The term "Yakuza" is believed to have originated from a Japanese card game called "Oicho-Kabu," where the worst possible hand is a combination of 8-9-3, pronounced "ya-ku-sa" in Japanese. Eventually, this term became associated with criminal organizations in Japan. https://image.nostr.build/018fdbadf74813db428388fc409fee5d2357609ff66acf28e3a294236a05eeec.jpg
