Since the infamy in Akihabara, a wave of copycat would be stabbers has arisen, not to mention a number of actual stabbers, with police now having investigated a total of 300 incidents of threatened or actual violence, chiefly being posted to online bulletin boards.
Rag Gendai suggests that top shrink and noted game hater 岡田尊司 / Takashi Okada’s theories on “mental pollution” are directly applicable to the case of Akiba stabber Tomohiro Kato; in his view children into games lose the ability to discern fantasy from reality, exhibiting all the symptoms of drug addiction, and so degenerate into inhuman killers shorn of all pity or remorse.
And of course this will make lots of parents think that everyone is this stupid and bad their children from playing games. None of them will realize that there was crime before games even existed... More

Firstly, a girl (17), who posted messages to a bulletin board stating that she would perpetrate a massacre at a local train station which would put the recent Akiba rampage to shame, has been charged with a misdemeanour. She claimed she did it as a prank. Read the rest of this entry »

Police in Akiba swooped upon another man wielding a knife in Akiba, but the knife in question was a small penknife, the man absolutely innocent, and the police unable to arrest the man, as they clearly hankered to do, as the blade was under the 5cm in length permitted to be carried by Japanese law.
Guess pigs are the same everywhere you go.... More
little much for just a pen knife isnt it? i mean dont hey have any real criminal to chase for 2 hrs? then again they get paid to haras him so i guess it works out... More
The man to whom persistent rumours of his being the next Japanese Prime Minister have attached, 麻生太郎 / Taro Aso (67), has penned a newspaper column which is bold in its support of otaku, defending them from the vile calumnies the media heaps upon them, and also paid a visit to Akihabara to pay his respects to the fallen.
On the heels of the recent flood of shrine maiden goodness comes a related new development in the cutthroat world of Akiba cosplay cafes, where just about any gimmick will be tried in the hopes of becoming the next maid boom, in the form of a new miko café, called appropriately enough 巫女さんかふぇ / Miko-san Café.
“I’m boasting, but I’m a virgin, small, and have phimosis (and full phimosis at that)”. The ongoing efforts of the media to pin the blame for Akiba stabber Tomohiro Kato’s rampage on his otaku interests, as well as the efforts of 2ch to pin the blame on Toyota’s temp downsizing, have both taken a blow with the revelations about the man’s character emerging from a detailed dissection of the thousands of posts he made to various sites over the past year. They depict rather strongly a man obssessed with his own isolation and sexual insecurity.
damn! why let others suffer the same fate as you have, dont they have better things to do than hurt people??? BAKERO!!!... More
The same thing occurred to me - it seems retraction is like a rite of passage to many Japanese, and also that phimosis is vastly more common in Japan than the West. Most people wouldn't even... More
Mrs Wide Open, or 沢本あすか / Asuka Sawamoto as she likes to call herself, “22-year-old” exposure idol, scarlet lady and dabbling thief (30), has seemingly attained yet a new level of notoriety with the news that knife wielding rampaging spree killer Tomohiro Kato (25) was not only a fan of knives and anime, but also nursed some perverse fascination with her street gymnastics.
With the recent incidents, it seems the regular pedestrianisation of much of Akihabara is on its last legs. Police and area committees seem set to announce an urgent suspension of the policy shortly, with police expressing concerns over the possibility of copycat crimes, even though Mrs Wide Open is no longer a fixture in Akiba. However, shops too have been urging an end to the policy.
“There are absolutely loads of people who don’t even have the common sense not to eat and drink in the shop amongst the people who come here during the pedestrian times." ...what's wrong with eating/drinking in... More
Goodbye Akihabara.... More
Finally, the media finds the story it needs; we hear that Tomohiro Kato (25), the Akihabara mass murderer, had numerous dojinshi in his apartment (above), liked games, only sung anime songs at karaoke, and was an army otaku, with an interest in militaria (Fuji video bulletin, replete with ominous music). He “only had an interest in the 2D”, like a certain previous case. Let the witch-hunt begin?
otaku =/= anime only of course, that is a thing that weeaboo tend to mix up. and MOST of japan doesnt even like otaku (especially the women), which is another thing weeaboo dont comprehend. apparently they would rather... More
asian media does have a tendency to twist or phrase stories to make it more juicy to the masses and boost sales...so take it with a pinch of salt(hands out salt shakers)... More
A man, identified as Tomohiro Kato (25), launched into a knife wielding rampage in Akiba, in which he indiscriminately attacked 18 people, with 7 of his victims subsequently dying. He apparently also ran people down in a truck, and attacked police officers, stabbing at least one. He gave the reason “I became sick of the world. I came to Akihabara to kill” for his actions.
poor otaku, he should have took his rage out on NEETs... More
I remember reading this in the newspapers last year. As no one mentions it here, in case anyone was wondering, he (the killer) blamed his actions on having become addicted to mobile cell phone games, which... More
Keep your mobile or iPod safe in true lolicon otaku style, with a holder mimicking the form of a school issue swimsuit. Calling it a “moe item” may be a bit of a stretch, especially with its quad-amputee styling, but it is strangely amusing. Currently being distributed as a sample with Champoin Red magazine. See more at AkibaBlog if you are of a mind.
