Japense mafia 4 fingers12/29/2023 ![]() And, of course, I would like to thank my family (especially my nitpicking, reference-checking, proof-reading, long-suffering father) and many friends (and I will be in trouble here if I do not mention Kate Armor and Haveya Fassil) for their love and support during the darker moments of this project. Thanks are also due to Gota Takaaki, whose spontaneous generosity made possible my participation at the Twelfth International Congress on Criminology in Seoul. My sponsors, Kyushu Electrical Power Company, the Japan Foundation Endowment Committee, and the British Academy. My superb editors, Dominic Byatt and Claire Croft. My spotters, Patrick Chalmers, Ben Butcher, and Neil McGinty. Of the latter category, particular mentions to Miyazawa Setsuo, Nishimura Haruo, Yamada Hiroshi, Yamanouchi Yukio, Miyazawa Kaichi, Kata Naotaka, and the members of the Organised Crime Division of the Association for the Study of Security Science. My many interviewees both named and unnamed. For their extremely valuable comments, criticisms, and advice on drafts of various chapters, Tom Gill, Frank Leishman, Iwai Hiroaki, Wolf Herbert, Katalin Ferber, David Kaplan, Jonathan Lewis, Federico Varese, Joy Hendry, Chris Aldous, John Crump, David Johnson and the anonymous referees appointed by Oxford University Press and Social Science Japan Journal. ![]() For their enduring hospitality and support: in Tokyo, the Suzuki family, Takeshi, Sakiko, Kahori, Megumi, and Lucky in Kabe, Gota Sadato, and his wife Akiko in Iwate, the Chiba family, Shinichi, Keiko, Hideo, Ayako, Sahoko, and Motoki. In Iwate, to Senior Superintendent Numazaki, his wife Setsuko, and the personnel at both the Prefectural Police Headquarters and the Academy. The staff at the National Research Institute of Police Science, in particular Tamura Masayuki, Uchiyama Ayako, and Yonezato Seiji. My teachers, colleagues, and friends at the Scottish Centre for Japanese Studies (sadly no longer with us), the Institute of Social Science at Tokyo University, and, at the University of Oxford, Green College, the Department of Sociology, the Centre for Criminological Research, the Oriental Institute, and the Nissan Institute. For the record, special thanks to the following: My mentors Kweku Ampiah, Anthony Clunies-Ross, Diego Gambetta, Hoshino Kanehiro and Mizoguchi Atsushi. It would not be possible, short of writing another book, to adequately express my thanks to them hopefully they know who they are and how grateful I am. Without these individuals, not only would the book never have been written, my faith in human nature may well have been irreparably damaged. The enormous generosity, kindness, encouragement, and guidance from the vast and varied collection of people who assisted me in my research have more than made up for the ugliness and cynicism to which I have been exposed.
