In the world of Kaiji, Teiai Corporation is a criminal organization that appears to be above the law. Facading as a financial consulting firm, it actually engages in loan sharking and payday loans, using these debts to force individuals into participating in their gambling events or sending them to underground labor camps.

But what drives this organization's actions? According to Takashi Muraoka, another significant source of income for Teiai comes from criminal protection services. As a major player in the underground economy, Teiai is responsible for covering up multiple illegal and tax-evading businesses with hefty fees. This allows them to operate with impunity, practicing slavery and other illegal activities without fear of reprisal.

The Blacksuits are the main workforce behind Teiai Corporation, featuring throughout the series as background characters who take on an antagonistic role when ordered to. With their black suits, they are nearly unbeatable, as people tend not to fight back due to the sheer number and coordination of these operatives. The Blacksuits lack remorse or emotion towards those marked by Teiai or their superiors, but occasionally show concern for their leaders when they get into trouble.

In this article, we will delve deeper into the mysterious motivation behind Teiai's actions, as well as the unbeatable power of the Blacksuits and how it has impacted the world of Kaiji.
