Yamano-kai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Third Yamano-kai (三代目山野会 Sandaime Yamano-kai?) is a now-disbanded yakuza gang based in Kumamoto, Kyūshū, Japan. It was a secondary organization of the Kumamoto-rengo (熊本連合).
The group, which was led by Tetsuo Ikeda, dissolved in April 2001. However, many of its members formed a new group, the Sanshin-kai, in September of that year.
The Yamano-kai was designated by the Japanese police as a boryokudan group from December 1992 to November 2001.
