[5] Furthermore, on May 7, Ikeda and others attended the formation ceremony of the Keiji Union, which had split from the 6th generation Yamaguchi-gumi-affiliated Tankai-ikka, and it is believed that this group also joined the Ninkyo-dantai-Yamaguchi-gumi.
The vehicle he was riding in drove away from the scene, and Oda was not injured, but one member of the gang (44 years old at the time), who was his bodyguard, was shot and killed.
[11] On February 17, 2020, the Hyogo Prefectural Public Safety Commission announced in the official gazette that the name of the organization had been changed to Kizuna-kai.
In late February 2022, the third generation Oda Kogyo chairman, Satoshi Gondo, who was the top executive, submitted a notice of withdrawal to the Osaka Prefectural Police and was expelled from Kizuna-kai on March 2.
