consoles was inspired by the Japanese Yakuza criminal organization, a mobster who has strong links with the cult of the Bushido samurai.Like many other stories of states, the Japanese History
was a very restless one, with many wars and disasters occurring over time. During this time, Japan was controlled by various mafia groups who fought each other for supremacy and in order to seize as much land and wealth as possible. During that period the martial arts appeared and the Samurai
emerged and developed a new social class.
The Samurai were direct vassals to the Shogun
and served him in military actions. They were experts in fight, with or without weapons, they had special armor and two legendary swords. Very often, in case of defeat, the bravest Samurai asked the other warriors to kill themselves in group, providing an example for future generations. Until late fifteenth century, the Samurai culture developed in the "Bushido Code", influenced by Confucian teachings and Zen culture.
