According to this link Did any Yakuza fight for Japan during WWII? on Quora, a poster said "The Yakuza in post WW2 Japan formed groups that killed US occupying soldiers that they found abusing or raping citizens. Because the Yakuza unlike the regular Japanese civilians had access to a lot of weapons". Is this historically accurate or just an anti-American fabrication?

2This question is similar to: Did any civil resistence against the allied occupation of Japan exist?. If you believe it’s different, please edit the question, make it clear how it’s different and/or how the answers on that question are not helpful for your problem.– Dan MCommented Sep 4 at 9:16

1@DanM I don't think this is a duplicate of that question. The suggested duplicate is about resistance to the occupation whereas this is about retaliation against specific abuses by the occupation forces.– Steve BirdCommented Sep 4 at 9:41

@DanM Hi, no. My question is specifically about whether the Yakuza actually had murdered some US soldiers during post-World War 2 that they found abusing or raping citizens. Is that actually happened or just unverified statements made by anti-Americans?– SnoopyKidCommented Sep 4 at 10:13
