Black Dragon

Black Dragon is a Tokyo motorcycle gang that has been actively ruling Japan for generations. In line with the 10th Generation's defeat in a battle against the Tokyo Manji Gang, Black Dragon became a Toman affiliate under the First Division. Its affiliation with Toman would later on serve as an avenue for Takemichi Hanagaki to establish the 11th Generation with Seishu Inui as his right-hand man.

With Toman's dissolvement, Black Dragon continued its rule independently. It is currently active with the reign of the last and 11th generation under Takemichi's command.

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 virtuous ideals until its Eighth Generation successor, Izana Kurokawa, corrupted its ranks and demolished the First Generation's good faith and morale. Shion Madarame soon inherited Izana's will with the rise of the Ninth Generation and pursued his mission to destroy Manjiro Sano. He was defeated, and Black Dragon fell into ruins.

In an effort to revive the gang, Seishu Inui initially pronounced himself as the 10th Generation founder and later on recruited Taiju Shiba to become its leader. Consequently, Black Dragon was reformed into a militaristic band of warriors until it was wiped out by the Tokyo Manji Gang. Its members assembled in Toman's First Division under the command of Takemichi Hanagaki, who later became the president and founder of the 11th Generation.

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. Little is known about this generation, but it was the reason the Tokyo Manji Gang was formed. It was also defeated by the latter.
 * 10th Generation - The 10th 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.
 * 11th Generation - The 11th Generation was led by Takemichi Hanagaki. Unlike the previous generations, the 11th Generation was under the Tokyo Manji Gang's rule up until the latter's unprecedented disbandment. Seishu Inui was its temporary leader, who attempted to revive the gang and revert it to its original state of righteousness and integrity, but later on became its Vice-Leader when Takemichi pronounced himself as its last successor.

Uniform
The First Generation founding members were most often seen wearing black biker outfits similar to the Tokyo Manji Gang's uniform. During the Ninth Generation's rule, Shion Madarame and his underlings wore a white version. Its refashioned design was eventually remodeled once more in the 10th Generation, with Taiju Shiba at its helm, as its members wore uniforms that mimicked military garb, befitting their fearsome image as a warmongering army.
