So, is there any Yakuza based Animes? I was talking with my friends, and he told me that does not know about any Yakuza animes.. I was like "Shut up, there are some".. But then I realized, no, there aren't any familiar to me.
And Yakuzas are the theme which amaze me... So.. Yakuza, please. xD

Extremely Yakuza:
Kaiji
Baccano!
Gungrave
Texhnolyze

Yakuza-related:
Cowboy Bebop
Mind Game (the Yakuza initiate the story, but are quickly left behind)
Black Lagoon (more mercenaries and russian mafia, but similar)

Gokusen: Comedy about a female teacher who's the next heir to a yakuza group and has to hide this fact in order to be able to teach at a high school. Anime is good, though I recommend the manga over it.

Great Teacher Onizuka: comedy about a gangster who decides to be a high school teacher; may sound similar to Gokusen, but it's not, it's funnier yet more serious at the same time. Recommend both anime and manga.

EDIT: I forgot to add Tokyo Craz Paradise manga series, though I have to clarify that the artwork, etc., is more shoujo; the previous ones I've just recommended are shounen.

Speed Grapher has an underground group which is reminiscent of a yakuza organisation.

There isn't really any Yakuza presence in these.
