During the late 1970's, the Jingweon and the Tojo had gotten into a years-in length war for command over the Tokyo black market and, by 1980, the Tojo Clan was losing. Be that as it may, Dojima Family patriarch Sohei Dojima got data recommending that the Jingweon's authority would go to a gathering in the distribution center behind one of their clubs in Christmas of 1980. Taking advantage of on the lucky break, Dojima sent a detachment of professional killers drove by his two lieutenants, Shintaro Kazama and Futoshi Shimano, to take out the Jingweon's pioneers.
Kazama, hesitant to submit such a slaughter, attempted to caution the Jingweon pioneer so he would escape town before the slaughter could start. In any case, Kazuma Kiryu, Kazama's protege who hosted tailed him to the distribution center gathering, erroneously accepted that the Jingweon Boss was attempting to murder Kazama and mediated, assaulting him.

36 individuals from the Jingweon were executed in what came to be known as the "Kamurocho Christmas Massacre", including the aggregate of the Jingweon's pioneers and a significant number of their protectors. Of those present at the slaughter, just five Jingweon endure: three youthful guardians whom Kazama had compassion for and helped escape, called Daejin Kim, Yeongmin Ji and Murai; and the supervisor's significant other, Suyeon Jung, and her little youngster, who were helped by the primary cop on the scene, Jiro Kawara.
After the slaughter, the Jingweon were believed to be cleared out in Japan.

Moreover, the bombs were additionally found and defused before they could be exploded by Goro Majima and his development organization.
At the point when the Omi Alliance attack neglected to kill the Tojo, Kim made direct move and chose to kill Kiryu, Sayama and the Tojo's administration actually. He uncovered is ploy to Kiryu by appearing after his battle with Ryuji Goda on the Kamurocho Hills building site and, alongside a company of Jingweon professional killers, attempted to execute him. In any case, Kiryu and Sayama figured out how to overcome him and his powers. Kim would not long after being executed by Ryo Takashima, the head of Omi home office who had been going about as his witness however who chose to deceive him so as to take power for himself.
The mafia returned for a second time in 2016, presently drove by Joon-gi Han, who holds an individual resentment against Kiryu for what occurred in 1980.
