Enma Syndicate

**Enma Syndicate** (炎魔会, *Enma-kai*?) is an extremely infamous yakuza group and one of the Four Great Powers. They are currently led by Doppo Akari.

Initially, the syndicate was founded by Kio to make way towards a bright future for Ayashimon by uniting all of Japan. However, upon Doppo being made second chairman, Enma has since become a vicious organization that seeks to take over Kabukicho by force.

They are the main antagonist group in *Ayashimon*.

## Crest

The crest of the gang is the kanji 炎 (honō) with four brackets surrounding it and a flaming wreath below.

## Overview

### First Generation

During its founding, the Enma Syndicate was led by Kio to form alliances with Ayashimon gangs and other organizations, while following the code of jingi (仁義, ***jingi***? *Literally meaning*: justice and duty).

### Second Generation

In the present time, the Enma Syndicate has been reformed by Doppo to rule Kabukicho with an iron fist, straying away from Kio's original goal of cooperating peacefully with the other organizations in the district. Under his command, the syndicate forces all other gangs and subgroups to submit to them through the ritual duel and brutalization methods if defied, such brutality being their chairman turning Ayashimon into his artworks. Through unknown circumstances, the syndicate is also backed up by the Onmyo Bureau, allowing them to cover up any violent activities they may cause; however, they are not considered allies by Doppo and are still cautious as to not alert them.

## Uniform

The standard uniform for a subordinate of the Enma Syndicate is a dark suit with a light shirt and a dark tie, along with a pin of the syndicate's crest attached to the collar.

## Strength

As one of the Four Great Powers, the Enma Syndicate is one of the four most powerful organizations in Kabukicho. Being connected to the Onmyo Bureau, the Enma Syndicate has enough influence to cover up their activities, having downplayed the events with the search for the Urara Family in the newspaper and had the blame placed on someone.

## History

### Past

At some point in the past, the Enma Syndicate was founded and led by Kio who eventually went on to become the great oyabun of Shinjuku. Following his death, the Enma Syndicate became fractured, with the yakuza families apart of the syndicate choosing to go their separate ways and aiming to become the new great leader of Shinjuku.

Two years after Kio's passing, Doppo Akari was chosen as his successor and the Enma Syndicate became newly reformed.

### Vs. Doppo Arc

After becoming informed by the Onmyo Bureau of two illegal entrants, along with hearing about Shinjuku Gyoen's unplanned renovation, Doppo has Hashihime brought in for questioning to find out if she has any connections with them since she serves as Shinjuku Gyoen's border guard. Though he hears her denial in having anything to do with them, Doppo becomes unconvinced and has her transferred away from her post. He then makes an announcement to the rest of the Enma Syndicate of his plan to have everyone in Shinjuku respect the syndicate through fear and puts an order out to hunt down the two illegal entrants and eliminate them, wanting to make them public examples.
