The Kanto Rengo also known as Kanto Union is a Bosozoku that used to be active in Tokyo, Japan. The group, which was mainly composed of Black Emperor the bosozoku, temporarily dissolved in 2003, but was later revived by several bosozoku in Tokyo in some year, and through various violent incidents, became known as the most powerful bosozoku in Japan.
Biography edit
Kanto Rengo was formed in 1973 by bosozoku in Tokyo's Setagaya and Suginami wards, and although it was dissolved in 2003, but was reformed as Kanto Rengo OB in the same year. It is the most powerful of the bosozoku in Shibuya, Roppongi, Nishi-Azabu, and Shinjuku, and is seen as a force that has emerged to replace the Yakuza, whose sphere of influence had shrunk at the urging of the government. In the 1990s, the union was one of the largest organizations in terms of connections, through its war against the then prevalent teamer in Tokyo, its growing influence in Roppongi, its interactions with businessmen, and its activities as a fraudulent group. At this point, the Kanto Rengo had established itself as a group that controlled multiple businesses in Tokyo, but there was still no clear organizational chart.
The union became widely known after the attack on Ichikawa Ebizo XI in 2010. After this incident, the police started to take action against Kanto Rengo, and the scale of Kanto Rengo gradually decreased. And in 2012, the union's members mistakenly attacked and killed a male guest at a club in Roppongi, which effectively led to the dissolution of "Kanto Rengo".
