Why does the mob boss want his finger missing?

I really haven't heard that Japanese gang members have this kind of "hobby". You should know that the underworld is legal in Japan, and their organization is strict and efficient, even higher than that of the Japanese police. If you have to cut off a little finger to join the club, I am afraid the Japanese government will not allow it.

As far as I know, cutting off the little finger is a kind of punishment, which is called "pointing" in Japanese. Only gang members will be punished if they violate the gang rules. This can be seen from some videos about the Yamaguchi group flowing out from the Internet. Some gangsters in the Yamaguchi group have intact fingers. So that is to say, not every member of the Yamaguchi group has to break a little finger.

However, some people on the Internet said that under some special circumstances, the younger brother may also cut off one of his fingers and give it to the "big brother" to show his loyalty. But for whatever reason, there is no doubt that not all members of the Yamaguchi group have severed their fingers.

In addition, the Yamaguchi group is not a garbage gang. With a history of 100 years, it can be said that it is one of the three major gangster organizations in Asia and even the world. The gang was founded by Haruki Yamaguchi of Kobe in 19 15. At present, it is headquartered in Kobe, Japan, and its main activities are in the western and southern parts of Japan, with influence all over Japan.

The organizational framework of the Yamaguchi group is also extremely complicated and rigorous, so I won't say anything about it. We can compare the enterprise frameworks of Tencent, Ali and Baidu with those of Yamaguchi Group, and the former is even worse. Although the Yamaguchi group is a triad society, its internal management framework is not loose, nor is it a garbage gang that only knows how to fight and kill.

The yakuza gang members should abide by the relevant gang system, and they even have their own newspaper "Yakuza New Newspaper" and official website. The organization's economic income mainly comes from smuggling contraband, but it also involves some traditional industries, such as entertainment, real estate, stock and so on.

To sum up, we can draw a conclusion that the Yamaguchi group is not an ordinary gang, and the punishment of cutting off fingers may have existed before. After all, "belly-cutting apology" is also one of the inventions of their country, and cutting fingers is not a piece of cake. However, it is estimated that in modern times, this punishment or practice is no longer adopted, but some members of the gang do have finger amputations.
