I would have figured he would off himself after going on the rampage. By still being alive, this could turn very interesting. ~ Endedrural _(talk) 00:12, 9 June 2009 (CDT)

• There's still a lot of conflicting information / news around (not that that ever got in the way of a good ED page) but I think once the dust settles and the story is straightened out that this page could be a quite good. - raspberry_rush 05:33, 10 June 2008 (CDT)
  • He is probably going to get the death sentence.日本の糞 Imma wapanese jerk! 10:15, 26 June 2008 (CDT)

can't believe this isn't longer, a massacre in japan should be on the front page here. went to /b/ and there was no mention of him. what. the. fuck.--FireBreathingPanda 18:19, 10 June 2008 (CDT)

• I agree.日本の糞 Imma wapanese jerk! 10:15, 26 June 2008 (CDT)

He didn't become an hero, that's why. The other articles were front paged because the person killed themselves (became an hero) which automatically makes them a perfect subject to make fun of and laugh at. --Falsion 13:55, 21 June 2008 (CDT)

• No, it is because wapanese jerks like you wouldn't dream of touching something that goes against your fantasies of how wonderful everything must be in your chosen dreamland.日本の糞 Imma wapanese jerk! 10:15, 26 June 2008 (CDT)

Fail

Only 7? Fucking. weak. When that old dude ran into the farmer's market back in 2003 he killed 10, and injured 50. And that was an accident. Guy gets style points but he's got nothing on Cho. Chunkmunky 12:51, 16 June 2008 (CDT)

Recent aftermath and words from Kato's friends

All of the stuff here is reliable, just doing an info dump.日本の糞 Imma wapanese jerk! 10:19, 26 June 2008 (CDT)

Aftermath

The posters

“	Stab-attacks in the Akihabara Passing Demon Incident made a big commotion world-wide	„
—19-y.o. boy in Chiba

... so

“	[Imma] coming to Disneyland to stab and kill customers.	„
—Same 19-y.o. boy

As of the 23rd of June, the police have handled 17 cases of threats, 12 arrested, four sent to the prosecutors, one sent to juvenile correction or supervision.

Youngest is a 13-year-old boy (surprise!). Seven were men in their twenties. Six were under legal-adult age.

A 16-year-old girl also got into it (but appears not to be in the 17).

She said

“	I was lonely. I wanted a reaction to the messages I sent.	„

and

“	On the 13th I will kill people in Shibuya!	„

and

“	Kato cut a wonderful figure!	„

Some quotes about Kato from an article published on the tenth in Iza news (www.iza.ne.jp)

The suspect Kato soon made friends with one fellow (21).

Having drinks and playing mahjong, they met pretty much weekly.

the other fellow said that, as they came to know each other, he started to worry about the suspect's unusual hobbies.

"There were no 'things' in his room, it was bleak. All it was was a collection of fanfic comics. When we went to karaoke, the only songs we sang were from lolicon animations." [said his friend]

"Saying things like 'my only interests are 2D (the 2-D world of animation etc.)', he was a typical loli-type otaku." [said his friend]

"He was always using one hand to check 2 channel on his phone. Had his own handle, always looked like he was actively writing stuff." [said his friend]
