The Dojima Family are the major antagonists of the Yakuza Saga in the Like a Dragon (Ryū ga Gotoku, formerly known as Yakuza in the west) franchise, specifically serving as the main antagonists of Yakuza 0 and supporting antagonists in Yakuza and its remake Yakuza Kiwami.
They are a subsidiary of the Tojo Clan, the largest yakuza organization in the Kanto region and second largest in Japan founded by Sohei Dojima, a cruel and ruthless yakuza patriarch. It was the most powerful factor in the Tojo Clan during the 1980s, but their power began to drastically crumble, which led to their eventual disbandment.
Biography[]
The Dojima Family are known for their brutality, such as the infamous Jingweon Massacre that happened on Christmas night of 1980, ordered by Sohei Dojima and carried out by Futoshi Shimano and Shintaro Kazama, although the latter of which was very reluctant to do so. Dojima and Kazama were also behind a terrible raid on Elder Chen's Chinese mafia which caused many women and children to die in the crossfire, which causes Chen to distrust the yakuza and his Chinese immigration population to move to a ghetto known as Little Asia.
During the events of Yakuza 0, the Dojima Family play a major role in the scramble to gain the Empty Lot. Namely, the family's three lieutenants, Daisaku Kuze, Hiroki Awano and Keiji Shibusawa, race against each other to get the lot as their patriarch Sohei promises that whoever brings him the Empty Lot will be promoted to captain after the previous one, Kazama, was arrested after the police had found out he had been running an illegal gambling house. Out of the lieutenants Shibusawa ended up coming on top as he brough Makoto Makimura, the owner of the Empty Lot, to Dojima. However Dojima would not gain ownership of the lot as Masaru Sera, president of the Tojo Clan's Nikkyo Consortium, would conspire with Goro Majima and then gained ownership of the Lot after working with Makimura herself.
After Sera gains ownership of the lot, he becomes the captain of the Tojo Clan, and eventually its Third Chairman. Having had his plans thwarted, Dojima and his family's power begins to crumble. Likely out of spite towards Kazama, Dojima kidnaps his adoptive daughter Yumi Sawamura and attempts to force himself on her, but he is stopped when Akira Nishikiyama shoots him dead, which Nishiki's oath brother Kazuma Kiryu takes the fall for. After Dojima's death, many of the Dojima Family members are transferred to Shintaro Kazama's Kazama Family.
