Wikipedia definition
2. Sarakinis a Japanese term for a legal moneylender who makes unsecured loans at high interest. It is a contraction of the Japanese words for salaryman and loan (kin'yu). An illegal loan shark who goes above legally permitted maximum interest rates is called Yamikin, short for Dark Finance (Yami Kinyu), and many of them lend at 10% for 10 days. Around 14 million people, or 10% of the Japanese population, have borrowed from a sarakin.
