There is no longer statute of limitations for murder.

The move came after a police investigation demonstrated that traces of DNA from a cigarette butt found near the crime scene matched that of the suspect. The cigarette was the same brand as those Tanaka usually smoked at the time, investigative sources said.
No other cigarette butts found, with different DNA? No discarded cups, bottles, cans with DNA that didn't match this guy?

Ohsho Food Service Corp. had been paying Mikajime ryōkin [protection money] to the yakuza, until company president Takayuki Ohigashi put a stop to those payments...

in 2022...............
wow, that was pretty fast........are they sure they got the right guy? It usually takes NOT 9-10 years to arrest someone for a crime. The swift work of the Japanese Police Force.......

So what was he doing between 2013 and 2020? Living life freely?
How does one get arrested while in jail anyways?
Who is running this crap?
Was he that arrogant or that stupid to leave a cigarette he was smoking at the scene of the crime? I'm guessing a little of both?
And what? People keep records of what type of cigarettes they smoke year in and year out?
That's one of the dumbest things I ever hear of.
"Oh December 2013? Yeah, I remember that. I used to smoke John Player Specials by the carton per day.
2017? Oh, that was my Lucky Strike era, right before switching to Camels............"

A single human hair can be enough for DNA.

He was arrested for a different crime, that is when the DNA match came up.

Try to make it stick cos of DNA on a cigarette butt, really?

Seriously! How long did it take to do DNA tests? So here’s his excuse, I went for lunch, had a cigarette, and flicked it. Especially if there were other fag ends there from other smokers. Witnesses? Camera footage? Weapon? Ballistics?

The services industry in Japan is a cut-throat, difficult one. With the declining Yen, many companies in Japan will go bankrupt next year in massive waves.
Expect more brutal cases like this one.

Is there really a Statute of Limitations for this in Japan? I also hope he gets hung, too.
Rodney
One year before the ten year get off free card. Statute of limitations. Bad luck for the scumbag.

Financial trouble has long been rumored. The company had heavily invested into dubious businesses which went default on payments (amounting to about 4 billion yen). Ohigashi still tried to balance the account, a disturbing move to the borrowers as well as other execs at the company. A contract killing?
Fighto!
It took a while, but they finally got the killer of the Gyoza King.
It was always going to be gang-related. Good policing in nabbing the killer. If found guilty, hopefully the scum is hung.
RIP Gyoza King.
