=== Early History ===
Not is much known about the Yakuza, but they appear to have an affiliation with the Continental Hotels, specifically in Osaka. They are well-connected and possibly have a history with the hotel's manager Koji Shimazu.
=== John Wick: Chapter 4 ===
The Yakuza first appear when they are having dinner in the hotel's kitchen. As Koji passes by to approach and visit John Wick on the rooftop, they greet Koji politely and with respect, showing they are well-connected to each other. Later, When Akira informed her father about the arrival of the High Table forces led by Chidi as ordered by the Marquis Vincent de Gramont, Koji informed everyone in the hotel including the Yakuza members to greet their guests with hospitality. It appears that some members of the Yakuza helped Koji along with other hotel employees during the start of the assault at the Osaka Continental, showing their preparation by equipping their weapons such as wakizashis, kodachis, bows, and arrows.
