Steel Dragons

Steel Dragons (鋼鉄の竜) are Japanese gang founded by Yorinobu Arasaka's consisting of Tokyo Nomads, who opposed Arasaka for their vile corporate operations. The Steel Dragons are a bōsōzoku gang that has grown and spread to Night City.

History
The original leader and founder of the Steel Dragons was Yorinobu Arasaka, second son of corporate giant Saburo Arasaka. On his 21st birthday, Yorinobu's father told him about the secrets and goals of the Arasaka corporation, which left Yorinobu shocked, viewing his father's aspirations as foolish and cold.. Hating his role and his father, he wanted to prevent his father's corporation from continuing to grow further, and left home to escape his fathers tyranny. Over several months, Yorinobu gathered a mass of tough Tokyo nomads to form Kōtetsu no Ryū, the Steel Dragons.

Together, they have sworn to expose and destroy Arasaka. At night they prowl the streets of the Tokyo, harassing Arasaka men and unearthing information on Arasaka black operations. Yorinobu's knowledge of Arasaka facilities and corporate procedures gives the Steel Dragons some advantages, but they lacked the power or information to make serious headway against the corporation in 2020. Yorinobu was able to tread the world of the street and the corporate tower with equal facility. However, he didn't spend his time just riding with his men, he is traveled the world, meeting with other enemies of Arasaka, looking for funds and equipment. Slowly but surely, the Steel Dragons operation had grown to a powerful gang organization.
