Are Tokyo Vice's Yakuza Gangs Real? Tozawa And Chihara-Kai Explained
The immersive reality of Tokyo Vice might lead audiences to question whether the Yakuza gangs, including Tozawa and Chihara-Kai, are real or if they're made up for the show. Tokyo Vice is based on the memoir by journalist Jake Adelstein, which covered his time working for the biggest newspaper in the world, reporting on the police beat in the '90s. During that time, Adelstein, played by Ansel Elgort in the show, got deeply involved in investigating the criminal underworld, which was run by the Yakuza, an organized crime syndicate operating in Tokyo and throughout Japan.
