Kazuo Nakanishi

Kazuo Nakanishi

Kazuo Nakanishi (中西 一男 "Nakanishi Kazuo"; October 25, 1922September 1, 2003) was briefly the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi yakuza syndicate in the chaotic years of the Yama-Ichi War. He was also the founder and 1st "kumicho" of the Nakanishi-gumi.

Nakanishi accepted the temporary leadership position after the assassination of Masahisa Takenaka, but was never considered an official "kumicho" (supreme Godfather) of the Kobe-based gang, despite heading it from 1985-1989. In 1989, Yoshinori Watanabe was elected as fifth "kumicho".

After Watanabe's accession, Nakanishi continued to work for the gang as a senior advisor and leader of 15 sub-gangs in Osaka. He died in September 2003.
