The area around the headquarters of the Yamakawa family, the core organization of the Inagawa-kai gang, in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, was on high alert. Seiji Takayama, the young leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi VI, emerged from inside. He was greeted by Jiro Kiyota, the president of the Inagawa-kai. An Inagawa-kai official tells us
The purpose of his visit this time was for Young President Takayama to give a personal ‘year-end greeting’ to President Kiyota. President Kiyota and Chairman Kazuya Uchibori greeted him, and he was greeted by Wakatou Takayama, Assistant Wakatou Masayoshi Usuha, Assistant Wakatou Yasumichi Ikuno, and I think about a dozen security personnel.

Tomohiko Suzuki, a non-fiction writer who is familiar with the situation of gangsters, said, “Kodokai, the parent organization of Wakatou Takayama, and the Yamakawa family have been friends for a long time. The content of the meeting itself was probably just seasonal greetings and small talk. However, the fact that Wakatou Takayama and President Kiyota talked over a meal is meaningful in itself. It seems that young leader Takayama is planning to win the war against the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi by 100 to 0. The stalemate will continue, but in the end, it will be resolved by violence. In order to achieve this, it is thought that they intend to strongly demonstrate their friendly relationship with the Inagawa-kai both at home and abroad.
The calm meeting was probably the calm before the storm.
