Lol the Yakuza is a Japanese ring that works in China and the Triad in a Chinese ring that works in Japan so in Japan you would be safe from the Yakuza seeing as how no one ever looks under their own nose and teh Yakuza really don't do anything there.

Yakuza is a lot more broad than one group.

wikipedia said:
Yakuza (ヤクザ or やくざ , Yakuza?), also known as gokudō (極道), are members of traditional organized crime groups in Japan. Outside of Japan, the term also refers to traditional Japanese organized crime in general. Today, the yakuza are one of the largest organized crime phenomena in the world.
In Japanese legal terminology, yakuza organizations are referred to as bōryokudan, literally "violence groups". Yakuza members consider this an insult, as bōryokudan is a term which can be applied to any violent criminal. In the Western press they are sometimes called the "Japanese mafia", by analogy with other traditionally Italian-Sicilian organized crime groups of the same name. For a list of present and past yakuza gangs, see the bōryokudan page.
