Sagawa Family

The Sagawa Family (, Sagawa-gumi) is a yakuza group featured in Yakuza 0. They are a subsidiary to the Omi Alliance.
== Overview ==
The Sagawa Family are a small subsidiary to the Omi Alliance which operates primarily in Sotenbori. Their patriarch, Tsukasa Sagawa, owns a handful of nightlife establishments throughout the district, the biggest of which is the Cabaret Grand. However, prior to the assigning of Goro Majima as the Grand's manager, the business had been failing.
Other than their cabarets and bars, the Sagawa Family also operates a remarkably extensive network of spies in the district; with men disguised as homeless people, city workers and store vendors constantly gathering information on Sotenbori's residents and visitors. During Yakuza 0, these spies are primarily used to keep tabs on Majima while he is their hostage, but it is also possible that this network of informants also serves some commercial purpose for the Sagawa Family; likely as some information brokerage service.
== History ==
In 1986, after Majima has spent a year in the Shimano Family's underground prison following his failed participation in a hit, Futoshi Shimano hands him over to the Sagawa Family to be kept in exile for an indefinite amount of time. Rather than simply keeping him as a hostage, Patriarch Sagawa puts him to work managing the Cabaret Grand. Sagawa offers to help Majima get back into the Shimano Family if he turns the Grand into a profitable business, which Majima eventually manages to achieve. However, every time Majima meets a profit goal, Sagawa simply imposes a new, higher goal for him to achieve.
==Trivia==
* When men from the Sagawa Family fight Majima, the game simply refers to them as "SOTENBORI MEN", rather than saying "SAGAWA FAMILY".
