Uyoku Article

Postby neotheo » Sat Jun 24, 2006 11:53 am

Guys,

I am desperately trying to find an article I read online before about Uyoku. Basically, the f**ked gaijin author spends a day with an uyoku group as they go around in their black sound trucks, and interviews their leaders, has bentos with them etc. etc.

Does anyone remember this article, and know where I can find it?

Thanks,

Theo

I don't think this is the one you are thinking about, but you'll enjoy this story by our own Captain Japan regardless:

Very interesting, thanks for the link :D

By the way, what is that image on his arm patch? Is that like the Japanese version of the swastika?
Never seen it before other than with Taiko, but that one has three arms.

The crest you have is actually wrong. I have no idea what the four zygote s circling nothing is supposed to represent, but it is a pretty accurate account of their typical activities.:p

The circling commas thingie is a fairly common "mon." You can see it here in the lower right corner.

I have seen this logo in my classical Japanese dictionary, which has a section on mon, I could find out what family it is associated with and what it originally meant, IF my dictionary wasn't packed up in storage.

I think it might have been by Velisarios Kattoulas who has written some decent articles on the uyoku, yakuza, and bosozoku for the Far Eastern Economic Review.

This is also an interesting article about uyoku trying to intimidate a gaijin radio show host:

My wife Keiko and I host a weekly talk show on local radio in Western Tokyo that tries to take a jaundiced, opinionated approach to the clash of East versus West. Just before Christmas 2000 we talked briefly about a trip we had made a year earlier to Nanjing[i] in China, the site of a notorious massacre by the Japanese imperial army at the end of 1937. Walking through the museum in Nanjing that commemorates the incident, reading the testimony of hundreds of Chinese and non-Chinese survivors, looking at countless photographs of corpses and indeed their bones, some of which lie beneath the museum site, it's impossible to deny what happened. And we said so, adding that those who do should pay a visit there themselves.

Thirty minutes after the show was broadcast, three members of a local "political group" arrived at the studio and asked to see the management.

The article is from Tokyo Journal. It was sitting on their page for years but it seems to have been taken down. Send me a PM and I'll see if I can get you a copy.
