The Gourmet Yakuza is an organization much hated by the constitutional countries, seemingly made up completely of orphans and slum dogs from the crime slum Nerg, a non-IGO affiliated city. 10% of the prisoners in Gourmet Prison come from this city, giving it the nickname "Criminal-Producing Factory." The Yakuza, seemingly altruistic, are told by the Boss upon joining to repay their debt not to him, but to the "hungry children of the slums." The previous boss was Ryu, with Match now replacing him.

History

Background

For many years, the Gourmet Yakuza has been in control of Nerg City while under the leadership of their boss Ryu, but despite their criminal activity, the yakuza aids the poverty stricken denizens of the city and make sure that no narcotic ingredients circulate amongst innocent civilians. They also take in orphaned children into their organization and treat them like family, which is how Match came to join the yakuza. The yakuza also greatly cares for their poverty-stricken and lawless kingdom and because of this they themselves are the closest thing to law enforcement that exists in a kingdom of criminals. Because of their more noble morals and ideals, they often came into conflict with the Underground Cooking World which did whatever it please so long as it made them a profit, regardless of how much damage it caused to the innocents of the kingdom.

Meteor Garlic Arc

Sometime after Match's return from Ice Hell, the Gourmet Yakuza boss, Ryu stepped down and allowed Match to be the new Yakuza Boss. When Match met up with Toriko and the others, he told them that Ryu had said that he had a larger job to complete in the Gourmet World, and took with him several other Yakuza members. In truth, Ryu was invited by the "Saiseiya" Yosaku to join the 0th Biotope, and had no intention of coming back to the yakuza.

When Toriko and Coco of the Four Heavenly Kings went in search of a Meteor Garlic, hoping to find one within the Gourmet Casino in the Jidar Kingdom, they joined forces with Match and his Gourmet Yakuza in hopes that they could succeed at winning the jackpot at the casino and getting the chance to take on the Underworld Boss, Livebearer in hopes of winning the Meteor Garlic from him. The group eventually managed to face off with Livebearer in a game of Food Concentration in which the Heavenly Kings and yakuza were able to come out victorious, however Livebearer refused to give in to defeat and sent his minions to kill the group, causing an all out gunfight between the yakuza and the Underworld. In the end the yakuza came out victorious and the Heavenly Kings successfully defeated Livebearer and forced him to accept their victory.

With Livebearer subdued, they acquired the Meteor Garlic he had in his possession, which they had Komatsu prepare with the aid of Livebearer's Taste Data. During the cooking process, Livebearer took notice of Komatsu's great and passionate cooking skills, causing the Underworld Boss to remember a time when he to was a struggling chef who once cared for ingredients and feeding others. With the Meteor Garlic successfully prepared and enjoyed by the group, Livebearer realized that it was time for him to change and so he retired from his position as boss, handing it over the Gourmet Yakuza Boss, Match, thus bringing together both organizations which would then work together to form a new and proper government which would work towards making Jidar into a vibrant and prosperous kingdom.
