Ganzhe

The Ganzhe (, Gaanjīu/, Ganjō) is a Chinese-American mafia operating in Hawaii featured in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. It is led by its Commander, Wong Tou.
==Overview==
The Ganzhe is one of the largest crime syndicates in Honolulu, rivaling the Barracudas in size and influence. Its membership consists of Asian-Americans.
Though appearing to be independent, the Ganzhe, like the Barracudas, ultimately answer to Bryce Fairchild, the Overseer of Hawaii's underworld and the Sage of Palekana. To ensure Wong's loyalty, several Ganzhe members are clandestine Palekana who are loyal to Bryce above all else.
==Involvement==
===Background===
Palekana established its power over Ganzhe, and earned Wong's loyalty, when they murdered his mother in China and mailed him his severed head, with the package even containing the address of the Chinese village Wong came from, demonstrating the resources and influence Palekana had and compelling Wong to bow his head to them.
The Ganzhe are known to run several lucrative, highly secret casinos in the city, which bans legal gambling.

They are first seen harassing a storeowner for protection money before being subdued by Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu's party, and then being pushed back by Bryce as he introduces himself to them.
Along with the Barracudas, Palekana has ordered the Ganzhe to search for Lani Mililani and Akane Kishida for Bryce's own reasons. After Wong is bested in combat by Kasuga's party, he begins explaining why the Ganzhe were searching for them, in the process disobeying orders to not mention the Overseer's existence. At this time, a large portion of the Ganzhe reveal themselves to be Palekana spies and attack Wong, with one of them even leaping out a window to his death in order to announce Wong's betrayal. They take Wong's 6-month-old son hostage.
Wong is later killed by the Barracudas. The Ganzhe continue to act as enemies of Kasuga's party throughout the game.
Kasuga's party later discover Wong's son held captive on Nele Island. It is surmised by Chitose Fujinomiya that Bryce intended to mold him into being loyal to Bryce, so that his status as Wong's son could later be used to install him as a puppet successor. After Bryce was exposed, Wong's son would have been saved.
