The Ishikawa-Gumi Family

"Quote about the Ishi-Gumi fam."The Ishikawa-Gumi is the largest crime family within the Imperium with an estimated strength of 35,000 members and an estimated total of 40% of all Yakuza activities within the Imperium.  The Ishikawa-gumi was started as a basic labor union in the early 19th century, during the Shinagi Industrial Revolution, by Isoroku Ishikawa.
== Clan History ==
Slowly but surely the family would grow, gaining more and more subsidiaries and attempting to gain more power within the Imperium.  While under the guidance of Minato Fujiwara the Ishikawa-gumi exploded in size growing to an unprecedented size encompassing an estimated 256 major subordinate factions with their hands in everything including drug, arms, and human trafficking as well as legitimate sections including real estate operations and stock market brokerages.  
Ishikawa-gumi was becoming a name almost synonymous with Yakuza, many examples of the Yakuza within pop-culture were of the Ishikawa-gumi.  With the coming of Emperor Genta Shinagi to power in 2186, he set the military on a quest to remove the Yakuza as a major influence in Shinagi life, and for this task the Testudo Guard were brutally efficient.  After 10 years the Ishikawa-gumi's power was down almost half.  The family decided to make most of their business more legitimate in order to solidify their ability to remain untouched.  For the most part this plan succeeded, though on occasion the Testudo Guard would come crashing in on one of their smaller operations.  
With the untimely deaths of Kazuma and Isami Shinagi and the abdication of the throne by Nobuo Shinagi, 14 year old Manaka Shinagi took the throne.  Sensing blood in the water the Yakuza families would start becoming much more active in the criminal side of their enterprises.  Oyabun Ryosei Otsuka with the help of his Wakagashira (1st Lieutenant) Yuichi Saito would begin making subtle inquiries into possibly joining the political game as well as their regular enterprises.  Currently through both their legitimate and illegitimate businesses the Ishikawa-gumi rake in an estimated 2.8 trillion credits.
== Organization ==
The Yakuza work very similar to mafia organizations with a head of the family, followed by their primary lieutenants who control large swaths of the family’s territory, followed by sub-lieutenants who then control smaller organizations within the family. There are also the Saiko-Komon or senior advisors who give advice to the Kumicho based on information given to them by legal and financial experts working under them.
