    A [person in charge] of some group or of some function, usually a male person. A Japanese word, often mistakenly thought to be of Spanish origin. In Japanese its a term for a small-time [yakuza] gangster in charge of just a few underlings, but [the underworld] flavor has mostly been lost as the word has been adopted into English.
