One of mah favorite, all time, movie is Kill Bill. Volume one was so much betta dan two, duncha think? O'Ren Ishii 'n Gogo were mah favorite characters throughout da whole movie. Sucks, they died! But anyways, I decided ta make a Sou/Mi fic dealin' with da Japanese yakuza. It'll be like a Romeo 'n Juliet kinda ding but less corny. More comedy 'n action! Now dis is just da character guide for da story. Da first chaptah won't be up yet but Ima still workin' on it. If ya dun know da positions 'n stuff or at least know which person is higher dan who in each clan, den y'allget a 'lil confuse. Now, Ima not askin' ya ta memorize what Kumicho 'n Saiko Komon means, I just want ya ta know dat Aoshi is in a higher rank dan Hannya, or Okina is in a higher rank dan Aoshi.

They are known for their Shinobi fighting styles. Unlike the modern day yakuza with their guns, this yakuza prefers kunais, daggars, and many other ninja weapons. Out of all the yakuza in Japan, they are the most merciful to their clan members since their ranking are made up mostly their family members. But that doesn't mean they're always nice to their family members. If one member were to commit a crime, they won't hesitate to kill each other.

Most frightful clan. Whatever their Lord say, they must obey or else it's instant death. "The strong live and the weak die," is their motto. Their members are fierce and aren't afraid of anything. They are most loyal to their leader. They mostly use swords of katana and wakizashi but they can also use guns if it's to their desire. They don't follow the way of the samurai but they do master their samurai swordsmanship.

O t h e r Y a k u z a

Aka Long (Red Dragon) Clan - A Chinese yakuza led by Enishi Yukishiro's, affiliated with the Juppon Gatana.

Shimbara clan- Led by Shougo Amakusa, affiliates with the Oniwabanshuu.

I n s i d e I n f o r m a t i o n

R a n k i n g . . .

Oyabun/Lord - The most highest and respectable leaders of their clan. They must be obeyed and those who are lower than them must always put their Lord's orders first and foremost before any government laws. If not, the Lord will punish you severely.

Kobun - They act as the Oyabun's best bodyguard. Listening to every order from their lord even if they must give up their life.

Kumicho (supreme boss) - The highest ranking of bosses. They are in charge of many regions, sometimes, the gangs around the whole country.

Saiko Komon (senior advisor) - Advises to the Lord and sometimes the bosses.

Sohonbucho (Headquarter´s chief) - In charge of the yakuza's headquarters and is in control of the Lord's army.

Wakagashira (A regional boss) - Just like a supreme boss but they are lower in rank. They also are in charge of smaller regions.

Shateigashira (Lesser regional boss) - Like a wakagashira but they are charge of smaller regions.

Shateigashira-hosa (Assistants to the Shateigashira) - They assist their Shateigashira

Wakashu (Junior leaders) - They lead their own small gangs, they are the lowest of the highest ranks.

Minion - They're...just minions. They are the lowest rank of the lowest ranks. That's where you would start out.

P u n i s h m e n t . . .

Anyone can punish anyone that is below their rank but the Lord must always be informed. A way you'd get punish if you did something that displeased your superior. If it's a very bad crime to your higher ranking officers than you get death. If it's anything else, your clan cuts a finger off from your hand and you must present it to their person who you have displeased.

Personal Note

I kinda tweaked it a bit with da yakuza rankin'. 'Cause there was too many ranks 'n so I didn't wanna confuse all of y'all. What do I mean by tweaked?I mean, I took a few ranks out. Dat's all. Dis is true about da Japanese Yakuza, da majority is like da punishments 'n stuff. I'll make sure I'll get da first chaptah in soon so keep lookin' out!
