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 to Saburo the corporate giant. On his 21st birthday Yorinobu was told about the secrets and goals of the Arasaka corporation from his father, this new information left Yorinobu shocked. He saw his fathers aspirations as foolish and cold, and left home to escape his fathers tyranny. Yorinobu hating his role and his father, he wanted to oppress his fathers corporation from continuing to grow further. Yorinobu over months gathered a mass of tough Tokyo nomads: 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 had 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.

Details
The Steel Dragons are a bōsōzoku based gang, bōsōzoku (or “speed tribes”) are motorized based gangs that roam the cities and highways of Japan. These are tightly large groups of individuals with specific ranks and titles. In the Steel Dragons a majority of it's members wear black leather and  jumpsuits, known as tokkō-fuku, which are elaborately embroidered and resemble WWII kamikaze pilot uniforms, or the uniforms of manual laborers. The embroidery many include kanji army slogans, patriotic rising sun patches, ancient Chinese characters, or even manji.

The Steel Dragons have only a single purpose in life, and that's to take down the Arasaka corporation. Often the gang can be seen riding around the streets of Tokyo harassing Arsaka employees, troops, and police. The Steel Dragons have an emphasis on using blunt weapons, katanas, knifes. The cyberware used is all about protection. The Steel Dragons have allies around the world, who are all anti-Arasaka idealist.
