Hogushi Kaikan was a massage parlor located in Soemoncho South, Dotonbori, Osaka, Japan. It was owned by Wen Hai Lee, who employed Makoto Makimura as a massage therapist there during the 1980s. It was the site of the 14 December 1988 kidnapping of Makimura by Kijin-kai yakuza hitmen, which was ultimately foiled by Goro Majima, who had initially also been sent as a hitman. Makimura returned to working at the parlor after the resolution of the Empty Lot dispute, still working there as of 2005.
