Jinsei Family

The Jinsei Family (, Jinsei-ikka) is a subsidiary family of the Tojo Clan.
==Overview==
=== History ===
All that is known of the Jinsei Family's background is that they are a 3rd string family, meaning they operate under another family beneath the larger Tojo Clan. Thus, they are very low ranking in the Tojo Clan hierarchy.
=== Yakuza 0 ===
In Kiryu's search for information on Tachibana Real Estate, he is lead to the Hakua Building where Namase Bar is the only business that hasn't been bought out. The Namese Bar owner who greets Kiryu asks if he is affiliated with the Jinsei Family. It is possible that the Jinsei Family was squeezing Namese Bar for money despite not protecting them from Tachibana Real Estate. However, Jun Oda arrives to the bar on behalf of Tachibana Real Estate and attempts to return him all the protection money that he has paid them to date. It is 30,000 yen a month for three years rounded up to 2 million yen, which he received from the Jinsei Family patriarch. The Namese Bar owner refuses Oda's offer to buy the property and Oda tosses the money in his face. After Oda leaves, the Namese Bar owner scoops up the money.
Shinji Tanaka, a teenager with a hatred toward the yakuza, has been ambushing and attacking every yakuza member he can find. Eventually, he runs into Kazuma Kiryu, who tells him that he should stop this habit before he gets himself into trouble. Shinji does not heed his warning and eventually attacks a member of the Jinsei Family. The other members of the Jinsei Family capture him and hold him hostage. They get him to say the person he works for, not knowing that Kazuma Kiryu has almost no relation to him.
A few members of the Jinsei Family meet Kiryu and tell him to come with them to the Jinsei Family office. Kiryu refuses due to their lack of etiquette and a fight breaks out, with Kiryu emerging the victor. Kiryu then reveals to a bearded Jinsei Family member that Shinji lied about Kiryu pulling the strings surrounding his attacks on the yakuza and tells them to bring him to their office.
Inside the Jinsei Family office, a member recognizes Kiryu as the man that the Dojima Family put a bounty on. The three Jinsei Family members in the office decide to defeat Kiryu, take him to the Dojima family to claim the bounty, and remain in their good graces. However, Kiryu defeats all of them and teaches Shinji a lesson.
=== Yakuza 6 ===
The Jinsei Family is still active in 2016. One of its members, Murota, becomes a temporary ally of Kiryu after being rescued by him.
