Chairman Kazuya Uchibori personally attended the meeting… Special circumstances: “more than a dozen executives of the Inagawa-kai” appeared in Yokohama, where more than 20 investigators were on high alert.

Good relationship with Yamaguchigumi VI shown inside and outside

In order to mourn the death of President Yamazaki, a man of distinguished service, many top leaders and major direct attendants from the Yamaguchigumi VI attended the ceremony. It was Inagawa-kai that the senior executives attended on a scale not inferior to that of Yamaguchigumi VI. In addition to Chairman Uchibori, more than a dozen people attended, including Tomeyoshi Sadakata, the general manager of the Inagawa-kai, and Ryuji Ikeda, the general manager of the Inagawa-kai. It seems that there was a sense of duty between the two prestigious yakuza groups, which share the same locality of Yokohama City.

The Inagawa-kai attendees did not come in order of position. The top leaders and executives of Inagawa-kai-affiliated organizations that had close ties with the Masuda clan came at different times. Chancellor Sadakata is the third head of the Umechi clan, and General Director Ikeda is the 12th head of the Koganei clan. Yokohama is the main ground of the Inagawa-kai, and the Masuda-gumi is also based in Yokohama, so many families have in-laws who come and go. That is why there were that many people in attendance. I heard that three seats were prepared for the top three members of the gang who attended the nominated burning of incense.

After completing his attendance at 5:00 p.m., Chairman Uchibori left the funeral hall first and started his way home in a Century as the assistant head Takeuchi and other Yamaguchigumi VI leaders saw him off. Mr. Takeuchi watched the attendees leave the funeral hall until the end.

The relationship between Yamaguchigumi VI and Inagawa-kai is strong, and this funeral showed it again to the world. It seems that President Yamazaki’s wide friendship further deepened the bond between the two” (Journalist familiar with Yamaguchigumi affairs).

In August, the split war between the Yamaguchigumi VI and the Kobe Yamaguchigumi marked its 10th year. Immediately after that, an incident occurred in Miyazaki Prefecture in which a member of the Yamaguchigumi VI gang shot and killed a senior member of the Ikeda-gumi, with whom they were in conflict. Although the funeral was held in the midst of anticipated retaliation by the Ikeda-gumi, the head of Tsukasa-gumi and other top leaders attended the funeral with dignity.

Perhaps they wanted to show the strength of the Yamaguchigumi VI’s solidarity.

This is the view of the journalist mentioned above. This time, the funeral ended without delay. I hope this is not the “calm before the storm” of a fierce retaliation battle.
