By a gangster, apparently.

...Hey, a violent news story from somewhere other than America. I do what I can.

[Curses]

I was about to call this a revenge attack for the university incident...

So you're just posting this for the bloodshed?

Japan really needs to get the Yakuza and other gangs in check.

It's kinda significant, don't you think? He's only the fourth japanese politician to be killed since WW2. Japan has extremely strict gun laws.

Yakuza: Japanese for gang. It's not one organization called the "yakuza", banned.

Sorry, I watch martial arts movies, but always just assumed that Yakuza was the name of a gang. Never actually looked it up

Good luck there. The yakuza and their culture have been around so long and become so ingrained that it'd be like Russia trying to put their mafia back in line.

In a sickening turn of events, Japanese public defender and crusader against violent videogames, Yakamoto Takanuchi-San, referred to by Japanese citizens as Yak Taksan has blamed this killing on GTA and Doom, stating "These viorrent videogames have made ah youth into kirring machines of ultimate destluctive capacity! Ban them arr, now!"

And now can I please get that ticket into Hell?

[Evans]

I might be right on this, but the yakuza did exist before Doom and the likes.

[Cyberxion]

According to Yak Taksan, they trained on it.

Then I think it's legitimate to say that the Crusades took their violent nature from Vice City.

So did Hitler, mind you.

No, Hitler was actually a fan of Katamari Damacy. It makes sense if you think about it.

[Evans]

Never played that game, but it sounds evil, so I'll agree.

Yakuza is one of the most highly organised gangs.
Yakuza wants you dead, there is a reason for it.

Yakuza aren't one gang, any more than Bikies are one gang.
