The Gaijin Reporter Who Infiltrated Tokyo's Criminal Underworld
When a yakuza enforcer threatens to "erase you and maybe your family," most people would back down. For Jake Adelstein, it was just another occupational hazard. As the first American journalist to work the crime beat for Japan's largest newspaper, Adelstein's journey took him from idealistic rookie to hardened investigator who stared down Japan's most feared gangster. His investigation into how Tadamasa Goto-a blacklisted yakuza boss-managed to enter America and receive a liver transplant put him directly in the crosshairs of Japan's criminal elite. What makes this story so compelling isn't just the danger he faced, but how his journey transformed him. As he later reflected: "I fought poison with poison and probably poisoned myself in the process, but that was the only way to do it."
