Id/Iff: Hogosha all the way.
Know throughout the centuries by many names, the Hogosha Association has been an confederation ran by collectives of criminal syndicates in Kusari to coordinate strengths and goals of the otherwise minor forces of the Hogosha.
The Association naturally faded into obscurity many times in Kusari history, when a prominent Syndicate achieved hegemony and ruled over all other smaller Kusarian families.
In the late 820 A.S., the waning of the last great syndicate in Kusari, the Black Dragon Syndicate, from his seat of power, a power vacuum was formed within the Hogosha. Combined the rise of old threats in the borders, an uncertainty loomed over the fate of the old institution, which maintained control over the house black market for centuries.
To its fortune however, several interest groups from such diverse areas like influential businessmen and high ranking personnel from Kusari intelligence services, have provided their support and with that a chance to turn the tide. With a new wealth of contacts and logistical backup, several syndicates began building a network throughout Kusari, uniting operations and syndicates under their common interests.
With the alliance of the Takarabune Company, an emerging group from Shikoku, with The Silvereye Dragons, a respected syndicate from New Tokyo, a new leadership of the Hogosha began to emerge. Concerned with the potential power struggles within the new alliance, the Aikokusha syndicate passed the knowledge of the old Hogosha Association to the leaders of the new alliance.
The syndicates convened amongst themselves, and made the decision to raise again the confederate Hogosha Association to protect their interests and to enforce the influence of the Hogosha in and outside of Kusari.
---------
With time, the Association has progressed, with some of the old syndicates retiring and new ones rising up to take their place or few market niches.
In its current form, the Hogosha Association is under the influence of the longstanding Silvereye Dragons.

About the Faction: While the concept of a generalist big Hogosha faction has been established by the founding group, many of the finer details are continuously being ironed out. We hope that most of the issues become resolved around the time the faction starts playing its role.
We reserve the right to make changes to the faction as real life and community circumstances demand.
After months of extensive viability tests and activity performance, the Association has gathered the required funds and courage to venture into the real of Official factions. Please support our efforts from now on.
