This is the strangest case I've ever heard. How one man was able to hold an entire family of 7? (that also had 2 grown men in it) hostage and manipulate them is just so unbelievable. Like if this was in a fictional story I would have called it bad writing
No it's very believable, blackmail, manipulation, eventually feeling as if it's your acceptable normal. I totally get it. What I don't get, is the point where you allow your children to become involved. You can't judge until you've experienced it as it's such a mind fck. I always thought turning a blind eye to your child being harmed was part of the victim's brainwashing. I don't think so anymore, self-preservation be damned, there are parents that'll fight back at that point.
That's exactly what I was thinking. The whole time I was like, there's no way they couldn't have overpowered him if they wanted to in the beginning at least
Doubt one man did this, it was a group of people, and one man took the fall. That is the way it is in the states, a network of satanic deviants are unleashed on society, all related to the ruling class or at least assets of them. The system then fabricates these lone wolf deviant stories and calls them serial killers. Dave McGowan documents the connections.
A 10 year old child wanting to be murdered so that she won't feel pain anymore is the blackest, darkest, most twisted thing I've ever witnessed in the world, they are at an innocent age where they don't have to think about any negative stuff of life like taxes and responsibility, and they are supposed to laugh, and play games, and make friends. And yet that little kid was brought up to such a place that she willingly lifted her own neck to be strangled. That literally brought a tear to my eye.
Yes, it is horrible, however and I don’t mean to sound rude but one the girl was 12, and we(pre-teens, teens) don’t make friends very well, everyone is either bullied or a bully, there’s no in between. We all hate each other aside from friends because they’re the only ones who understand us enough to get through middle school and high school.
@@TrojanPiece no, I’ve lived in North America my whole life. I just meant that we as in teenagers and preteens as in everywhere around the world do tend to worry or think negatively a lot. Not all of us do what there is a lot of us that do think that way(Example: I’m almost always thinking about how humans are the worst beings in the galaxy.)
Jeez a lot of the stories coming out of Japan are unbelievable. The prolonged torture details are hard to listen to…I don’t understand people like this.
I thought all of this had gone out the door with WWII and the Korea and Bataan atrocities. Of course there are horrific murders everywhere. But I've NEVER heard so many INSANE instances of just diabolical and long lasting torture than I have from Japan. They have lower crime than us, but when they go, man they really go.
@@markmike7933 I think many of the crimes are not reported, just recently I saw a video where a girl told us how she was advised not to report her attacker "you really want to make a big deal out of it". That's from Korea according to her story, but I think it's true everywhere, many crimes go unreported especially if you're a foreigner. That and the fact that many accuse foreigners of being attacked because they don't know the language. 🤦🏻♀️
@@porrrnesianparrrapio950 Not knowing a language of the land you’re in makes you the perfect prey. You stick out, people will be much less likely to step in on your behalf against their own countrymen, depending on the political climate the police could be much less likely to assist you, and just communicating about the intricate details of your attack is greatly hampered. It’s not just because they speak a different language. Nothing is ever that simple.
@@markmike7933 bs, America still has way more cases of ultra sick serial murderers per populous then Japan, also commits far more war crimes they are just in power so they get away with it
Unbelievable that Futoshi was a wanted man, moved back to his hometown, and walked in (and out) of a police station to get Junko’s father. One of the most horrific cases ever!
It’s so crazy how the neighbors anywhere they go can’t freaking hear anything. The houses there so close to each other. Poor mika I don’t know how she’ll recover. Those poor kids too :’(
I wonder if they say, "I don't want to get involved." I used to work with one of those - didn't care if someone was outside her house screaming for help.
My takeaway from both this and the Junko Furuta case is that: A) Japanese police are really bad at their jobs (or at least were) B) The Japanese desire to be polite seemingly overrides their self-preservation instinct.
@GooseAlarm some kamikaze pilots were also chosen and programmed from birth... their entire lives were focused solely on the mission... there are some very interesting documentaries here on YT... they were treated like celebrities... and it was an honor to sacrifice their lives for their country!
Your respect for the victims/families while conveying the graphic details is so admirable, this case will stick with me. My heart breaks that no one could escape or come forward in order to stop this man’s maniacal rampage. This is more than sad, there’s no words to describe how this made me feel. Rest In Peace to all victims Junko and Mika did not have a way out for so long.
That man must have been the devil, I have never before heard something this insane and evil, the way he managed to manipulate and torture a whole family, the children too is so shocking to me. Incredibly sad.
Totally agree. I’ve just discovered this channel today and subscribed after seeing this video. He dealt with the graphic details so impressively. A rising you tube star for sure
@@michaelpearce4632 ikr? I always thought he did a fabulous job with such hard pronunciations.. I would’ve butchered them not on purpose of course but he really handles them well..
There are very few people, even after watching far too much True Crime content for my own good, that I would feel comfortable calling "pure evil". Most of these killers/abusers come from horrific upbringings and deal with immense mental illness/trauma, which doesn't outright excuse their actions, but I can at least sympathize with them on some level. Futoshi, however, is pure evil, and I'm more confident stating that about him than I ever felt when using those words. What Futoshi did is nothing short of demonic, and I sincerely hope that there's an afterlife that's horrific enough to take him once he's finally dead. May his victims rest in peace/find the strength to continue on, and may this monster meet the end he deserves.
Before I read the "MORE" part of your post, I almost had a heart attack :) YES, a lot of criminals never had a chance. It did not sound that way for this guy. He was just a MONSTER. I go back and forth on there being an afterlife but just imagining a God judging him and punishing him is very satisfying
I too can sympathize with even the most horrific individuals, but Futoshi deserves and receives no sympathy. I refrain from saying this as a Christian, but I truly pray this man is burning in Hell. I am in no position to be a judge, but he deserves his eternal sentence.
@@coysimpson1557 there's a big difference in calling the cops for a welfare check because someone sounds like they're being tortured next door, and "cancelling" someone because they offended you or hurt some snowflakes feelings. Give your head a shake.
Sadly, Japanese culture doesn't work like that. If you see someone being harassed on the street and step in to help, you become liable for anything that happens as you're "butting in". Unless the victim is actively yelling for help, it's not your business. I'm not saying it's right, it's just how it is over there.
Its really infuriating how little the Japanese police investigate actual suspicious cases while going nuts for minor crimes. I lived in Japan for a while and I got pulled over on my bike for "passing the police car suspiciously" while it was sitting in the middle of the road. I was interrogated in their cop car for an hour and a half because the bike was registered to a different name (borrowed bike from where I was living) and they thought my ID was fake because I didnt look American (Japanese, raised in America). If only they put that amount of effort into actual criminals.
I just don't understand how one guy can brainwash and manipulated so many people and none of those people ever retaliated? He must have targeted the weakest people, mentally and physically. Even then, this is something unthinkable.
The odds are you have been manipulated at some point and may not even know it or in denial. And if you watch a particular news channel or go along with one political party you bet your ass you're being manipulated.
Like I lost respect immediately for the husband when he just started offering money and begging while he was assaulting his wife. And for them to start IDOLIZING him is just insane to me. I almost didn’t feel bad for them. They had ample time to react or even beat him up. Like it was all of them against 2 people and they just didn’t do anything it’s weird.
we always assume only the weakest of our society could be ever manipulated and that it could never be us. all it needs is a janus-faced someone who is invested enough in you to nose out your achilles' heel and hone in on it. charlatans don't trot around in black coats, offering magical snake oil... they are most often the people you consider your friend. that man was tortured and killed by matsunaga, someone he considered his dear friend hence trusting him with his secrets. it's easy to assume to think these people were slow-witted because there's no way you would trust matsunaga, someone who ardently lies but that is the narrative of the video. if he or anyone else just came up to you one day, would you assume the worst from them? or would you give a friendly stranger the benefit of the doubt? so who is to say you wouldn't trust him or other machiavellians alike?
Man you tube been dry same s*** everyday dude where's a bunch of people coffee in the same bunch of cases for the same exact content just different people doing it
This exemplifies why unrelenting harmony can be just as dangerous as chaos. No one sticks out or brings attention to questions all under the guise of retaining harmony.
I hear that. I'm not trying to blame the victims, but it's unfathomable to me that he was able to abuse and control so many people for such an extended period of time without some kind of uprising by the family. Similarly to what you said, test me for timidity one time, and the response will be devastating and immediate.
@@BulkernatorKerb teasing dosen't always just drop people you do know right? This isn't an episode of cops where you hav high grade teasers. Yes those things hurt like hell but you can still function if you get popped as long as you dont have something like a heart condition or its prolonged. Get your head out of your ass and stop thinking movie are the same as irl.
@@marcospinelli6367 that has nothing to do with it. I watch where people are easily blackmailed into doing something and it makes zero sense. Every time I see an adult easily manipulated by one person I can tell that type of person is easily influenced.
The way that he was able to just simply walk in to a house one day and completely take over all their lives and then take most of those lives… it’s just mind boggling.
It’s important to know that Japanese houses have much thinner walls. Winter is more harsh, so what he did was another level of messed up. This all is so unreal.
Thanks for covering these famous Japanese cases. There's an infamous case of 7 consecutive mysterious deaths in a town near mine called Kumatori. I don't think any English speaking UA-camrs have really covered it yet and it would be interesting to see
You have NO IDEA how long I've waited for you to cover this... Well, you do... I've been hounding you for a while now 😅... In all seriousness, thank you for covering this. It's one of the most shocking crimes out of Japan and it was no surprise that the Japanese media tried to keep this case out of public view. Just shows how vile Futoshi Matsunaga was.
@@rachaelgraceblack Thanks Rachel! I really appreciate it. After I covered this case and learned of Dire Trip and his knowledge of Japanese crimes, I was desperate for him to cover this case. I'm delighted that he has, as he has a unique perspective to be able to shine a light on this horrendous individual.
@@ThatCrimeGuy I just stumbled upon your channel as well and binge watched a bunch the other night! Great videos man! The most horrifying one though that I’ve seen in a long time was about the vampire dude.. Trenton? Something? I can’t remember his name.. but that was seriously one of the most disturbing cases I have seen in a very long time. I can only imagine what that must have been like researching it! Insane! I really like your channel though!! I’ve already pointed a few people in your direction:)
It's impressive how 2 abled-body men didn't do anything in this hell. Like their passiveness & obedience sealed their fate & especially in Kazuya's case, his entire family.
I'm not... Humans (not all) are a despicable species. Feeling like we're at the top of everything gives some a feeling of superiority. With that lots become horrendous creatures.
They had knives. Items around them that could be used to defend themselves. They had so many opportunities to defend themselves. So many chances to change everything.
@@guilhermehank4938 exactly. If they did horrible things, they should be ended, horribly. Nothing like saying "ok, you're dying tonight" to someone. I bet it doesn't feel great to hear. Lol
death penalty is intentionally slow because if theres any evidence that the person didnt do it, was manipulated / forced, and so on, you can stil go and release it and undo your mistake if you just kill it asap, you cant magically revive the person i mean, i do think some bad people like this do deserve it, but changing the system and making things worse for innocents sucks, just for what, to speed up the kill of someone that is unlikely to be a harm to society due to being on death row? if we go with the guess that 4-5% of the people jailed are there unfairly (which is what i see thrown around a lot) that means 1 out of every 20 people did nothing, so giving time to find evidence that might save those 1/20 is certainly important people always point out we're paying for criminals to live happily but like, army spends tons and tons of money on a lot of failed projects, like that camo that wasnt useful and costed a lot of millions, some money to potentially give innocent people a chance to be saved from being executed unfairly isnt even that bad
How the hell is this ONE dude gonna to hold Mika's whole family hostage?!?! If a criminal did that to me and my family we would have attacked him period end of story.🤬😤🙄
It’s always amazed me how so many people are manipulated and bamboozled by people because their job status or where they went to uni. I couldn’t give a rats arse if you graduated from kings college and are a brain surgeon, if your a see you next Tuesday , that’s all I care about.
As someone who dropped out of college and know people from both walks I will say, people with college education are pretentious assholes with little to no common sense. I’d rather take anyone who has an understanding of physical life than someone who’s lived their life immersed in computers or books. Book smarts almost never equals street smarts and book smarts are really useful in a work setting that pertains to such.
@@iXmetalXi that's such a reductive viewpoint. there's book smart people with street smarts, it's not a black and white situation and not everyone fits so neatly into your little categories. i personally prefer people who can think about things beyond what they can see with their eyes and who can enrich their own world or have a rich inner life. edit: I dropped out of college too, that doesn't mean one has to become a dullard.
@@princesstamika problem is those with “higher education” are harder to get to think outside of their box. Like I said I’ve seen people from all walks. I’m not saying it’s all, just a majority. Thinking quick and outside the box is hard to do if you live your life strictly by the steps of the scientific method.
Two of the most horrific crimes I've heard so far happened in Japan and both involve kidnapping, torture and murder. One is obviously this one, the other being the tragic case of Junko Furuta. If the maniac in this case here is enough to upset and infuriate us, he's at least been properly sentenced, while the murderers of Junko Furuta are now walking free. A true monstrosity.
my first thoughts also.. to have two children and not defend them with your life if needed is just unthinkable for me.. since i dont have any children and i would still die for a strangers child..i cant imagine what i would do for mine
Learn more about asian people and culture...u will understand why they are different then us and so helpless..mostly for this are responsible : poor difficult stressed lives,pretty conservative and submissive country , criminal power over a pretty useless defense system...etc...its truly depressing once u get to understand more...
It's different culture. Little empathy and individuality to the point that people lack self-respect and self-preservation. People just leave distressed children on streets to die fearing that talking with them asking what's wrong would make others look at them "funny". Another case where 12 year girl escaped her captor and tried asking help on the street. Was ignored. 2 times! 2 different times of escape... Spineless people. Thank Christianity for establishing western morals. It's partly why westerners are never going to ignore small children in distress and will risk to "inconvenient" themselves to help others. Let less smart to hate it, but Christianity is what set standards and made us what we are. Morals, etc. it's ingrained into our society and souls.
I find myself looking at you're channel to see if you uploaded anything. It's amazing to see that you're into Japanese Crime. There isn't any other channel like this out there. The way you tell there stories is mind blowing. You get into like you have gone through it yourself. I absolutely live listening to the channel. You do any amazing job getting all the details down correctly and if you can't confirm something you let us all know. Great job. It's nice to see that you're willing to investigate and tell there stories that happened in another country and not just the USA. Look forward to you're next upload. God bless
This is a masterclass in crime reporting. Thank you Dire Trip, I wish I had the money to support you but please know your channel is greatly appreciated.
I would love for you to review the son’s channel Your videos got me really invested in this case and would love to know more! This was an amazing video As much of a horrible crime this was you got me so interested on how you didn’t leave information out cause of how heinous it is, the victims of this case needs their story to be told
I’ve heard stories similar to this from France and from America where a disgruntled conman holds a family hostage…I don’t understand how this comes to be
Anyone who is preyed upon by a skilled manipulator in a time of vulnerability can be reduced to such a sorry, incomprehensible state. Nobody is immune to it.
@@absolutelypitiful3837 I can understand one person. Maybe a couple…but when a person single handedly controls an entire family, a family with many years of connection and relations, I just can’t comprehend it.
This is one of the worst torture cases Ive heard of, reminds me of Junko Furuta.. The part where they forced the father and daughter to do s*x acts on eachother especialy stuck with me. Poor Mika, I would have offed myself if that happened to me. I cant imagine how horrible the father must have felt too. I respect Mika not only for surviving but being able to continue her life. I wouldnt. Thanks for covering all the details
Yeah when that part came up I genuinely felt sick, not many things rattle me but that one really got to me, I want to cry imagining how horrible that must have been for her and her father and I have so much respect for her to be able to continue living after that
How did you know I was about to research this! I was looking for a comprehensive video for a quick description to do more reading so thank you so much!!!
This entire case is horrifying and infuriating... I really hope "Mika" is able to have some semblence of "normal" after all she went through. I hope the other children involved have also had as normal of a life as possible growing up. I know it won't change anything they've been through, but I hope life is kind enough to them to make up for the horrors they lived through.
i love these videos so much, ive always been interested in crime stories because my ma always watched them. feels good to finally have a channel that goes into all the details and gives me more of an understanding to what these people fully experienced.
U should check out Stephanie harlow and Emma Kenny, Emma works with the police and can tell u what a lot of criminals are like behind bars, Stephanies videos are over an hour but she goes into major detail
Dire Trip, one of the top reasons I like your channel, is because you do a lot of stuff from Japan! I love listening to you pronounce the language and tell us interesting little tid-bits about the local history. Thank you for everything!
Fully deserving of the death penalty. It is a great shame and somewhat unbelievable that he was never picked up by the police for the fraud, it sounds like they didn't look for him very hard. The negative side of the Japanese proclivity to not to get involved or intervene in others business or family life is very much on display here, if I heard the sounds of someone being tortured I would check up on them even if it meant cutting through their door with an axe, it's not the sort of sound someone can pass off in an innocent way without some sort of horrible accident, in old times things were perhaps less bad as the village style community held a large part of the social life and everyone knew each over very well, the breakdown of that is one of the negative aspects of westernisation.

Hah, as someone that studied the law to become a lawyer (& did research for several countries...And finding difficult truths )& was ready to go all in, until I realised some undeniable things & I no have no belief in any justice system, I mean we live in a global patriarchy....justice where?!

This is an absolutely horrendous case. Why did the neighbours not think something sinister washing on and report it? Just subscribed to your channel, brilliantly narrated and put together. All the best from Heather in Scotland.
Oh my goodness... This story was horrific! I cannot believe this was a real case... The details were.... 😲! I feel so bad for all of his victims. Amazing story telling as usual and your pronunciation of all things Japanese is superb!! 👍🏻 XO
Oh wow, I actually watched a video about this within this week. I think I searched it up from a comment someone left on a video of yours mentioning him! This is far more detailed and horrific, however. I appreciate the amount of research you put into this, and the fact you don't gloss over details.
I had to stop listening. I lived there while some later stuff was going on. Media would love to report but the government restricts them, you know because Japan is "a crime free" country. More criminal things happened there in three years than my whole life is America, especially to me personally. Two ten year olds murdered a child in our neighborhood pond but miraculously it was never on the news. The rape and suicide is out of control. But, this case? It’s hard to imagine him being charming. He looks ornery in every picture. What’s up with his eyebrows? It’s hard to imagine him being a ladies man but I’ll say, it’s pretty obvious he targeted less attractive women in hardship. I hate the victim blaming in Japan. They shouldn’t be ashamed. They’re so quiet. I always screamed at those perverts in Japanese and they sulked away like a defeated insect. I wish I knew Junko and “Miko." I’d go ballistic on that monster. 😡
thanks for doing justice to these horrific stories. it’s very helpful to raise awareness. i as a mum of a son that died under very suspicious circumstances, police were involved! feel awareness is very helpful to families. thank you
I would rather die saving my daughter than to have a man do this to us. Also what I don't understand is how 2 adults couldn't and or didn't overwhelm their attacker, imagine just taking it? I'd rather die than have someone like that forced on me
I appreciate your dedication to making consistent and well researched content. Thank you for being willing to tell the full story. I hope you are having a great weekend.
Why is it that cases out of Japan leave me shocked for weeks? There is a different type of darkness that comes with these Japanese cases. Can I tell you I live in Japan and these stories are not told here...
I know right!? I've lived in Japan for 13 years (now back home in Canada) and have gotten more details in this 39 min video than all my years in Japan.

If you read only news in English, of course you wouldn't hear them, but if you follow Japanese news, they are reported in detail.

@@markv9641 Oh I've always known this case but never really read too much into it because I simply wasn't into true crime stuff back then. I'm actually as fluent in Japanese as I am in English.
@@sootchh4055 I hope you didn't think I was accusing you or anything. I just notice a lot of comments about how Japan doesn't put into press their crimes, how Japanese don't know what is going on in Japan, etc., so wanted to point out that if people only read English news, they're not going to get a very realistic view of what Japanese know about their own country.
Thanks for the details that I haven't heard of elsewhere. I just want to add a small one. When Junko attempted suicide, her parents called an ambulance but asked them to turn off the siren because they didn't want the neighbors to know that there was a drama going on in their family. Saving face had a higher priority than their daughter's safety to them. It seems like this was a bit too much even to the Japanese standard. Not wanting to get embarrassed at all cost was the family's big weakness. And Futoshi understood it and took advantage of it too well.
This is fucking insane, how can grown men let this happen to their family Also all the neighbors who just don't fucking call the police when they hear fucked up stuff is beyond me this whole thing is. I wish I could talk to miko and hear her story
Some of the details of this case reminded me of another Japanese movie called Cold Fish, the way the guy is able to work his way into the family and manipulate was very similar. Plus the couple on a killing spree. I thought that film was disturbing and knowing that it was probably inspired by this case makes even more so.
They did make a story based on this it's on Netflix and it's called "The Forest of love" if you watched Cold Fish it's up that same alley of creepiness.
How fitting, I just finished THE FOREST OF LOVE: DEEP CUT, the Sion Sono miniseries based on this case. Shockingly accurate to the real case, even down to the electrocution and dismembering. How one man could do so much evil and enact so much cruelty is mind-boggling to me, and the fact he didn't even directly kill a single person is even more horrifying.

Unbelievable that Futoshi was a wanted man, moved back to his hometown, and walked in (and out) of a police station to get Junko’s father. One of the most horrific cases ever!
It speaks a lot about the police. In a lot of these cases, whenever the police comes in, they are borderline cartoonishly incompetent
@@guilhermehank4938 yes police in Japan is just for decoration!
Maybe not many crimes in Japan that they let their guard down..

Oof
It’s so crazy how the neighbors anywhere they go can’t freaking hear anything. The houses there so close to each other. Poor mika I don’t know how she’ll recover. Those poor kids too :’(
I wonder if they say, "I don't want to get involved." I used to work with one of those - didn't care if someone was outside her house screaming for help.
Didn't you watch the whole thing? She's doing well. She wouldn't want pity, I have a feeling. Support yes, pity no. She's too strong.
You can hear everything. But yeah, it’s a case of not wanting to get involved.

@@markmike7933 because if not (and even if you do), you can never ever know what is going on inside another persons head, ever
"Junko" has got to be a cursed name.

My takeaway from both this and the Junko Furuta case is that:
A) Japanese police are really bad at their jobs (or at least were)
B) The Japanese desire to be polite seemingly overrides their self-preservation instinct.
How did they have the guts to hit pearl harbor? O_O

@GooseAlarm some kamikaze pilots were also chosen and programmed from birth... their entire lives were focused solely on the mission... there are some very interesting documentaries here on YT... they were treated like celebrities... and it was an honor to sacrifice their lives for their country!
Your respect for the victims/families while conveying the graphic details is so admirable, this case will stick with me. My heart breaks that no one could escape or come forward in order to stop this man’s maniacal rampage. This is more than sad, there’s no words to describe how this made me feel. Rest In Peace to all victims Junko and Mika did not have a way out for so long.

Yeah him and Coffee House Crime are really good about this.
@@TheQueenOfSheba absolutely love them both among a few others who always come through with lesser known international cases
Not to mention his pronunciation of Japanese names and places is absolutely spot on too 👌
@@michaelpearce4632 ikr? I always thought he did a fabulous job with such hard pronunciations.. I would’ve butchered them not on purpose of course but he really handles them well..
There are very few people, even after watching far too much True Crime content for my own good, that I would feel comfortable calling "pure evil". Most of these killers/abusers come from horrific upbringings and deal with immense mental illness/trauma, which doesn't outright excuse their actions, but I can at least sympathize with them on some level.
Futoshi, however, is pure evil, and I'm more confident stating that about him than I ever felt when using those words. What Futoshi did is nothing short of demonic, and I sincerely hope that there's an afterlife that's horrific enough to take him once he's finally dead.
May his victims rest in peace/find the strength to continue on, and may this monster meet the end he deserves.
Before I read the "MORE" part of your post, I almost had a heart attack :)
YES, a lot of criminals never had a chance. It did not sound that way for this guy. He was just a MONSTER.
I go back and forth on there being an afterlife but just imagining a God judging him and punishing him is very satisfying
Definitely pure evil and one of the worst monsters I have heard of. He has the devil in him.
I too can sympathize with even the most horrific individuals, but Futoshi deserves and receives no sympathy.
I refrain from saying this as a Christian, but I truly pray this man is burning in Hell. I am in no position to be a judge, but he deserves his eternal sentence.
if you are looking at things like that than acording to you there is no evil in the world
I agree on some level...the fractured mind/ spirit must have played a part in the evil that occurred.
In some of these instances, the neighbors should have been held accountable as well
@@coysimpson1557 there's a big difference in calling the cops for a welfare check because someone sounds like they're being tortured next door, and "cancelling" someone because they offended you or hurt some snowflakes feelings. Give your head a shake.
Wtf no... what a bad take
@@chadp363 over your head I see….sorry for assuming and wasting your time.
I totally agree
Sadly, Japanese culture doesn't work like that. If you see someone being harassed on the street and step in to help, you become liable for anything that happens as you're "butting in". Unless the victim is actively yelling for help, it's not your business.
I'm not saying it's right, it's just how it is over there.
Its really infuriating how little the Japanese police investigate actual suspicious cases while going nuts for minor crimes.
I lived in Japan for a while and I got pulled over on my bike for "passing the police car suspiciously" while it was sitting in the middle of the road. I was interrogated in their cop car for an hour and a half because the bike was registered to a different name (borrowed bike from where I was living) and they thought my ID was fake because I didnt look American (Japanese, raised in America).
If only they put that amount of effort into actual criminals.
Real criminals are scary and dangerous, much easier to bust regular people for petty crime or nothing at all
They are too scared to involve themselves in such cases even if it is their job
I just don't understand how one guy can brainwash and manipulated so many people and none of those people ever retaliated? He must have targeted the weakest people, mentally and physically. Even then, this is something unthinkable.
The odds are you have been manipulated at some point and may not even know it or in denial. And if you watch a particular news channel or go along with one political party you bet your ass you're being manipulated.
japan isn't real
Agreed. Like im sorry for them.. but entire family not doing anything? How cowardly are they..
Like I lost respect immediately for the husband when he just started offering money and begging while he was assaulting his wife.
And for them to start IDOLIZING him is just insane to me. I almost didn’t feel bad for them. They had ample time to react or even beat him up. Like it was all of them against 2 people and they just didn’t do anything it’s weird.
we always assume only the weakest of our society could be ever manipulated and that it could never be us. all it needs is a janus-faced someone who is invested enough in you to nose out your achilles' heel and hone in on it. charlatans don't trot around in black coats, offering magical snake oil... they are most often the people you consider your friend. that man was tortured and killed by matsunaga, someone he considered his dear friend hence trusting him with his secrets. it's easy to assume to think these people were slow-witted because there's no way you would trust matsunaga, someone who ardently lies but that is the narrative of the video. if he or anyone else just came up to you one day, would you assume the worst from them? or would you give a friendly stranger the benefit of the doubt? so who is to say you wouldn't trust him or other machiavellians alike?

I hear that. I'm not trying to blame the victims, but it's unfathomable to me that he was able to abuse and control so many people for such an extended period of time without some kind of uprising by the family. Similarly to what you said, test me for timidity one time, and the response will be devastating and immediate.

I know what you mean, so truly empathize but it is so mind blowing
When someone hits this level of evil, they don't deserve human rights. This is one of the most revolting cases I've heard about.
The way that he was able to just simply walk in to a house one day and completely take over all their lives and then take most of those lives… it’s just mind boggling.
It’s important to know that Japanese houses have much thinner walls. Winter is more harsh, so what he did was another level of messed up. This all is so unreal.
Thanks for covering these famous Japanese cases. There's an infamous case of 7 consecutive mysterious deaths in a town near mine called Kumatori. I don't think any English speaking UA-camrs have really covered it yet and it would be interesting to see
You have NO IDEA how long I've waited for you to cover this... Well, you do... I've been hounding you for a while now 😅...
In all seriousness, thank you for covering this. It's one of the most shocking crimes out of Japan and it was no surprise that the Japanese media tried to keep this case out of public view. Just shows how vile Futoshi Matsunaga was.
I’ve been really enjoying your content too lately. Good work, dude!
@@rachaelgraceblack Thanks Rachel! I really appreciate it. After I covered this case and learned of Dire Trip and his knowledge of Japanese crimes, I was desperate for him to cover this case.

or how sus the gov't controlled media iz
It's impressive how 2 abled-body men didn't do anything in this hell. Like their passiveness & obedience sealed their fate & especially in Kazuya's case, his entire family.
Thats Japan for you
Men can be cognitively or emotionally vulnerable too which causes them to be susceptible to abuse
I'm shocked humans are capable of such heinous acts. Being a human can be a gift and a curse.
I'm not... Humans (not all) are a despicable species. Feeling like we're at the top of everything gives some a feeling of superiority. With that lots become horrendous creatures.
I am not
They had knives. Items around them that could be used to defend themselves. They had so many opportunities to defend themselves. So many chances to change everything.
What "Mika" went through is the worst thing I've ever heard and I've watched A LOT of true crime videos.
Some people sound extreme in wanting to control others. It seems like they enjoy controlling unrelated figures.
It pisses me off that truly evil "people" that are sentenced to death stay on death row for soooo damn long. End these terrible "people" ASAP!
I think they should wait ..it adds to their discomfort ….
@@tinamcintyre6797 Living on the tax payer money for nearly 2 decades. What a trageeeedy...
@@guilhermehank4938 exactly. If they did horrible things, they should be ended, horribly. Nothing like saying "ok, you're dying tonight" to someone. I bet it doesn't feel great to hear. Lol
That they dont have Go Take any responsibility
death penalty is intentionally slow because if theres any evidence that the person didnt do it, was manipulated / forced, and so on, you can stil go and release it and undo your mistake
if you just kill it asap, you cant magically revive the person
i mean, i do think some bad people like this do deserve it, but changing the system and making things worse for innocents sucks, just for what, to speed up the kill of someone that is unlikely to be a harm to society due to being on death row?
if we go with the guess that 4-5% of the people jailed are there unfairly (which is what i see thrown around a lot) that means 1 out of every 20 people did nothing, so giving time to find evidence that might save those 1/20 is certainly important
people always point out we're paying for criminals to live happily but like, army spends tons and tons of money on a lot of failed projects, like that camo that wasnt useful and costed a lot of millions, some money to potentially give innocent people a chance to be saved from being executed unfairly isnt even that bad
Truly amazing coverage on a disgusting horrible and unthinkable crime
Who kills and tortures children? This whole story infuriates me beyond words.
I’m still amazed how Dire Trip always seems to find stories I’ve never heard before! Kudos DT 👏👏👏
How the hell is this ONE dude gonna to hold Mika's whole family hostage?!?! If a criminal did that to me and my family we would have attacked him period end of story.🤬😤🙄
For real
It’s always amazed me how so many people are manipulated and bamboozled by people because their job status or where they went to uni.
I couldn’t give a rats arse if you graduated from kings college and are a brain surgeon, if your a see you next Tuesday , that’s all I care about.
Exactly how I am too.
As someone who dropped out of college and know people from both walks I will say, people with college education are pretentious assholes with little to no common sense. I’d rather take anyone who has an understanding of physical life than someone who’s lived their life immersed in computers or books. Book smarts almost never equals street smarts and book smarts are really useful in a work setting that pertains to such.
@@iXmetalXi that's such a reductive viewpoint. there's book smart people with street smarts, it's not a black and white situation and not everyone fits so neatly into your little categories. i personally prefer people who can think about things beyond what they can see with their eyes and who can enrich their own world or have a rich inner life. edit: I dropped out of college too, that doesn't mean one has to become a dullard.
in japan, it's different. college is viewed differently than it is in the states.
@@princesstamika problem is those with “higher education” are harder to get to think outside of their box. Like I said I’ve seen people from all walks. I’m not saying it’s all, just a majority. Thinking quick and outside the box is hard to do if you live your life strictly by the steps of the scientific method.
Two of the most horrific crimes I've heard so far happened in Japan and both involve kidnapping, torture and murder. One is obviously this one, the other being the tragic case of Junko Furuta.
If the maniac in this case here is enough to upset and infuriate us, he's at least been properly sentenced, while the murderers of Junko Furuta are now walking free. A true monstrosity.
I'm sorry but how stupid, naive and frightened can multiple men under the same household be!?!?!?
my first thoughts also.. to have two children and not defend them with your life if needed is just unthinkable for me.. since i dont have any children and i would still die for a strangers child..i cant imagine what i would do for mine
Learn more about asian people and culture...u will understand why they are different then us and so helpless..mostly for this are responsible : poor difficult stressed lives,pretty conservative and submissive country , criminal power over a pretty useless defense system...etc...its truly depressing once u get to understand more...
@@aaeyeshadowinthedark Facts 💯%
Fr like you live with the psycho, he has to sleep soon🔪
It's different culture. Little empathy and individuality to the point that people lack self-respect and self-preservation. People just leave distressed children on streets to die fearing that talking with them asking what's wrong would make others look at them "funny". Another case where 12 year girl escaped her captor and tried asking help on the street. Was ignored. 2 times! 2 different times of escape... Spineless people.
Thank Christianity for establishing western morals. It's partly why westerners are never going to ignore small children in distress and will risk to "inconvenient" themselves to help others. Let less smart to hate it, but Christianity is what set standards and made us what we are. Morals, etc. it's ingrained into our society and souls.
How intimidating was this guy to prevent a whole family from attacking him
By surprise?

I don't get it at all. This seems unbelievable. He would get the cops called or killed by captors in any realistic story.

I wouldnt. Thanks for covering all the details
Yeah when that part came up I genuinely felt sick, not many things rattle me but that one really got to me, I want to cry imagining how horrible that must have been for her and her father and I have so much respect for her to be able to continue living after that
How did you know I was about to research this! I was looking for a comprehensive video for a quick description to do more reading so thank you so much!!!
This entire case is horrifying and infuriating... I really hope "Mika" is able to have some semblence of "normal" after all she went through. I hope the other children involved have also had as normal of a life as possible growing up. I know it won't change anything they've been through, but I hope life is kind enough to them to make up for the horrors they lived through.
i love these videos so much, ive always been interested in crime stories because my ma always watched them. feels good to finally have a channel that goes into all the details and gives me more of an understanding to what these people fully experienced.
U should check out Stephanie harlow and Emma Kenny, Emma works with the police and can tell u what a lot of criminals are like behind bars, Stephanies videos are over an hour but she goes into major detail
Dire Trip, one of the top reasons I like your channel, is because you do a lot of stuff from Japan! I love listening to you pronounce the language and tell us interesting little tid-bits about the local history. Thank you for everything!
So you are telling me 6 grown people couldn't take down 1 small guy...
Great coverage. Most detailed rundown I've seen. Nice work 👍👍
Fully deserving of the death penalty.
It is a great shame and somewhat unbelievable that he was never picked up by the police for the fraud, it sounds like they didn't look for him very hard.
The negative side of the Japanese proclivity to not to get involved or intervene in others business or family life is very much on display here, if I heard the sounds of someone being tortured I would check up on them even if it meant cutting through their door with an axe, it's not the sort of sound someone can pass off in an innocent way without some sort of horrible accident, in old times things were perhaps less bad as the village style community held a large part of the social life and everyone knew each over very well, the breakdown of that is one of the negative aspects of westernisation.
Yeah it’s like the worst of both worlds combined to create whatever the heII THIS is
too protracted. it'stime to have the insta-firingsquad, no hood
Westernisation is a good thing. It allows a justice system to exist.
@@charliekelly735 Justice system?

Glass bottles, tasers, your hands, sleep deprivation, and sexual abuse can cause plenty of damage

Get us hungry with Hello Fresh and ruin our appetite with the rest of the video.... o ho ho! 🤪
Always glad to see any new content from you, but I personally miss the in full detail series. Would love to see another episode.
Oh wow, I actually watched a video about this within this week. I think I searched it up from a comment someone left on a video of yours mentioning him!
This is far more detailed and horrific, however. I appreciate the amount of research you put into this, and the fact you don't gloss over details.
Wow, this channel exploded, started watching back when he only had about 20K subs, I knew DT would take youtube by storm.
I had to stop listening. I lived there while some later stuff was going on. Media would love to report but the government restricts them, you know because Japan is "a crime free" country. More criminal things happened there in three years than my whole life is America, especially to me personally. Two ten year olds murdered a child in our neighborhood pond but miraculously it was never on the news. The rape and suicide is out of control. But, this case? It’s hard to imagine him being charming. He looks ornery in every picture. What’s up with his eyebrows? It’s hard to imagine him being a ladies man but I’ll say, it’s pretty obvious he targeted less attractive women in hardship. I hate the victim blaming in Japan. They shouldn’t be ashamed. They’re so quiet. I always screamed at those perverts in Japanese and they sulked away like a defeated insect. I wish I knew Junko and “Miko." I’d go ballistic on that monster. 😡
Its a balance between reporting and not reporting.
Japan being a free crimes and safe country is just a label the government made for pure reputation
Love how you post videos and how I love every single detail!
This case blows my mind. Like was any of this exaggerated over the years/lost in translation? It's just hard to comprehend.
My question is How?? How?? How does anyone let someone do that to them? Let alone 7 people with 2 grown adult males?? What??? Huh??
Some people are smart in all the wrong ways

If you read only news in English, of course you wouldn't hear them, but if you follow Japanese news, they are reported in detail.

I just notice a lot of comments about how Japan doesn't put into press their crimes, how Japanese don't know what is going on in Japan, etc., so wanted to point out that if people only read English news, they're not going to get a very realistic view of what Japanese know about their own country.
Wow your content is special. You should go viral!
Amazing content! Thank you!
💜
Thanks for the details that I haven't heard of elsewhere. I just want to add a small one. When Junko attempted suicide, her parents called an ambulance but asked them to turn off the siren because they didn't want the neighbors to know that there was a drama going on in their family. Saving face had a higher priority than their daughter's safety to them. It seems like this was a bit too much even to the Japanese standard. Not wanting to get embarrassed at all cost was the family's big weakness. And Futoshi understood it and took advantage of it too well.
This is fucking insane, how can grown men let this happen to their family
Also all the neighbors who just don't fucking call the police when they hear fucked up stuff is beyond me this whole thing is.
I wish I could talk to miko and hear her story
I don't think it is a good idea to her, it is hard to express it

Some of the details of this case reminded me of another Japanese movie called Cold Fish, the way the guy is able to work his way into the family and manipulate was very similar. Plus the couple on a killing spree. I thought that film was disturbing and knowing that it was probably inspired by this case makes even more so.
I looked it up and Cold Fish is actually based on a different true story, the murders done by Sekine Gen and Hiroko Kazama. Absolutely crazy.
They did make a story based on this it's on Netflix and it's called "The Forest of love" if you watched Cold Fish it's up that same alley of creepiness.

I dig your style. I watch several true crime and dark content channels. I think you have a future in it.
The fact that 1 man could imprison 7 people doesn't make sense to me...
the fear of humiliation is why such crimes keep continuing and being unreported
Bro was light without the deathnote
This is such a bizarre case I couldn’t imagine ever hurting my family
How fitting, I just finished THE FOREST OF LOVE: DEEP CUT, the Sion Sono miniseries based on this case. Shockingly accurate to the real case, even down to the electrocution and dismembering. How one man could do so much evil and enact so much cruelty is mind-boggling to me, and the fact he didn't even directly kill a single person is even more horrifying.
One I love that u show the food..😁 two as someone that lived on Okinawa for almost 10yrs your research and understanding into these crimes is amazing. So glad I found your channel.
This is one of the top 3 most brutal crimes of Times. Update on anyone involved would be very interesting. Thank you brother.
