A hikikomori has brutally attempted to murder his entire family of 5, attacking them with a kitchen knife and successfully stabbing to death his father and a 1-year-old baby girl, and seriously wounding the others, after which he burnt down the family home.
The cause of this rampage was the family cancelling his Internet access after he became massively indebted using his father’s credit card.
The incident began one night when the 30-year-old unemployed hikikomori, who lived together with his family in Aichi prefecture as a recluse, found someone had cancelled his Internet access.
He stormed through the house with a flashlight and beat his sleeping 58-year-old mother into wakefulness, demanding to know who had cancelled the contact – his father had apparently terminated his Internet access after he amassed some $30,000 in debt from buying games and other items in online auctions whilst using his father’s credit card.
Enraged, the hikikomori grabbed a knife from the kitchen and began methodically stabbing to death the 5 family members at the home, first returning to his mother’s bed where he stabbed his mother 10 times in the neck and flank, after which he turned on her 1-year-old granddaughter who was sleeping next to her, fatally stabbing her 3 times.
After this he set about the rest of his sleeping family, killing his 58-year-old father with 4 strikes to his neck and thighs, stabbing his 22-year-old younger brother 10 times in the neck and abdomen, and viciously stabbing his brother’s 27-year-old wife, the mother of the slain baby, 17 times in the face and flank. His brother’s injuries were minor, whilst those of his sister-in-law were grave.
Of his victims, only his father and the baby died. Another member of the family, a 24-year-old brother, escaped the massacre as he was away at the time.
After he had finished stabbing his family, he returned to his room, took a lighter and set fire to his futon, with the intent of burning the house to the ground.
Police discovered him nearby, standing in the rain and dripping with the blood of his victims, whilst flames poured from the windows of his burning home. He was arrested and charged with attempted murder on the spot, later elevated to murder.
Witnesses described a scene of carnage outside the burning house, with neighbours frantically trying to save his blood soaked victims.
Reportedly he had lost control on previous occasions, with no less than 9 incidences of domestic disturbance reported to police. His family reported “he’d calm down after police came.”
A neighbour described not having seen him since he graduated from school 15 years ago – “After he graduated those 15 years ago, I never set eyes on him again.”

Lets look at the family as a whole and not just the one murderous one... we got 2 ppl that own the "house" that are 58. At that age they should be able to still take care of themselves - having that in mind there is a 30 yr old living there, a 22 yr old with a 27 yr old wife and 1 yr old daughter and a 24 yr old (away at the time). I think there was something wrong way before the 30 yr old started stabbing everyone - they all should be living somewhere else >_< well at least by normal standards i guess =P
in Japan (and other collective cultures), it's not uncommon for people to continue living in their parents' homes after they've matured, even bringing in a spouse and starting a family of their own. Of course, by this point they're usually expected to assist their aging parents instead of leeching off of them.
To people wondering why the hell didn't his parents take action until it's too damn late:
Shame.
One of the factors that contribute to low crime statistics in Japan. Wait, I should be more specific: One of the factors that contribute to low REPORTED crime statistics in Japan. You may ask, "Their neighbours' gotta notice. What's the difference?" By taking action, they'll only get people around them to talk more about their failure of a son.
Also, though this may be hard to believe, the father didn't report to the authorities because he probably still loves his son. This, and maybe no one in the household anticipated that he'd resort to murder, no matter how violent their son was before.
You guys might be (Internet)psychologists, but I doubt their parents even know what 'psychology' is. "He's still my son" was probably the only thing in his head, those 15 years.
Still, I'm not saying it's the right thing to keep shut about having a son that's missing a screw in his head, but we can all try to empathize and understand why things happened the way that did. Best of all, think of this case when you confront something similar, that gives you the choice to do the right thing that may not be the best way, but still is the right thing.
TL;DR: Keep your bleeding heart sentiments to yourselves and move on, God damn it!
I think it's parents fault for pitying such a lowly piece of trash and allow him stay in their house
Lol, Japan. I bet the weaboos are in love with hikikomori too.
BURN BURN BURN BURN BURN TO THE GROUND BURN TO THE GROUND BURN BURN BURN BURN BURN TO THE GROUND BURN TO THE GROUND BURN BURN BURN BURN BURN TO THR GROUND BURN BURN BURN BURN BURN TO THE GROUND BURN TO THE GROUND
I can't believe he even attempted to murder his own little brother, this guy should be deported to iran so instead of prison, they can just hang this fucker from a tree.
He is my hero
i hope he gets raped and killed in prison someone needs to dexter his ass
I say this fucking psycho be whipped with an Ethernet cable every day in prison!
will they out law NEETs if these "things" continue?
sounds like a step in the right direction.
just sent all hikki to ashylum
this fucktard gives us shut ins a bad name
In the western world the neighbors probably wouldn't have helped them.
Best punishment for this hikki is to put a computer with Internet outside his cell. You can look but you cant touch.
inb4 blaming games for the violence
He must have watched THAT Thai movie.
$30,000 in debt they should have put their foot down long before that and made him run pizzas,flip burgers or mow lawns etc.
Did these people ever even check their credit card to see if it was being used and had strange charges?
Or at least he should have learned to crack wep/wpa it's not hard and pirated the games also not hard.
Get a life shit! Oh wait, he's gonna live his life in prison now!
>pays for games
a sign of mental illness
As the old saying goes "The internet is serious business.".
What I wanna know is how the others survived.
So this dude've got death penality?
smh this is why you kick your kid out of your house after he's graduate high school/college
The mother of the dead child shall be out for vengeance, I hope.
Is this a true hikikomori doing this? I though they would be too withdrawn to do that...
just f**king die, heartless pig
I'm kinda surprised that only two family members died despite the son going batshit on his whole family.
Freaky Hikki
You all curse this guy, but think for a moment what would you do if your parents canceled your internet access...
I am a NEET and hikikomori -I only go out once a month- and If my internet was cut with all my pain I would have to find work -can't live with out internet-.
This guy was fucking crazy he should of been arrested for the prior incidents.
what a fucking dumbass he dont need to go that far he should just find a job.
killing his parents well that's practically suicide for a hikikomori
While most Hikikomoris are passive, some are outright batsh*t insane when it comes to their internet....
The only way to vanquish that murderously insane Hikikomori is to burn all of the things he loves...Anime figures, body pillow, eroge/romance games, Voc@loid CD's and memorabilia and the most important thing of all...
His blanket...
Without it, the rays of the sun will reduce them into cinder, allowing you to gather up his ashes and us it in an alchemic ritual to summon a homonculus that will take his place and become the ideal son...
That said, canceling his internet without doing the above will guarantee a bloody BAD END to a family...
Unless said family has a loli in the house long enough for him to be distracted from murder...
it is my personal belief that azure must work for Brady games. that was a walkthrough if i ever heard one, lol. how to kill the hikikomori in lvl. 15. lol.
-thebeast
then again, money aint free. gotta work to get it =/
like other mental compulsive paranoics ,this people must be cured
and helped to get out of this hell
the mother survived!?
This guy should've been thrown out on the streets years ago and forced to fend for himself.
You could say that the InterNEET strikes again
people like these mess wit the good name of NEETS and hiki's like me
So, you're a mentally unbalanced social misfit and proud of it. You may want to run a reality check.
well at least i have my own money i just dont leave my house
That's one heck of an anthithesis.
mess wit the "good" name? lol. it's a badge of disgace. you shouldn't wear it proudly.
HE STABBED FUTURE-TO-BE-LOLI ?? HANG THE MOTHERFUCKER
there is more to life than "loli's." reach around with both hands and pull your head out of your ass. stop following the little kindergarteners to school. it's not healthy.
Yea. Regardless of who he stabbed though D:
Too little, too late. >_<
I'm not even gonna get started about Japan's Justice System, or how fucked up it is. We have shit collecting in the court dockets over here in the US too.
What I will go on about is the absolute fucking stupidity in how nothing was done before this tragedy happened. And now this asshole will likely get 3 square meals a day, exercise, and a warm bed..... while his mother and infant niece share a cold grave marker.
I don't agree with the death penalty usually... but I'm on the fence this time, I'm telling you. I really am.
Im surprised he spent so much money in games, if he doesnt cares about killing his whole family over the internet connection i doubt he would care about pirating games or other stuff.
What was the point of his life anyway? what moved him to wake up every morning?
No matter how much i think about it, i just cant understand what kind of stuff were in his mind. I understand some serial killers get joy and stuff from killing, so at least they have a reason to do what they do. But this... there is no logic on his way of acting.
It's like some hikis are real-life diclonius :{
