The Kuroshakai trilogy (黒社会三部作, Kuro-shakai Sanbusaku), also known as the Black Society trilogy, is a series of films directed by Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike involving Chinese triads and Japanese yakuza.
The series includes three separate films without storyline crossovers, and were each released two years apart between 1995 and 1999. Tomorowo Taguchi plays a prominent role in all three of the films, albeit as a different character in each.
The term kuro-shakai is a Japanese word literally meaning "black society" or underworld.
