Yakuza

The Yakuza is a mafia faction operating around New Reno in 2241 and based on the remains of the pre-War Yakuza.

Background
Yakuza are known as the pre-War Japanese mafia. Nowadays, the descendants of the Yakuza are around New Reno, perpetuating the tradition of their expertise in swordplay and throwing weapons. They have no known headquarters and travel in small bands, fighting against New Reno's mobsters and scouting the Wasteland around New Reno, never succeeding in entering into the city. Following the war, the Yakuza seems to have diverted from their traditional bushido code, with many members remarking on how they would prefer dishonor through fleeing than an honorable death.

Other interactions
The Chosen One can sometimes randomly encounter Yakuza raiding parties around New Reno.
