The Deranged KILLER Predator with 400+ Victims | Joji Obara
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Out in Japan, we have the case of a multi-millionare with an extreme obsession with white women, leading him on a crime spree that would ultimately consist of 400 different victims... some of them living through their ordeal, and some of them not.
Once again, thank you for the support, everyone.

I'm finding a theme in your vids about Japanese cases; most often they've been allowed to happen due to incompetent police officers not taking anything seriously
A lot developing and first world countries have an incompetent justice system
That's just the police being the police,, useless as always ^___^
I love when weebs espouse the virtues of Japan and how perfect and safe it is. The crime rate is so low!! Yeah maybe because shit gets swept under the rug so often lol.
Bc that's how Japan is😭? The police and the whole country minds their business way too much and believe their country is so good that nothing bad can ever happened, which is true for the most part but this view makes them blind to very obvious red flags(or at least obvious to most ppl) and makes the police pretty dumb
Not incompetent, it's pretty well known that the police don't bother companies or the rich unless there's a massive crisis in Japan. Like Korea, if you're rich or own a successful company you can do basically whatever they want.
It's unbelievably frustrating that he got away with it for so long. The police should be ashamed of themselves and honestly don't deserve their jobs. My condolences to everyone whos lives were ruined by this monster.
wah wah

japan is infamous for ignoring things of a sexual nature
your parents must be brother and sister
Japanese police only care about sure-thing convictions. They're notorious for giving up if they can't guarantee a win in court, and will routinely detain people for "questioning" and isolation until the person they dragged in caves and submits a confession or they have to let them go after about a month.
When I was 18 (many years ago) I was offered a job in Japan as a golf caddy and companion for wealthy businessmen. I was a 5'2", curvy, blonde, _very_ pale skinned, blue eyed white woman. I was seriously considering the job, but was tipped off by a Japanese woman, a friend of my mother, that I shouldn't go, that it wasn't truly safe. I'm glad I listened.
I’m glad you didn’t
Me to. White meat is precious.

~"Some of his videos lasted up to 12 hours with the same victim.." *What an absolute nightmare of a situation, and to think how many victims there were.. Ugh
Yeah but let’s not forget they were unconscious
@@frankthetank8050the body remembers. Look up paitents with surgery trauma. Paitents' minds were unconscious, but the body was not :(
@@frankthetank8050 okay, and what's your point?
Joji was determined as fuck to get as many as he could and as much as he could. Frikking maniac for sure.
@@frankthetank8050so if that happened to your wife and she was unconscious it wouldn’t matter?
It took me about half this video to realize- I read a whole book about this case. (People Who Eat Darkness) (It was actually quite good. I don't typically like such books.) Oddly enough it was the name of the town that made me realize it, "Roppongi".
I did too!
@@missannaliese *high five
This book is like a non fiction book about this case? That's very interesting-thank you for posting the title! Do you recommend it? Looking for something different to read. . .
@@melissamason9478 It is a non-fiction book, about the whole case. I listened to an audiobook and it kept my interest the whole time. You could always give it a chance. I lose interest in a lot of books, especially such non-fiction books about famous cases (like Helter Skelter), bc they're normally dry and boring, but this wasn't like that. I do recommend it. :)
@chrisandrew6633 awesome! You basically just narrated what happens to me when I read sometimes too lol thank you for the recommendation!

Can we appreciate
“Property owner & Proprietor of a pachinko establishment”
Low key a tongue twister
Took several takes, to be honest
The fact that there is not one picture of this coward from the time the trial was happening shows the level of protection a wealthy man gets in Japan. Even from the japanese media. As for the police and judicial system, it is just horrible. And a shame. For a culture --that of NIppon-- that is based on shame-avoidance (just like western is guilt-avoidance), the concept of what is shameful over there is certainly strange.
I believe most defendants get this treatment as privacy laws in Japan are taken very seriously, it isn't just rich people, or men.
Most criminals want those things. It's the area they're in that determines if they have those rights
You know you really don’t care and it’s okay gajin
@@fullsendcirca9255just cause you lack basic empathy doesn’t mean others do too
He is a naturalized Korean living in Japan.
50 dollars an hour in the 90s tho!!the cops probably scoffed at them because they make dog shit in comparison
That's a lot of money it's $120.15 an hour now.
Ahhh my week is complete now I have a dire trip video to watch. Blessings 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊️🕊️🕊️
Ohhh.. I thought it was a case I didn't know about until you said Joji Obara. I didn't know that stuff about his background like he was born a Korean. Good video.
I’ve heard this case before, but you brought to light, a few aspects about it, that I’ve never heard mentioned by the numerous other channels who have covered it.
I guarantee you that the Japanese people *DON'T* consider Joji Obara to be a Japanese man, since his parents were Korean. In fact, I doubt Japanese people have much sympathy for the victims and feel zero responsibility for these crimes, since Japanese consider both the killer and the victims to be 'foreigners'.
You’re just making assumptions, that is not the case. If anything, these days they’re overly conscious of their geopolitical allies.
geopolitics are far from intrasocietal discrimination. its like thinking about discrimantion of black peole in US based on their relations with african countries. if you want to counter op bring some subsance, cause considering basic knowledge about japanese korean relations and discriminantion of ethnic koreans in japan, id rather believe op than you @@AYVYN
@@AYVYN😂😂😂😂The world outside the W West is completely different. They dont care in other countries. They dont care.
@@halfdome4158 Without allies, China would takeover their trading hubs. Use your brain. I understand the world, you think you understand the world
@@AYVYNlmao you dont understand the first thing about asian people 😂
Cool, im absolutely sick as shit. I needed some quality videos to help me sleep this shit off. Mom got sick in Honduras, sister got sick in Vegas. Im sick by association
Sending you feel better Cali hippy mom vibes! ✌️
same lol, hope you feel better soon
feel better homie
Yeah, you're totally sick dude 😎✌️ hope you all get better soon though, binge some UA-cam and rest up..hot chicken soup goes a long way too!
Sunlight helps, maybe not for the sick, but it helps cheer you up. Feel better soon
His opinion of "foreign hostesses" is rich coming from what is effectively a Zainich Kankokujin. Who would never be seen as truly Japanese no matter how many name changes or facial reconstructions.
I read a book about Joji Obara 'People Who Eat Darkness' by Richard Lloyd Parry and it ended up being one of the scariest, unnerving non fiction books I've ever read. High recommend.
Surgery on his eyes "to what he felt made him look less Korean" lmao I'm dead
"A lack of concrete evidence" made me cringe, knowing her head was encased in concrete. Im sure he didnt catch it and it wasnt intentional
Yeah that's ridiculous they came to that conclusion at one point because the victim was literally encased in concrete.. Around the coastline near his property in a sea side cave.. Such a crazy case. It genuinely seems like These super wealthy criminals get the opportunity to do whatever they want sometimes.
@@benmcreynolds8581 I was mainly just talking about those words in the script being used unintentionally when speaking on his first trial for his actions. If it was intentional, that's some dark shit
@@benmcreynolds8581 I thought this was gonna be that cannibal Japanese guy, at first. Alot of similarities between the two culprits
ngl this part stopped me in my tracks 💀💀💀💀💀
@@JK-gm6kk I don't think it was intentional by dire trip. I think it was the legit statement the officials said about the case & the trail. I don't get how the officials came to that conclusion
I need easy money, so instead of finishing education and/or get a job in familiar, safe environment I'll go to exotic country and I'll be a hostess in high risk environment. 👏 😴
It's not the safest thing to do. I wouldn't want my daughters to do this in my country, even less in a foreign country where they don't know the laws and where it's known that powerful people get away with everything. "Lucy" look à lot like my younger daughter and what happened to her is the nightmare of every father, and every woman alike.
One of the best parts about Sundays is new Dire Trip videos!
This guy is the epitome of weakness, self-loathing and shallowness.
In my humble opinion, I thought Japan was a very safe country because of how effective the police were, but now I see that it was only because of the voluntary law-abiding citizens. The police were useless in so many ways and for so many years that they should be ashamed of themselves.
Prayers for the victims and their families. 🙏❤️
wait til you realize its neiter but underreporting, especially concering sexual assault
There are numerous films based on true events depicting how useless they are. Maybe the films are embellished but it gives you a good idea of their incompetence
also wait until you realize the numbers are fudged. they just want gaijin to think there's less crime than there actually is. also that voluntary law-abiding citizens thing includes under-reporting to not cause strife or more shame.
Japan is a safe country, only for the males tho
The police are are rubbish because they don’t have to solve many crimes, maybe?
When the description of hostess bars started, I knew this was the Lucie Blackman case
Absolutely disgusting men and disturbing.
Looking forward to what you're sharing here. Thank you for doing what you do.
"It was a purely political move" also known as a lie 😂
At work and I see a new Dire Trip video is ready to go. Thanks for making my day more bearable, Kyle.
How are criminals so stupid? Recording their crimes, keeping journals, bringing their phone with them, not immediately asking for a lawyer when the cops interrogate them
Aren't you glad for the fact?
He got away with it for decades, he simply got too cocky
Who’s more stupid, the guy who got away with it 399+ times or the cops who let him get away with it 399+ times?
Sometimes i like to believe they make these "flaws" because deep down they really feel guilty and know they're wrong and want to get caught
For that person it was probably part of the "fun" process to write things down, catalog his illegal acts. (in his sick way he probably enjoyed the whole process of it. Like a secret illegal routine) *I cannot relate to these monsters at all, I'm only guessing because in my younger years when I was growing my own weed & selling, i got into the habit of Journaling and writing down all the different aspects of what I was doing (even tho it was illegal and stupid) but it was a fun aspect, managing my work. I was already doing illegal stuff so I didn't really care about making a notebook. It was stupid but luckily I made it thru those years of my life and turned things around and now it's just a aspect of my past that feels like a completely separate life I once lived.
My condolences to all the victims familys❤
I mean..400 victims..wtf is wrong with some folks?
He would have gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for those meddling girls
Yayyyy it’s a deep dive vid! You’re part of my Sunday night routine now. Thanks for the hard work you put in!
Very good video Kyle, despite it being about a disgusting human being
23:58 lmao you dead ass said "lack of 'concrete' evidence" after having stated they found her head encased in a block of concrete xD
One thing to note about Japanese culture is a lot of them are openly and proudly racist. Lots of bars and restaurants outside of tourist areas have signs that say "NO FOREIGNERS". They especially hate if you live there.
A friend of mine who I met when he was here in the US for an exchange program at NYU was born/raised in Tokyo, but he looks african american because he's mixed. It doesn't matter if you can speak perfect japanese and have a japanese passport, they just don't want you in their establishment.
We once tried going to a random bar/club and the host said that I am welcome in but he had to leave. I'm a chinese american dude born/raised in NYC.
It doesn't surprise me at all that the police there have this attitude towards non-asian looking people. Most people and places are there cool, but a lot of them are not.
Mind if I ask when you had that experience? I only ask because the problem seems to be getting better from what I've seen. I haven't seen any no foreigner signs in a good while now
@@diretrip I had this experience in 2019. It is absolutely getting better. When I went in the early 2000s I was with 3 white college friends, and the bars/clubs were roughly 50% no foreigners.
@@diretrip love your videos, btw. your production value has gone way up.
Europe is very accepting and look what à disaster these countries are today. I can't blame them.
How did the Japanese determine the difference between Chinese and Japanese?
Great deep dive, Kyle. Thanks for your hard work!
Japan is one of the most racist places against non Japanese it's sad but true especially when you look at how accepting other places are with japanese and their culture.
Been to Japan twice . I’m a black woman. Never experienced a bit of racism while there. In fact, they were almost too nice. If you expect that everyone is going to be racist,your attitude and aura will negatively impact how you treat others
You are the one who is discriminatory.
A horrible man but you covered the case very well! I appreciate the respect you show to the families of the victims and the victims themselves.
Yeah, I remember reading a Moebius comic back as a kid and it "humorously" had one panel where a dude, immediately upon escaping slavery or prison or, something, said something along the lines of, "And now to begin my campaign of revenge against society!"
It's wild because, the same concept was explained by this murderer here, this notion of being wronged by "society" and the child-like desire to enact a campaign of revenge against it, it sounds so stupid, it is how little children think, yet, it is also extremely common for all kinds of baddies to be driven by that exact thought.
I mean, this dude.... He inherits enough money to have true freedom, he can do absolutely anything, never has to work, always will have money to blow, he is truly just FREE in a way so few people will ever, ever know... And all he can think to do with this ability to do ANYTHING, is to destroy as many at-risk women as possible.... because, like a little baby, he is mad at the "society" that made him filthy rich, despite not having earned a dime, or done anything of value, for anyone.
idk, it's just wild to me how some "men" think.
This case too, and this is only tangentially related, but I think it goes to show that all the money in the world, all that gets you, is a whole bunch of money. You cease to have actual real-world physical problems, so all your innate drives and stuff, send you into the depths of introspective nightmares... When you can't cover the rent, that is a very specific thing to stress about. You need a dentist appointment, but have no insurance. You spend hours each day doing what all u gotta do to keep the lights on and food in your belly, and that right there, that's a human life.
You start pushing up dddddf84rr4ffff4ffffffffffffffffffffdffffdddfdffddfffdddxxxxxxxxxx
I know japan isn't a 3rd world country but I remember seeing a lot of white women traveling alone in 3Rd world countries being naive and sometimes not understanding they're a major pray world wide . Please be safe ladies
Your cuts and script reading has gotten better. Cheers!
Everything time I hear " the police didn't take them seriously" in cases like these piss me off like that's your job y couldn't they at least look into it
I really miss your old thumbnails man, they were very characteristic of you and I was able to know it was your videos. Still looks cool though!
as others have said, "concrete evidence" oof. not meaning to criticize your word usage, Dire. The criminal system in Japan is ridiculous. Their statistics are insane too. Check out another vid on their skewed homeless statistics. Not as intense as this vid but quite revealing.
Never heard of this one. This is new to me.
Always having the best and interesting cases 👍🏿
I read a true crime novel on this case years ago. I couldn't remember his name. Thanks for covering this one.
'People Who Eat Darkness ' by Richard Lloyd Parry?
He took drugs and he also wanted revenge on the world? Whyyy, because he is rich, has everything he wanted and sx everyday ? Yea, poor him, the world is cruel, lol.
Good timing on this as Netflix has a movie called "Missing: The Lucie Blackman Case".
As a person living in the west it shocks me there were so many whites women not believed
Can't think of anything to say, really, but I wanted to leave a comment for the Algorithm Gods. As usual.
Great video, as always! Thank you for sharing your talent for storytelling and your time!
"concrete evidence" bit of a dark way to phrase it 😮
Japanese cases are so cool cause they're rare. Crime is so low there, epecially cases like this.
It's rare, but also way underreported.
I’ve never seen a bear but I know my country has thousands
400 is crazy
Looks like the antagonist won in the end of story.
rocking the emo look man.
I love how DireTrip seems to be the only person with these insights of Japanese and Chinese crimes
Lazy masquerade is a good one as well
At least this monster got justice in the end, even though it took forever.
dire trip helping us cover up murders one video at a time
yet telling on yourself with that comment lol
400?? Jesus, i wish there existed superheroes irl to prevent this..
Vigilantes. Like the Punisher.
Always a more interesting day when Dire drops a new Trip. 🙏🖤✌️
This dude was an absolute monster. So many victims.

Hi, Kyle. I wanted to say a few words because my health is deteriorating and I may die soon. I really wanted to support your patreon because you're the best and only true crime channel I watch nowadays, but unfortunately I have too much medical debt to donate.
I love your sense of humor and the way you explain the cases clearly. I'm very happy to see your channel thriving. I know you've lived here and Japan and if you ever decide to visit the Aichi-ken prefecture, I wish I could at least treat you to a meal (although it would have to be at a cheaper chain restaurant due to my financial difficulties.)
I was a vitctim of money extortion, sexual and physical assault here in Japan for 3 years and got no justice and that person is free at this moment (due to him being a minor at the time when the age of majority for crimes was still 29 years old). Goes to show the incompetency of the Japanese police that is shown evidently in this video.
Although my mental health has led to suicide attempts that left physicall consequences and bad coping behavior like substance abuse, I still have faith I will be able to get back on track again and eventually be employed and have some spare money to support my favorite true crime channel.
If you ended um reading this comment, thank you again for your hard work. You're the best!
I read it! I'm sorry to hear about your health. Don't even worry about donating. Prioritize yourself first.
What a good guy ^^
Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing, and wishing you all the best
Hey, we strangers on the internet are in your support. Come back here every month with an update on how things are going! looking forward ti hearing from you
OP I’m sorry for the many unfortunate circumstances of your life. I sincerely hope you are blessed with a more fortunate and peaceful life.
Hope you’re doing better.
You will have 1m subs soon keep going 💪
Well….im gonna need a shower…A really Really longs one.
But Good Video Lad, your story telling is as great as ever👏🏽
To cope with the Japanese police must be the most frustrating thing ever. They are either snapping at people in disbelief or doing nothing.
Another reason why hooked up culture is bad
Ooh! I like to see these videos that you used to put up Kyle!
your work is as always interesting and well put together thank you again
A Korean born, Japanese native in post WW2 China. .
I'm sure it was natural causes.
A bloody disgrace this maniac could of been caught a lot earlier if the police would only listen to what the was being told and not brush it off
"a lack of concrete evidence..." that's some dark humor right there.
Another painful video… idk why I watch I find it very interesting but it also makes my heart hurt.
I love this channel
early as hell lets go
Joji ?
Damn, Filthy Frank really went to the deep end ever since he quit UA-cam
Thank goodness this isn't the other Joji. That one is living his best life.
filthy frank?
Joji (or Jōji) is a common Japanese name with several spellings and meanings.
In the case of the Joji you're talking about, it's simply the Katakana transliteration of his real name George.
pink guy?
Bo, pachinco parlor proprietor. I love the alliteration!!!
Money again the root of most evil 👿
Hey, I was wondering how you came up with the name of your channel- I really like it!
"dark trip" was too generic haha
@@diretrip well I think you chose perfectly and your videos are excellent! Thanks for all the quality entertainment 😁
Just the absolute sexism of the japanese police, disregarding all those reports and only investigating after international pressure smh
It's so sad that certain police officers or the police system doesn't take stuff seriously until it's too late it's heartbreaking
He's KOREAN.
He really looks like korean actor byung hun lee
Not just looks though lmao
Hi Kyle happy new year all the way from Cape Town,South Africa Love Your Videos ❤
I had to laugh when you said he was high on his status as well as actual drugs
What is it about these people born into stupid amounts of money always wanting "revenge on the world"? I know ìts an issue of entitlement and every time they're told no they see it as a grave injustice but holy shit
That's why people got to stop being naive about japan.crimes are everywhere and anyone of all back ground can be criminals.
This criminal is a Korean resident in Japan.
I don't even care that it's 9pm, I'm gonna be watching this right now
The Japanese law enforcement must be haplessly poor to allow this to happen without catching him before 400 souls lost their lives!
🤦♂️
This happens all the time here in the US. All the time. Especially when, like in this case, the victims are not people the cops give a shit about. Homeless, sex workers, or even just poor. They don’t care.
No autopsy? Excuse me? WTH?
You're the best!
I know this case! A creator which I won't name for many reasons did an episode on Lucy but you definitely dove so much deeper that I didn't even realize that I recognized the case until I was a quarter of the way through! Good job bro! thanks for the upload kid😉
He’s trying to be Japanese but makes himself taller? Does he not realize Koreans height standards are higher than other Asian countries. ESPECIALLY Japan.
jesus christ there’s always old cases like this where police don’t wanna do anything because of a woman’s occupation, it’s awful that so many women became victims because they didn’t want to investigate
Have you ever considered becoming a hostess ?
@@MonTube2006 well. no because im a gay guy who doesn't live in japan
This guy's backstory sounds as if a modern day channer got isekai'd into post-war Japan
Dang Kyle, people Are SCARY!!!!!!
GREAT job on this too. Keep Rising 😊👍🏽👍
Phenomal video as always. I had never heard about him before.
Can't believe such an evil person can also make such beautiful music
I need you to upload you stuff on Spotify so I can listen to your show while I work!!! 🙏💜😋
He was 'naked from the waist up', also referred to as 'shirtless'. Why try to make it sound so nefarious? Naked from the waist up... Omg.😳
This guy lives the INCEL DREAM!!!
absolutely love your vids. ❤
