

During my visit to Okinawa, I had the chance to meetup again with my now friend Yuyama-san. He lives there now, and wanted to introduce me to his other ex-Yakuza friend. Many former criminals struggle to adapt back to normal life, and in Japan this is especially difficult. I was curious to see how these guys were doing.

Little did I know I'd have to drink chinko-enhancing snake venom before the night was done..
