The police believe that the Kudo-kai orchestrated these three attacks.

The police arrested two men from the Kudo-kai group in June of 2002.

He, too, refused to work with the Kudo-kai or placate them and he, too, was shot to death just last December.

Now criminal investigators all over Japan have stepped up operations to push for the dismantling of the Kudo-kai.

In any event, for the Kudo-kai, the police arrest of their top dog is expected to have the impact of a well-thrown hand grenade.

From Kumaishi to Kudo numerous reefs extend out at sea, and small headlands afford a safe anchorage to junks.
