The Only Female Yakuza: The Mako Nishimura Story #history

Mako Nishimura made history as the only officially recognized female member of the Japanese Yakuza. Breaking into an all-male criminal underworld through sheer force and toughness, she lived as a gangster for over 30 years; even performing the infamous yubitsume (finger-cutting ritual) and assisting others. Today, Mako has left her criminal past behind. She works in demolition and dedicates her life to helping former criminals rehabilitate and reintegrate into society. #MakoNishimura #Yakuza #TrueStory #JapanUnderworld #MafiaHistory #Redemption #Documentary #Shorts #Rehabilitation #JapaneseHistory
