description: "Tadamasa Goto  was a Japanese yakuza. He was the founding head of the Goto-gumi, a Fujinomiya-based affiliate of Japan's largest yakuza syndicate, the Yamaguchi-gumi. Goto, who had been convicted at least nine times, was a prominent yakuza and at one point the most powerful crime boss in Tokyo, even being dubbed the \"John Gotti of Japan\". Goto was once claimed to have been the largest shareholder in Japan Airlines, but this was disputed by stock exchange filings."
