"The Shotozumi-rengo is a Yakuza syndicate based in Seattle in the UCAS.
Overview
The Shotozumi-rengo was formed out of the betrayal of the Watada-rengo by oyabun Hanzo Shotozumi in the 2060s,[1][2] in an event known as the Shotozumi Uprising. He broke away from Watada-rengo because of the way Oyabun Watada had been treating its members.
Shotozumi-sama has proven to be a very persuasive leader whom displays extensive shows of support for other members, and encourages them to follow his example. Which has led to a web of obligation and a spirit of cooperation among the members of the rengo.[3] Three of its members are based in Seattle, which are; Shotozumi-gumi, Kenran-kai, and Shigeda-gumi.[4]
Also referred to as the Shotozumi-gumi, they are of the "Old School" and are very conservative.[4]

Prior to the release of the Underworld Sourcebook in 1997, Hanzo Shotozumi is listed as the oyabun of the Dungeness Crabs, in the Seattle Sourcebook and Elven Fire [6][7]. The Dungeness Crabs are listed in the Seattle Sourcebook as the sprawl's leading yakuza clan.
Dungeness Crabs
The Dungeness Crabs receive mentions in the Shadowrun timeline, with a 2010 entry:
"The Yakuza of Seattle is given official recognition as the Dungeness Crabs of the 87th Prefecture by the oyabun of the Watada-rengo in Chiba, Japan. This approval of and support for their activities allows the Seattle Yakuza to grow rapidly and expand its operations."
After the Underworld Sourcebook, there are no more mentions of the Dungeness Crabs, instead Hanzo Shotozumi is listed as the oyabun of the Shotozumi-gumi. There are no further mentions of the "Dungeness Crabs".
87th Prefecture
Japan of the Fifth World only has 47 prefectures, and in 2010 (prior to the Sixth World), had not yet invaded the Philippines (although Japanese military aid was provided to corporate interests in the Philippines, it was not yet declared a Japanese prefecture until 2022).
