Port Mafia

The Port Mafia (ポートマフィア, Pōto Mafia) is an underground criminal organization run by Ōgai Mori, based in Yokohama, Japan. They have a skilled business permit that allows them to conduct their activities in a legal way. They are also known as Yokohama's "Wardens of the Night".

Influence
According to Ichiyō Higuchi, the Mafia has dozens of enterprises under their control. It also exceeds politics and as well as economics and its influence is found in many sections of Yokohama City. Those who defy them will only burn and not survive.

In the light novel Osamu Dazai’s Entrance Exam, it’s noted that the Port Mafia serves as vendors for organs, chemical weapons, and criminal personnel. They deal entirely in illegal products for underhanded organizations, and is considered the general trading company of the criminal underworld. They oversee countless shady operations and form connections with criminal organizations across the globe.

While the Mafia has vast reach, Osamu Dazai mentioned prior to acquiring a skilled business permit that the Port Mafia did not dabble in the drug industry. He further noted that the Special Division for Unusual Powers, narcotics bureau, and the military police's anti-organization surveillance committee waited for the Mafia to make such a blunder, making the drug industry more trouble than its worth.

Structure
The Port Mafia divides its power largely between its boss and his five executives, who answer solely to him and lead their own factions within the mafia. Originally, four executive positions were filled, including Dazai, Kōyō Ozaki, Chūya Nakahara, and Ace. With Dazai's defection and Ace's death, Kōyō and Chūya remain as the two surviving executives, but Mori keeps Dazai's position reserved solely for him, somehow waiting for him to return.

Kōyō leads a major interrogation unit skilled in torture. Another major faction of the Port Mafia is its guerilla attack force, led by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, having succeeded his former mentor Dazai. Working alongside him is Higuchi, who largely acts as his right hand.

The Port Mafia also has an intelligence unit, largely maintained by Ango Sakaguchi in the past.

A large number of mafiosi are low-ranked, such as Sakunosuke Oda. Such ranks deal with many lowly and menial tasks such as managing security for paying stores and settling disputes between paid allies and their interpersonal conflicts or even being used as expendable assets as what Mori stated.

Black Lizard
The Mafia has an assault group, namely Black Lizard, led by Ryūrō Hirotsu, with Gin Akutagawa and Michizō Tachihara as his secondary commanders.

Punishment
The Mafia's modus operandi for traitors is to first force them to bite the curb and then deliver the kick to the back of the head, shattering their jaw. As the victim writhes in pain, they turn the poor soul around and fire three shots in the chest.
