With an understanding of Yokohama Port’s history, when it came to gambling, Fujiki vowed he would never allow the activity to legally return to the port. From war to dealings with yakuza to becoming the “Don of Hama,” this is the story of Yukio Fujiki’s no-holds-barred battle for his convictions and a fight for his beloved Yokohama Port.
