Hatsushiba Clan

The Hatsushiba Clan (, Hatsushiba-kai) is a yakuza group featured in Yakuza 4.
==Overview==
The Hatsushiba Clan's offices are located in the Theater Square underground, in what was previously a homeless encampment, until the Hatsushiba forced them out to take over the real estate.
==Yakuza 4==
Kazuo Shibata ordered the Hatsushiba to track down the a woman, on account of her familiarity with Sky Finance. Hatsushiba sent his captain, Takumi Midorikawa, to steal the company's debtor ledger, in the hopes that it would contain information on the woman. Midorikawa also wound up kidnapping Takeshi Kido, who was close friends with Akiyama in the hopes that he would know something about the woman. 
Akiyama tracked Midorikawa to the Clan's offices and, with the help of many of the homeless men whom Hatsushiba had displaced, he mounted a rescue. After defeating Midorikawa in battle, Akiyama took back his ledger and released Kido from his captors.
A few days later, by the time Taiga Saejima returned to Kamurocho, the Hatsushiba Clan had been driven back out of their Theatre Underground offices by the local homeless population, who'd managed to retake the area as a shelter for themselves. Saejima himself would occupy Chairman Hatsushiba's old office and use it as a hideout while he was in town.
