Considering these numerous designations, it would make sense to me that there are three possibilities for the organizational structure. The one in line with the "co-leader" theory is that Kenji and Asuka are jointly in charge of a larger organization's operations within Liberty City, and being "co-leaders", ''both'' hold the title of ''wakagashira'', as the term can be applied to more than one person. However, in [[Waka-Gashira Wipeout]], Donald Love specifically uses a definite article to refer to Kenji's title: "I want you to kill ''the'' Yakuza Waka-Gashira, Kenji Kasen." I would believe that that wording would not exist if others held the title of ''wakagashira'', as then Kenji would be ''a'' ''wakagashira'', not ''the'' ''wakagashira''. As such, I am discounting that theory. | Considering these numerous designations, it would make sense to me that there are three possibilities for the organizational structure.

The two remaining possibilities, therefore, are a) that Kenji is the 'wakagashira'' subordinate to unknown persons outside of Liberty City, and Asuka is therefore subordinate to him as well; or b) that Kenji is the ''wakagashira'' subordinate to Asuka. Neither of these possibilities leave the option for "co-leadership" open. | The two remaining possibilities, therefore, are a) that Kenji is the ''wakagashira'' subordinate to unknown persons outside of Liberty City, and Asuka is therefore subordinate to him as well; or b) that Kenji is the ''wakagashira'' subordinate to Asuka.

So again, I'm wondering if there's any release from Rockstar indicating "co-leadership" of the Yakuza. If so, I'll put it down to an error on their part (or my own misunderstanding somewhere). But otherwise, I think we need to ditch the "co-leader" designation we've used for Kanji and Asuka on Yakuza-related pages. <span style="white-space:nowrap;"><span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">〆</span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';position:relative;bottom:0.4em;font-size:x-small;">''[[User:Michael von Preußen|<span style="color:#B40000;">vonPreußen</span>]]''</span><span style="margin:0 -0.5em 0 -0.3em;color:#000;">'''/'''</span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';position:relative;bottom:-0.25em;font-size:x-small;">''[[User talk:Michael von Preußen|<span style="color:#1A1A1A;">talk</span>]]''</span></span> | So again, I'm wondering if there's any release from Rockstar indicating "co-leadership" of the Yakuza.
