On the Yakuza Beat: A Foreign Reporter in Japan’s Underworld

Investigative journalist Jake Adelstein exposed a scandal involving one of Japan’s most ruthless yakuza dons and lived to tell the tale. On June 18, 2025 at The Mob Museum, Adelstein discussed his journey from rural Missouri to covering the police beat for Japan’s biggest newspaper, a tale that inspired a popular HBO series. Adelstein gained the trust of both police detectives and mobsters to bring to light stories of government corruption, human trafficking and double-dealing yakuza bosses.
