Doesnt it mean outcast or dirty in Japanese?


Nah the word Yakuza is just a name,like I guess Mafia which doesnt mean anything....does it?....


..

I think that it really means 'Dirty' or 'Outcast'..



Somebody else.. anything on this?

Yakuza..


Well to be totally honest I have had more than a few encounters (friendly) with the Yakuza and they do not have special training in Russia or do live firing tests of weapons in Australia....thats laughable....

And they MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT have any link to that moron " Aum Shinrikyo". (the slap head that used Sarin gas in the Tokyo subway)..
That link is utter bollocks.

And I am a linguist by trade and can assure you that Yakuza has no meaning(in Japanese) and the word cant even be written in Kanji and when written is always in Katakana.

And there would be a hell of a lot of True Samurai rolling in there graves at the blasphemy of the word BUSHIDO used even in the same sentence as Yakuza...
The characters on the link are not even Japanese...

No dis to you Fulcrum its just very sad that true greatness like that which was Samurai, could be portrayed as a bunch of crims in G-strings.
And links like that are just saddening to me as a true practitioner of Japans more tradditional martial ways...........
