“In movies and novels, the yakuza are always reaching for a sword or a gun, but that's bullshit. Professionals were different in those days. Their job, the job they depended on for a living, was to shake the dice and give their customers a good time, which meant it was actually quite rare for them to quarrel. There were bosses who didn't see eye to eye, of course, but if they'd started carving each other up just because they didn't get on well, the police would have clamped down on them, and their business would have folded. So in a way you could say we were more accomodating generally than ordinary people.”
