Trivia Question: Members of the yakuza remove what parts of their bodies to make amends for failure?
Answer: Pinkies
The yakuza is essentially Japan’s version of the mafia. In Japan, people without pinkies are assumed to be failed yakuza. Since many Western cartoon characters have four fingers as an artistic flourish, those characters have to have an extra pinky drawn onto them when they’re brought to Japan so no one mistakes them for yakuza members.
