Ninkyo Hajime (Beginning of Chivalry) by Hideo Mizoshita and Manabu Miyazaki. The 4th generation president of the Kudo-kai, Hideo Mizoshita, and Manabu Miyazaki engage in a lively discussion! A dialogue book that passionately discusses everything from the principles of the yakuza to the police state, organizational theory, and the "Kawasuji-mon" (riverbank people). Contents: The 4th generation president of the Kudo-kai, Hideo Mizoshita, and the man with the fox eyes, Manabu Miyazaki, engage in a lively discussion! A no-holds-barred, intense dialogue book that passionately discusses everything from the principles of the yakuza to the police state, the organizational theory of the "toppasha" (breakthrough individuals), and the organizational theory of the "Kawasuji-mon." Table of Contents: Part 1: The Principles of the Yakuza (The Origins of Kyushu Yakuza; Mediation Depends on the Mediator's Strength; Learn from How Yakuza Use Money; Gambling Destroys Organizations, etc.) Part 2: The Police State - Exposing the Darkness Filled with Corruption and Deception (The Battle over the Anti-Organized Crime Law; The Reasons Why They Quit Sports; Gambling Den Raids with Death as a Consideration; Correcting Police Tyranny, etc.) Part 3: The Organizational Theory of Breakthrough Individuals, the Organizational Theory of Kawasuji-mon (My Organization is About Doing What I Want; It's a Time When We're Also Getting Involved in the Digital World; The Iron Chains of Ninkyo-do (Chivalry); The Spirit of Teasing, etc.) From Reviews: I highly recommend this book to those who frown upon chivalry. It's a truly "unvarnished" and genuine dialogue between President Mizoshita of a large organization and Mr. Miyazaki, an author whose father was the head of a chivalrous organization. I was moved to tears by President Mizoshita's humorous yet deeply personal stories of hardship that we can't even imagine. It's truly a shame that he passed away at a young age... Anyway, please read it. Your perspective will definitely change. This is a collection of dialogues between the former president of the Kudo-kai, Hideo Mizoshita (deceased), based in Kitakyushu, which is currently the subject of various rumors, and Manabu Miyazaki. Mizoshita's chivalry shines through. Mizoshita was abandoned by his mother as a child and raised his younger sister alone. When he heard that his mother was nearing the end of her life, he went to see her after more than 40 years and invited her to his home, where she passed away shortly after. "But, because my mother abandoned me, I think I became strong," Mizoshita's words are truly inspiring.
