Toyama Group

"'This country is a battleground in the shadows, and we will be the victors. It is all about the money.' — 4th Kumichō Mushanokoji Kaneda"The Fifth Toyama Group (Japanese: 五代目富山組, Go-daime Toyama-gumi) is one of the most powerful yakuza organizations in the Kue'sahn Ministrate and is composed of a miscellany of different families and clans working underneath the Toyama Commission and the current head of the organization, Namiji Odawara of the Odawara Family. Originally founded by the legendary Nobuyori Toyama as a series of anti-government cells to resist the monopolization of the free market by the Aoki Consortium — and becoming one of the hundreds of groups to fight in the Kue'sahn Revolution — the organization grew to its criminal state through a general "blind-eye" policy given to it by the democratic Kue'sahn government and underground wars with rival criminal syndicates.

Consisting of millions of members across the Ministrate, the Toyama Group constantly feuds with various enemy factions, including its arch-rival, the grand Suyama Alliance, and the government's special law enforcement division known as the Special Police Detachment 103. With control over three prestigious corporations in the country and with alliances with other like-minded groups such as the Wakayoshi Clan, Kawazoi Clan, and the Tamon Alliance, it exercises influence over both domestic and international affairs relating to profits.

The Toyama Group has been exposed by the SPD #103 to have links to the Menschlicher Sternenstaat government, with communications being intercepted between high ranking members of the Toyama-gumi and contacts in the Zentrale Sicherheitsbüro, which is the intelligence wing of the Sternenstaat paramilitary known as the Staatsschutz''. ''However, the uncovering of this information has been blanketed by the intervention of politicians after the country's recent entry into the Interstellar Compact of Collective Human Harmony, to lessen the risk of an explicit Sternenstaat response to their exposed operations and possible conflict.

Involved in a miscellany of crimes and activities both domestic and abroad, most executive decisions for the group are decided from Toyama Castle on the world of Yarano. However, the group's influence extends beyond the world throughout the Kue'sahn Ministrate (and more, with traces of activity in human nations throughout the Milky Way) in an effort to find profits beyond their crowded native country. Some efforts, such as the Toyama missions to breach the underworld markets of Olimpiada, have been met with horrible consequences despite Compact relations.

The current head of the Toyama Group, kumichō Namiji Odawara, has made it well known within the Commission that he seeks expansion of influence both within and outside of the country, with possible approach to the Sternenstaat government for assistance.
