Edo, 1657. A man walks alone toward his enemy's house, invited for drinks and to make peace after years of violence between rival gangs. His men beg him not to go. He enters anyway, and that very night he dies in a hot tub, at the hands of the samurai who invited him. No punishment for the samurai appears in the records of the time.
That man was named Banzuiin Chōbei, and today Japan's most famous criminal organization calls him an ancestor. The Yakuza claims it was born this way: ordinary people who had the courage to face the samurai's sword.
But what if that story didn't begin where everyone thinks it did?
In this documentary, we follow the true trail, from the forced peace of 1603 to the port of Kobe in 1915, to answer a single question: Did the Yakuza really originate to confront the samurai of feudal Japan?
Along the way, things emerge that no one talks about:
• Why hundreds of thousands of warriors, trained since childhood, suddenly found themselves with no one to fight against.
• What the first men who organized themselves into gangs in the streets of Edo were really doing, and what families they came from.
• What the temple registry was, and what happened to a person whose name was erased from it.
• Why gambling tables were set up inside temples, and not in the cities.
• Where the word "Yakuza" comes from, and why it literally means something worthless.
• Why the samurai government gave a surname and two swords to a street vendor leader.
• Why the tattoo that is now associated with honor began as a state-imposed punishment.
• Why cutting off the tip of the little finger had anything to do with the hilt of a sword.
• How a former fisherman from Kobe founded, in 1915, with just fifty dockworkers, the group that would become the largest in organized crime. Japanese
The answer completely changes the image that film and theater have built up over three hundred years. And it's in the video, told in the order in which it happened.

● Não! Não é daquela cópia barata do vale-vudo, que usa o berimbau e se esconde atrás do nome da capoeira.
● É da única capoeira existente, criada no Brasil Colonial.
● Eu gosto muito de aprender das histórias das Artes Marciais.
● Gratidão, por trazer mais uma grande e importante história!

o nome original de Chobei era
Tsukamoto Itarō (塚本伊太郎) sendo ele Samurai, um Ronin.
A origem dos Yakuza está nos próprios Samurais .
Não haviam camponeses ou pessoas comuns no comando das famílias de Yakuza em sua absoluta origem , haviam membros de diversas camadas da sociedade, isso é fato ao servir essas quadrilhas e geralmente essas pessoas é que. eram presas ou condenadas .
Para comandar esse tipo de gente se exige muita violência, muita disciplina, portanto os chefes e tenentes de territórios eram ronins decaídos pós guerra .
Aí sim vieram acordos como os com as guildas de ambulantes e esses homens foram treinados por forças policiais de samurais como espécie de vigilantes de bairros , portavam lanternas Goyo , bastão Jo , jutte , corda Nawa para Hojō Jutsu , e seus chefes portavam Tantô e Wakizashi ( espadas curtas ).
