The Komata-kai is a Yakuza syndicate based in the city of Metropole in Amazonia.
The Komata-kai is the only Yakuza syndicate in Amazonia and the whole country is it's territory. It's a traditionalist Old School syndicate, which is a member of the Watada-rengo. The syndicate's base in Sao Paulo (within Metropole) has a large Japanese ex-pat population that live in a cultural ghetto created by the Japancorps, which is a traditionalist mindset.[1]
It's involved in providing the Japanese ex-pats with illicit services (gambling, prostitution, and BTL chips from Japan). They supply the Yakuza in Japan with Amazonian firearms, metahuman and sapient critters for prostitution (whom have been tricked into the business), and Awakened drugs.[1] It also a joint-venture with Comando Verde in which they run an underground martial arts circuit.[2]
Members are looked at as "hoodlums" by expats due to not being like the Yakuza back in Japan. They are often overly aggressive, brash, intoxicated on the job, and loud.[1]
