When Kazuki became the leader, he bought a casino to increase the Yakuza's standing in Liberty City. Overtime, the casino was successful and it provided the Yakuza with enough money to increase their operations.
Weakening[]
Toshiko felt neglected by her husband and decided to weaken his empire. She hired Toni Cipriani to steal the Yakuza's shipment of arms and deliver it to Phil Cassidy. Toshiko also hired Toni to destroy three vans that contained some of the Yakuza's money before they reached Kazuki's casino.
