These "big guys" were probably bullies during their school years and maybe just decided toi "carry on" after leaing school ?

The cash society invites this problem, because everyone knows that anyone can be carrying at least 10.000 Yen, and if you need some money, just attack a person or two and you're set. Credit cards and personal checks like in America, leave a trail, but are safer.

Wow, that is really sad. In the USA, I was also attacked late at night, riding home on my bike from a lowly job. Don't think the guy was after my pitiful dollars though. Still haunts me.
