Black Dragon

Black Dragon was the number one gang in Tokyo during its prime. It lasted ten generations until it was taken over by the Tokyo Manji Gang.

Background
Founded by Shinichiro Sano in his youth, Black Dragon was the top delinquent gang in the Kanto region for generations. It prospered as it upheld the First Generation's ideals, until Izana Kurokawa, the Eighth Generation successor, corrupted its ranks. Shion Madarame inherited Izana's will, along with a mission to destroy Manjiro Sano. He was utterly defeated, and Black Dragon fell into ruins.

In an effort to revive the gang, Seishu Inui wanted to become the tenth generation leader and recruit Taiju Shiba as an executive, but he was defeated. As a result, Taiju became the next leader and transformed Black Dragon into a militaristic band of warriors. However, this glory was short-lived after Taiju and Black Dragon were wiped out by Manjiro Sano and Ken Ryuguji.

The remaining Black Dragon members were absorbed by the Tokyo Manji Gang, and Takemichi Hanagaki was nominated as the eleventh generation president.

Structure
The history of the Black Dragon gang is based around the notion of generations. A generation is an "era" of the gang, beginning and ending with the rise and retirement of a generational leader. Some generations are simple successions, just the same gang with a new President, while others are complete renovations from their predecessors, with different members, uniforms and even different values.
 * First Generation - The First Generation was the foundation of the Black Dragon, created with Shinichiro Sano as its head. It was a noble gang that didn't like to involve itself with dishonorable criminal activities such as drug trafficking and murder. In this generation, Takeomi Akashi was the vice president, with Wakasa Imaushi and Keizo Arashi as captains.
 * Eighth Generation - The Eighth Generation was led by Izana Kurokawa. It was during this era of the gang when it started to get corrupted, with its members engaging in needless violence. This is also the time that a young Seishu Inui would enter its ranks.
 * Ninth Generation - The Ninth Generation was led by Shion Madarame. Nothing much is known about this generation, but it was the reason the Tokyo Manji Gang was formed. It was also defeated by the latter.
 * Tenth Generation - The Tenth Generation was led by Taiju Shiba. It was a violent gang, though still holding the principles of the First Generation. In this generation, Seishu Inui and Hajime Kokonoi were both appointed as captains.
 * Eleventh Generation - The Eleventh Generation was led by Takemichi Hanagaki. Unlike the previous generations, this generation is under Tokyo Manji Gang's rule. Seishu Inui was the temporary president, making an attempt to "revive" the Black Dragons following the rules of the 1st Generation, before being changed, becoming the Vice-President of this generation.

Uniform
For the first generation, the founding members were seen wearing black biker outfits, similar to the Tokyo Manji Gang's outfit. Mikey evidently modeled Tokyo Manji Gang's uniform after it.

During the Ninth Generation, Shion Madarame and his underlings wore a white version of the uniform.

In the Tenth Generation, its members wore uniforms that mimicked military garb, befitting their fearsome image as a warmongering army.
