If your players opt for such high powered contacts make them create a
background as to why they know a Yakuza boss. One of my players did just that
and it turned out to be a reason that spawned many associated runs.

In general though if your players suggest something and it's not written in
granite within the blue/black book then don't dismiss it, listen to what they
have to say. If they only want the contact for the munchkin appeal then
tell them no but if they can come up with a good story then let them.
