A man has gone on a bloody rampage at a Mazda automobile factory, running over and injuring or killing 11 people in an attack he claims was based on the notorious massacre conducted by a disgruntled otaku on the streets of Akihabara.
The 42-year-old man formerly worked at the Hiroshima main plant of auto maker Matsuda (Mazda globally), where the attack took place.
The attack began around 8:00AM as the day and night shifts were changing places, with the suspect using his Mazda Familia to run down a number of Mazda employees, leaving its bonnet dented and its windscreen shattered.
Far from satisfied, he drove on to another site and ran down several more people, with the final toll standing at 11 hit, with one fatality and two victims left in serious condition.
The attack lasted only 8 minutes and during it he covered a distance of 7.5km.
He drove away from the scene at high speed, and hours later summoned police to his location, where he was arrested on charges of attempted murder.
Police found an 18cm kitchen knife in his car, which he had apparently planned to use in the massacre.
He claims he was angry at being fired, but Mazda reports he left the company voluntarily several months before for personal reasons. Acquaintances describe him as a solitary and unfriendly individual who held a great liking for cars.
Police are still investigating his motivations for the attack, but report that he filed personal bankruptcy in 2008 after becoming heavily indebted, and that his acute economic privations since then may have contributed to a mental breakdown.
He made a statement in which he claimed inspiration for his attack came from the 2008 Akiba massacre:
“I had a grudge against Mazda. I was thinking of messing up the place with a knife like the Akihabara massacre.”
He was disarmingly frank about the circumstances surrounding the attack, saying “I ran them down with the intent of killing them” and “I’m a loser.”

That bastard better have not gotten blood on an RX-8 or Mazdaspeed 3.
why people do this ^_^? they want to be notice by the whole world & free exposure help from the media or maybe goodthings comes to an end? well if you ask me ?
ans:^_^'? did i say that?
they do it to show up on sankakucomplex^^
he's probably gone crazy due to radiation
but he did a pretty good job for a beginner
another loser that thinks life is against him...
i got an idea for the next dumb ass that want to make a name for himself by doing a killing spree..
1. get a length of rope, make sure its long
2. go to the top of a hi rise, or better yet tokyo tower.
3. tie one end to the tower, the other end around your neck,
4, jump off said building, when the rope runs out it'll rip your head off and your bloody stump will crash to the ground, then your head will land in someones tea.
easier than mass murder, and still gets you name in the paper! Problem solved!!!
and on another note... Wheres some naked idol gallerys?? havent seen any in awhile!
Kim Jong just attack Japan?
What's creepy is how many of these crazed (usually hikkikomori or NEET) Japanese guys basically just do the deed just to do it, and accept the consequences.
d000d it's kim jong's long lost brother!!1
"Stab Alone Complex" hmm? Would this guy be a "Stabbing Man" copycat then?
WTF I have the same jacket as him ;d
quick you should mimic him and you'll be named mazda stabber copycat. rofl
I tell you depression can lead people to do insane things. I think depression as an illness should be taken a lot more seriously.
He was collecting those victims as points
And if I didnt see better I'd think that the cop on the left in the 1st pic looks like some robot cop, with that hat and mask and all
He must of really hated rotary engines.
I would buy that... Sounds kinda awesome, but I can't help to imagine a slight rage from as thous supposed "political correct"-fags...
And +1 for the teens/milfs thing
Kids these days.. tsk tsk tsk, always copy what they see on.., oh wait.
He just forgot to solve his problems the Japanese way -> suicide...
I love how they summon the police to their places themselves, here where I live the guy would never even be caught lol
i thought he would end with a suicide like what all proper mass-killers should
If he didn't call the police, he wouldn't get any credit for the crime, which he obviously wanted badly enough to run over people.
"GTA: Akihabara"
That's all I can say...I hope no children and cute teenagers/MILFs got killed...
At least he admits his intentions. A car isn't going to even do much but some stitches or a broken bone in most cases also.
Depends how fast he was going to get an idea of the "damage".
Actually a car is a far more effective weapon then a knife or even some small caliber hand guns.
You got a 1 to 3 ton projectile that can do 100+mph there can be more kinetic energy involved then a medieval battering ram.
Hit a group of people at speed you can cause a lot of harm.
Though this does not surprise me as in Japan traditionally getting hired somewhere like Mazda meant a job for life.
In this present economy this is no longer the case.
Take note don't fire a Japanese salary man unless there is no other choice.
I would buy that.
Ah, and +1 for the 2nd statement.
I would buy that... Sounds kinda awesome, but I can't help to imagine a slight rage from as thous supposed "political correct"-fags...

According to the picture:
Section no. 1, 2, 3, and 4 = Boss Fights?
"Stab Alone Complex"
I LOL'd!
Maybe he got achievements/trophies in there?
it's not at akiba.

There probably isn't anything more dangerous and unreasonable in the world than a disgruntled, out of work, out of society, desperate men who won't mind becoming a serial killer as a means of lashing out.
As sad as his situation is, the criminal just has to be put away for good. Not only for society but for himself.
I'm guessing he thought "it just felt right." :/
i wonder the same myself. all it takes is a decision 1 morning and your life is irrevocably changed
@Shippoyasha 17:44 :
Your comment makes me wonder: how many people out there "won't mind becoming a serial killer", but never do, simply because they're not motivated?
Quite a few, in all honesty, I bet only don't become this because they haven't lost their jobs.
We put way too much pressure on people today, and it's coming back to bite us in the tush.
lol...so it's okay if older men, and women with no kids get ran over?
Don't tell me you haven't noticed people sympathizing more strongly with when kids or preggies die.
It's not ok to their orphaned children.
As long as they're ugly. Eugenics!!
And I had hoped Agnes chan got caught in the mess...
I'm not sure which is funnier, the 18cm kitchen or that we both said roughly the same thing at the exact same time :P
A "Job Complaint", post office style, I see...
Hmm... He was a fan of vehicles... Well, going by the medias logic, cars make people kill. Well its decided, cars are bad for society.
Nevermind the victims, how the heck can you call yourself a vehicle fan when you leave your car's "bonnet dented and its windscreen shattered"?
Now we just need to convince a fan of Equality Now to kill somebody or commit a horrendous crime and then we're all set.
This bastard deserves to be hung.
pictures are hung, people are hanged
Some people are hung like a horse, though.
Governments should just round up and shoot all the quiet, friendless loners. Or at least sterilize them and keep them under 24 hour surveillance!
You'll be the first when that happens.
wow can't even make his own crime? at least your going the same place that killer got to. prison :D
He love the car more then the people.
