What Syndicate is the movie "A Family" (2021) loosely based on?
Main Post:
American here. Somewhat of an expert on international organized crime so I don't need an entire Yakuza history, but I couldn't find any information relative to this movie. Hoping someone can help me out. I just watched the movie "A Family" on Netflix yesterday. Also called "Yakuza and the Family" apparently. I was told this movie is loosely based on a specific syndicate that's now defunct and was curious if anyone knew what specific group?
Obviously it's not about any of the major 4 that are still active. Yamaguchi, Sumiyoshi, Inagawa and Kobe...At least I don't think.
Thanks!

That's a literal translation of the Japanese title.

Who told you this? After a quick search I'm not finding anyone claiming that.
