-'''The Zaibatsu Corporation''' are a organized crime syndicate in the game [[Grand Theft Auto 2]]. They appear the most in the game, as they are seen in all three areas. They wind up fighting with all the gangs in GTA 2, which include the [[Yakuza]], the [[Rednecks]], the [[Scientists]], the [[Loonies]], the [[Hare Krishna]], and the [[Russian Mafia]]. They seem to be the most powerful unit of crime in Grand Theft Auto 2. All three heads of the Zaibatsu corporation refer to [[Claude Speed| Claude]] as "Gecko".

+'''The Zaibatsu Corporation''' are an organized crime syndicate in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]]. They hide behind the guise of a pharmaceutical company, and their website describes them as "the world's last major privately owned corporation". They appear frequently throughout the entire game, as their presence can be seen and felt in all three districts of [[Anywhere City]]. They became embroiled into a violent struggle over control of business interests and gang territories with all other gangs in Anywhere City during the period of which Grand Theft Auto 2 is set in.

+The following gangs that contests the control by the Zaibatsu Corporation are: [[Yakuza]], the [[Rednecks]], the [[Scientists]], the [[Loonies]], the [[Hare Krishna]], and the [[Russian Mafia]]. They were presumed to be the most powerful criminal organization of all in Anywhere City during the time of Grand Theft Auto 2. The top-ranking leaders of the Zaibatsu Corporation frequently refer to [[Claude Speed]] by the nickname they gave him, "Gecko". In the [[GTA 2: The Movie|film/movie rendition of Grand Theft Auto 2]], Claude is shot dead by Zaibatsu assassins sent to avenge for his theft of Zaibatsu merchandise.
+The Zaibatsu Corporation still exists in the [[3D Universe]], selling prescription medicines such as [[Equanox]].
+== Products of Zaibatsu ==

+* [[Zoom Zoom]] - Energy stimulant.
+* Silky Milky - Breast implants that "feel and taste like the real thing".
+* Doesn't Need Anything (DNA) - Baby food.
+* Hush - Self-reliant sedative.

+Zaibatsu owns the electrical power stations in Anywhere City.
+== Trivia ==
+* "Zaibatsu" is a Japanese business term, referring to business conglomerates in the Japanese Empire, that have major influence over the country's economy.
+* The [[Maibatsu Corporation]] is likely a nod to the Zaibatsu Corporation. In real life, Mitsubishi was one of Japan's original "Big Four" Zaibatsus and is among the influences of the in-game Maibastsu parody.
+* The Z radar icon for [[Zhou Ming]] could also pay homage to the Zaibatsu Corporation.
