History[]
The Wolverine[]
The Yakuza were hired by corrupt Minister of Justice Noburo Mori to kidnap Mariko Yashida and take her to her father, Shingen Yashida to be personally executed. They infiltrated the funeral of Ichirō Yashida and tried to kidnap Mariko. However, Wolverine killed many of the mobsters with aid from Kenuichio Harada and Yukio and got Mariko to safety. They later fought Wolverine on top of a bullet train, although there were all taken out.
A group of them later managed to succeed in capturing Mariko and brought her to Shingen, but were killed by ninjas of the Black Clan.
