They, who swarmed around public works and redevelopment, were once called "sokaiya" (corporate racketeers) and "parasites." Ryuichi Koike was arrested for the largest post-war illegal profit-giving case in Japan, exceeding 14 billion yen, taking advantage of numerous top-tier companies such as Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Nomura Securities, and Yamaichi Securities. Now, having become a consultant, what can be seen from his appearance is the curse of the sokaiya and the corporations and politics that needed them – it was also a microcosm of Japanese society. Breaking a 20-year silence, the legendary sokaiya speaks for the first time about the darkness of Japan. Ryuichi Koike, arrested in the largest post-war illegal profit-giving case. The legendary sokaiya, now a consultant, breaks a 20-year silence to talk about the darkness of Japan. Chapter 1: The Legendary Sokaiya Chapter 2: "The Pillar of the Financial World" Kotetsu Uemori Chapter 3: Journey with Koike Chapter 4: Kakuei Tanaka and Rikiya Kijima Chapter 5: Kaoru Ogawa and the Era of Sokaiya Chapter 6: The Prelude to the Incident Chapter 7: Kojin Building Chapter 8: Lobbyists Chapter 9: Doubts Chapter 10: Koike's Explanation Chapter 11: Confrontation From Reviews: Valuable material on Koike that doesn't appear in the media. However, the relationship between general meetings and corporate management should be explained more. When I saw a photo of Ryuichi Koike in the media before, I was surprised by his appearance, which could be called a handsome man. Looking at Koike's photo again in this book, I am surprised by his delicate and intelligent expression, which doesn't seem like that of the strongest and last sokaiya after the Commercial Code revision. It is fundamentally different from the power seen in the expressions of Kaoru Ogawa and Kotetsu Uemori, who were his mentors, who continued to negotiate with the political, governmental, financial, and underground forces with their bare hands. This is a report that delves into the real image of Ryuichi Koike, famous as a major sokaiya. It is an interesting content that depicts not only his career as a sokaiya and the case in which he was arrested, but also the world of the jungle where he was later defrauded of funds. The people involved are named, including politicians, which gives it a sense of reality.
