Jake Adelstein: Investigative journalist and author on his career and the Japanese Yakuza


Listen Later

Prolific author and former investigative journalist Jake Adelstein has quite an extensive knowledge of the Yakuza. 

He was a reporter for the Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan’s largest newspaper, between 1993 and 2005, and from 2006 to 2007 he was the chief investigator for a US State Department-sponsored investigation into human trafficking in Japan.  

He’s written for outfits such as the Independent and The Guardian, as well as writing three books: ‘Tokyo Vice: a Western Reporter on the beat in Japan’, ‘The Last Yakuza: Life and Death in the Japanese Underworld’, and ‘Tokyo Noir’. 

‘Tokyo Noir’ is his latest, covering his life post-journalism as well as some details of Japan’s criminal underworld. 

He joined Kerre Woodham to discuss his life, career, and extensive knowledge of the Yakuza.
