From the location and his attire id suggest it was Yakuza, probably from Nishinari area.

There's a lot of missing details here. I don't think it was a suicide because the guy's legs were taped. Yakuza related? Hard to tell because the was wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants. Very hard to tell. My guess, foul play.
