' Wrote:They are not very secret. I would say 95% of Kusari people know about Hogosha. Don't forget that Hogosha is divided into many organizations and syndicates.
Also the reason Hogosha is tolerated is the fact noone wants to risk get in trouble with them. They know lot of naughty things about many politicians and officers.
That's what was bothering me somewhat with the Black Dragon Society. I mean, the Hogosha are based on Yakuza, which are a criminal organisation, yet somewhat useful to Japan due to taking care of the lower classes especially.
And they're not hiding their allegiance one bit. The members are pretty much all known to the public and easily recognisable.
Yet Black Dragon Society is supposed to be a secret organisation... Nothing like their RL counterparts. Also, they seem to be the members of higher society (when the Yakuzas come from the poor).
