Black Dragon

Black Dragon was the number one gang in the Tokyo during its prime. It lasted 11 generations until it was absorbed by a stronger gang.

Background
Founded by Shinichiro Sano in his youth, it was the top deliquent gang in the Kanto region for generations.

Black Dragon continued to prosper while upholding the first generation's ideals, until Izana Kurokawa, the eighth generation president, spat on them and corrupted Black Dragon into a depraved gang. 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 two people.

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

Generations
The history of the Black Dragon gang is based around the notion of generations. Basically, a generation is an "era" of the gang, beginning and ending with the rise and retirement of a President. 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.

1st 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.



8th Generation
The 8th 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.

10th Generation
The 10th Generation was led by Taiju Shiba. It was a violent gang, although still holding the principles of the First Generation's goal. In this generation, Seishu Inui and Hajime Kokonoi were both appointed as captains.

Uniform
For the first generation, the founding members were seen wearing biker outfits, similarly to Toman's outfit.
