The Only Woman Ever Accepted Into the Yakuza.

Описание: Mako Nishimura is a former member of the Yakuza, Japan's organized crime syndicates, which have historically been involved in activities such as gambling, extortion, loan sharking, and other criminal enterprises.

She is often described as the only woman known to have been formally accepted into the Yakuza through its traditional initiation process. Nishimura reportedly joined after gaining a reputation for defending a friend in a street fight and spent nearly 30 years in the organization.

During her time in the Yakuza, she participated in traditional customs, including a ritual in which she removed part of her little finger as a sign of apology and loyalty.

After years of involvement in the criminal underworld, as well as struggles with prison and addiction, Nishimura left the Yakuza. She now works to help former criminals and recovering addicts rebuild their lives, using her experiences to warn others about the realities of organized crime.
