White Edge

The White Edge (, Howaito Ejji) is a street gang featured in Yakuza/Yakuza Kiwami.
== Background ==
The White Edge is one of the three Color Gangs of Kamurocho, along with the Blue Z and the Bloody Eye. The White Edge's members are easily recognized because their clothing is primarily white in color. Along with the other two Color Gangs, the White Edge frequently does grunt work for the larger criminal organizations of Tokyo, such as the Tojo Clan and the triads, carrying out crimes that these bigger criminal groups do not want to be openly seen doing. Out of the three gangs, the White Edge is the second largest, beaten by the Bloody Eye.
The gang's main hideout is in the vacant lot on the southeastern edge of the Champion District. Here, the White Edge frequently hold parties for their members and any women who want to attend. The gang's leader is a man named Yuji Shiraki.
== Yakuza ==
In 2005, the White edge are recruited by the Akai Brothers of the Bloody Eye Gang to take part in a raid on the homeless encampment in West Park. Unbeknownst to the members of the White Edge, the Bloody Eye had been hired by Lau Ka Long of the Snake Flower Triad to kidnap Haruka Sawamura; who was being hidden in the Park, so they used the Blue Z and the White Edge to cause a distraction to mask her abduction.
Haruka's protector, Kazuma Kiryu, eventually learned of the White Edge's involvement in the raid and proceeded to track down Shiraki and his crew to their Champion District hangout. After interrupting the party that the gang was holding, Kiryu got into a fight with Shiraki and his men, which quickly ended in Kiryu's victory. Defeated, Shiraki admitted they had nothing to do with Haruka's kidnapping, and that it was the Akais who arranged the raid, so they must've been behind the abduction as well.
== Yakuza 2/Yakuza Kiwami 2 ==
The White Edge challenges Komaki for ownership of a lot within the Champion District, as the spot was the gang's hangout spot and Komaki wished to reside there. Komaki defeated the White Edge and ran them off from the area. 
== Yakuza 4 ==
In 2010, Shiraki runs into Kiryu on the streets of Kamurocho once again. Shiraki tells Kiryu that the humiliation of having been beaten by a single man drove the White Edge to break up only a few months after their battle. Ever since then, Shiraki's become a semi-legitimate businessman who owns a mostly legal used-car dealership that is only partially a front for the yakuza to launder their money.
