The Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi (神戸山口組) is a yakuza organization based in Hyogo, Japan.

Overview

The Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi yakuza organization includes Kobe-based Yamaken-gumi, Osaka-based Takumi-gumi, and Kyoyu-kai. They broke away from The Sixth Yamaguchi-gumi in 2015 and formed a new group called Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi.[2] The authorities closely monitored this split to try and relax tensions that exist between the groups. Since August there has been a slight increase in crimes throughout the country ranging from shootings to office attacks.[3] It was not until 15 April 2016, when authorities designated the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi as a crime syndicate.[3]
