Sakaki Family

The Sakaki Family (; Sakaki-gumi) is a yakuza group featured in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. They are a subsidiary of the Tojo Clan.
== Background ==
The Sakaki Family are a Tojo Clan subsidiary which operated in Kamurocho during the 1990's. They were rivals with the smaller Arakawa Family, despite the fact that the Arakawa were a lower-rank organization within the Tojo hierarchy.
== Yakuza: Like a Dragon ==
On New Year's Eve of 2000, Sakaki Family officer Chikao Suzumori gets into an argument with Masato Arakawa (son of the Arakawa Family's patriarch, Masumi Arakawa), after finding him passed out at the entrance to his office building. Mistaking him for a drunk and not recognizing who he was, Suzumori antagonized Masato, leading to the latter drawing a gun and killing him.
After Masato told his father what had happened, Patriarch Arakawa came up with a way to prevent his son from going to prison: Patriarch Arakawa told his family's most loyal soldier, Ichiban Kasuga, that it had been family captain Jo Sawashiro who had killed Suzumori. Since an officer of the Arakawa killing an officer of a higher-ranked family would've meant headquarters reprisals against the entire Arakawa Family, this lie convinced Ichiban to take the fall for the murder.
It is unclear what became of the Sakaki Family after Ichiban falsely confessed to Suzumori's murder and went to prison.
