The now powerful criminal empire was once the smallfry of the Japanese underworld, dealing mostly in entertainment, and sex trafficking. Post WWII the Yoshidas branched out across the globe, getting their hand in many different corporate dealings. With corporate backers, the once small Yoshida family became a superpower by the early 1980's. A hand in every corporate backroom deal and a dollar in every politicians pocket they quickly rose up the ranks.
