The mayor of Nagasaki city in Japan made popular by the role it played Nuclear weapon development & Global Psychological Warfare suffered serious injuries in the last 24 hours when he was shot twice by Tetsuya Shiroo a 59 year old member of the Suishin Kai branch of the Yamaguchi Gumi.

A very well known and feared Yakuza clan.

as seen in movies like Kill Bill and Kill Bill (2).
Itcho Ito had campaiging for re-election on an anti-yakuza platform; all types of yakuza, suishin kai, yamaguchi gumi, non-yamaguchi gumi. This would have been at root, branch and clan level. The Japanese a usually stoic and reserved people see no immediate threat to their institutions or democracy. The emperor is safe.

The Yakuza normally only chop your finger off or to be more precise each others fingers off.

Ireland has on any one day literally hundreds of our students, diasporia, tourists and commercial travelers in Japan. We're very popular there. They love us. It's the sense of humour. But you wouldn't find many an Irish person in Nagasaki. It's mysterious how we know where to go and where to keep our little snouts out of.
