Suspected killer of livestreamer wanted world to know of unpaid debts

Well I don't know about the world, but Japan now knows what happened, and that won't get you your money back at all. On the contrary, you're gonna spend the rest of your life in jail. Was it worth it?

Say what???

you're gonna spend the rest of your life in jail. Was it worth it?

Well he got what he wanted. People know the girl owe(s)d him money. So it seems it was.

I definitely don't condone the guy's actions but;

This is a failure of the court system. Why was this girl able to so easily shirk her responsibility?

Anatomy of Motive is a book that examines serial killers and others. Good read in the genre .

This killing is a frenzied attack, done "up close and personal " for a pittance of money

This fellow deserves life in jail to keep others safe.

He borrowed money from consumer credit firms to lend her. Word to the wise: Don't ever go near those consumer finance companies.

He won't have the worry of sarakin chasing him if he's in prison!

So he made his complete lack of common sense well know. Congratulations the world now knows he is apparently incapable of taking good decisions.

There’s also a missing story here. The victim Sato didn’t even pay back 1 yen, she stayed in tower mansion with her fiancee and went travelling a lot.

The guy asked her even to return 10,000 yen is fine, but he got blocked by her.

On Japanese site, the way she asked to borrow money is not someone once off asking to borrow money, but kind of a person who used to borrow money from others.

No victim blaming people....sometimes you cut your losses...not cut the person

She used the guy, plain and simple. It's an old story but you don't go about killing her. You get jail, she's dead and the money won't ever be repaid plus you may lose your own life. Control your rage. Don't lend money to or borrow money from people except as an absolute last recourse.

“Remind me never to borrow money from a Japanese guy.”

The slain live-streamer used her youth and influence to get money from the middle aged guy who I suppose had never been liked by a woman in his life. He even borrowed money from loan sharks to get her to like him. But she got the money and duped him. Never lend money to a Japanese girl.

"I thought the world would know what she had done if I created an incident and a trial was held," he was quoted as telling investigators, the sources said.

huh. It looks more like you stalked and killed her.

Next time don't lend money to people, even they are your cousins or your wife !

If capital punishment really is a deterrent, as 83% of Japanese believe, will young, unscrupulous ladies now stop leeching off unpopular middle aged men?

Seriously...I am freaken appalled by comments here justifying this murder.

Pathetic loser lends money to a woman and doesn't get repaid .

End of story for any rational thinking person.

Never lend money with the expectation of ever seeing it again.

As Hamlet said: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend". I feel so sorry for poor Airi-san.

Only a FOOL would do this, probably he was attracted to the 22 years old girl hoping that may be someday he'll get lucky.

Then he when he realized it was mission impossible, Money Can't Buy Love, he sued her and then killed her.

Selfish Fool, that's all.

A reflection of the state of minds

Victim on victim violence I guess

That is almost exactly how I imagined the killer looked. Uncanny.

A lifetime in prison over 2.5 million yen? Doesn't make much sense, the real reason is the rejection.

The guy met her in person and could DM her, so there is a high chance she has led him on.

Her ranking on the livestreaming app corresponds to at least one million yen a month, so she could have paid him something back as demanded by the civil court. It sounds like such courts are powerless in reality.

I do not condone what he's done, but I doubt he'll get life for this. It'll be manslaughter or similar.

I'm not sure that you understand what 'manslaughter' is.

You have unpaid debts! Now we all know! Congrats! Now you also have unpaid debts to society to add on to that, and probably in prison you'll start owing people right away. Ain't life grand?

It's difficult to justify any crime if we think outside the context.

However, we also shouldn't forget that for us as human beings, "unfairness or injustice" could easily lead to incomprensible behaviours.

People get crazy when they did all things correct and still got fooled zven by justice.

She crossed the line, she lost it all. He is still living...

Not everyone can psychologically bear this kind of situation.

He must have warned her.

When the milk stops being free, I stop drinking.

Stop giving money to these talentless pretty faces.

They feed off your loneliness and they absolutely do not care about you.

They just extract wealth at your expense.

Treat them as such and keep your money in your own pocket.

It's nice to virtual signal in hindsight, but financial disputes is one of the leading causes of homicide.

She should have not blocked him and tried to make a payment arrangement. She going around live streaming while he going through financial distress by helping her - she is not a "victim" but a consequence of her actions to this serious matter.

FYI - her DM messages with him are published on Reddit - she was definitely exploiting this guy and that was a lot of money

If someone took money from a crime syndicate and never paid back and blocked them, what do you think what happened?

What you are doing is trying to say this situation should not have the same outcome? Why - that's where you wrong when you try to respond. Actions have consequences.

He’s only going to get 15 years…you heard it here first.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Takano first learned of Sato through her streams in February 2021. Around August 2022, he began frequenting her workplace and later started lending her money after she claimed to be struggling to pay her living expenses, the sources said.

That would make her 18 and him 38 when he first initiated contact. It’s very bleak that most are questioning her not paying him back instead of why he was tuning into and becoming acquainted with a teenaged live streamer. He was definitely up to no good and when he wasn’t getting what he wanted, he decided he wanted his money back. If he didn’t like such childish behavior, he shouldn’t have gotten involved with a child.

That being said, I don’t condone her not paying him back. If anything, the police dropped the ball with not making a bigger effort to look into her on Takano’s behalf. But — it should go without saying but no one deserves to be murdered for not paying back a debt.

A debt don't justifie what he did..

No he will pay for it..

he began frequenting her workplace and later started lending her money

Was that workplace a hostess bar by any chance?

Unfortunately one more case demonstrating that a lonely man is capable of repeated insane behavior when they get illuded by an attractive woman.

Hope that this sad event be educational to lonely men and supposed to be attractive and ambitious women. There were cases of deceit of lonely women believing that they were helping famous figures too, as Brad Pitt...

It’s a lot of money for some he tried the legal avenues but they didn’t work there must have been warning signs all over the wall don’t think that killing the girl was the solution very sad story.

I'm glad to see comments on YouTube discussing this case at least understanding where this guy came from. She certainly didn't deserve to be killed, but she was playing with fire by asking lonely guys to loan her money under very false pretenses and flaunting not paying him back (despite the courts deciding she had to).

Since I stop lending people money, my stress level went down significantly.
