“I’m the man you’ve been looking for for 50 years”
Refuses to elaborate
Dies
bro is better at hiding than Joey hides from anime
😂
bfft..
Daaaaamn!!
stop bruh, you don't want the Manga Lad to see this.
This reminds me of matteo messina denaro, one of the most wanted people in the world, a terrible person who was at the top of sicilian mafia, he was found while he was under care for cancer, but everyone suspects he basically let himself be caught knowing he had not much to live
i mean he is like "do what you must, i already won". bruh
police be like "gg bruh"
There can only be one reason why he confessed. He needed to announce where he hid the one piece
pfffft

Not a psych expert, but I would guess that what makes it seem cool is just the 'epicness' of it, it does seem very theatrical like an ending to a movie. Also, it ties things up nicely, as nice as could be considering the severity of his crimes at least. His identity is revealed, he's dead, and nobody has to worry about his hidden existence anymore.
The sad part is that his family will probably have to deal with the lawsuit
If that's the case thats so fucking sad. He didn't talk with his family for 50 years. I would hate him even more
How does that work? There's no one to sue, no one to convict. The dude's dead. His family wasn't involved in his lunacy.
@@alex1sandulache I don't know how it works in a case like this but Japan does unfortunately pass down the debts of your family onto you if your family member cannot pay them. Again, not sure if this continues even into death and if the loved ones can be sued in place of a terrorist. I think it was Aki, though, who recently spoke on family members being now eligible to be sues if a member throws themselves in front of a train, as the cost of cleanup and delays is exensive and affects everyone aboard.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley No, that's because it's debt. Debt can be inherited and also be rejected but criminal charges will not be passed down.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValleyFirst, in Japan, your family's debts will not be passed on to you unless you are a joint guarantor for them. And you're probably talking about railroad suicide. However, it seems that you are confusing civil damages lawsuits with criminal lawsuits.
I would imagine that after its been confrimed who he is, then they're just going to write up a report and call it case closed.
As a Japanese person, I was expecting you to talk about this news.
I can see where your wording 'badass' comes from (appreciate your honesty btw), and as much as I kind of do think that way, maybe to your surprise, almost no one described it like this on Japanese social media as far as I know, which I believe is a good thing, and yet I kind of feel this is why depression is so rampant here, you just cannnot live in Japan if you ever commits one single crime, no matter how serious, it will haunt you the rest of your life.
even in osaka?
@@andiiiiiiiiii how did you know OP is in Osaka?😨
@@ryana5435 i didnt, i just know theres more crime there and im interested in checking it out. i dont think it relates to op necessarily, and if does it's just a coincidence
Some called him a terrorist, but to other he's a revolutionary.
I see a lot of Japanese people find him badass though. You just looked at wrong side.
I was actually writing about this for months until news dropped, it was so crazy
How old was he when he did the crime?
@@lelnel6242 he was around 20 years old, not sure for an exact date
@@jaycemaru did people get killed in the bombings?
@@Ratched64 yeah 8 people killed & over 200 injured
what were you writing if you dont mind me asking?
It's the fact he defied the state and lived out a whole life and still had the balls to tell people in the end. It's impressive and I think we like the idea of resisting a government under their nose
I’m pretty sure he’s an evil dude, resist communism or anything against freedom aka freedom to talk shit about anything, not bombing random shit like a crazy ass clown
Turns out the bombing he was involved with, did not kill anybody. So yeah. Kinda based. Their organization was anti-japanese imperialist. They studied what happened in Korea and China, and how the Japanese treated the Ainu people, and they recognized the fact that Japan was an awful fascist nation.
The student riots and left-wing terrorism that plagued Japan in the 60s and 70s is really an under discussed topic when it comes to Japanese history... especially outside of Japan so few foreigners know about these events and their impact on modern Japanese society.
Something that Joey overlooked is that a lot of this activity was in response to the Vietnam War, and how certain portions of the Japanese population felt that Japan's indirect support for the war (by hosting US troops, providing supplies, etc.) was in violation of Japan's pacifist constitution.
The same kind of thing was happening in the West at this time, too. Anti-Vietnam War protests in the US, May 1968 in France, and so on. It really seemed like a point in history where the "old order" was losing control.
Interesting. Didn't know this. When the Vietnam War is brought up we are often taught about American protest to the war. Didn't know other countries had their own protest towards it, especially Japan which is often referred to in the sense that they occupied/colonized other Asian countries. Makes me wonder what other kinds of protest happened in Japan that go under the radar. I know in some media like anime, artist had critiques regarding situations like WW2. It would be interesting to find more information on this topic.
Yeah, so a lot of people don't know this, but the Japanese boomers experienced this era and are often more left-wing.
The goverment swept a lot of this under the rug and the red-scare strategy.
The closest I've heard about this part of Japan's history was some manga called Unlucky Young Men.
Chopper Read did a similar thing, he was dying of liver cancer and gave an interview to Australia's 60 Minutes. He straight up started confessing to numerous murders knowing he'd never see the repercussions.
Although in Chopper's case some of the people who knew him and were with him at the time of some of the murders (or talked to him about it and were friendly enough to get true answers) said he made up his involvement in those deathbed confession murders so that he could get paid for a last interview and leave the money to his wife.

Bro japan has a low crime rate but the crimes are so heinous and traumatising
Is it just me, or is Japan like an on/off switch. It's like they have no middle ground, but only both extremes.
Exactly
@@DacLMK I think it's that Japanese society cares too much about what others think that the people keeps things in till they break.
@@SketchingPandaRen Well, in a way that's what I said. One side pushes to one extreme, and the others who can't handle it anymore push it to the other extreme.
Interesting. However, all violent crimes are cruel. I don't think it's appropriate to compare the heinousness of each crime. In the first place, the heinousness and brutality of a crime cannot be quantified, so how one feels about it is nothing more than an individual's subjective impression. However, from a different perspective, Japanese people believe that Western society has a high crime rate and many heinous crimes. It is interesting that each side considers the crimes of the other society to be more heinous.
I was just in Japan for three months and you'd see this dudes wanted poster everywhere. I saw it in hotels,restaurants,shops,etc across the country. I was always super curious as to who he was but never looked him up. Crazy stuff.
He won one of the most messed up hide and seek game in history
12:04 "The family actually found out that he had died after he had already passed away"
"people die if they are killed"
Exactly what I was thinking lol
He pulled an “I am Kira”
Joey is starting to be like aki with the weird cult crime
in the context of 1970s (or even today), anti-imperialism and anarchism are not cults
The dude literally challenged Japan and they never found him till he was in his deathbed, the bastard won.
We appreciate your insights on this matter. You'll always have our support.
"This is the day you almost caught cpt. Jack Sparrow"
i was waiting for joey to make this news video , thank you joey fortodays video
You forgot its ya boi
he's not our boi anymore 😢
He's growing up 😭
Kongming?
Because the news was showing the wanted poster so much that one of the other criminals were caught from the exposure of being recognized.
You seem to be talking about Shigeki Kanazawa. However, it is not clear to what extent there is a connection between the Kirishima case and Kanazawa's arrest. Some say that Kanazawa's whereabouts were tipped off to the police by a member of the same organization, Yakuza
I am a bit reminded of Norwegian bank robber Martin Pedersen. He was caught trying to exchange money from a money transport robbery in Drammen in 1980. He confessed, not only to that, but a total of 19 robberies since 1974.
There certainly was a sense of "that's badass" among a lot of people.
Keep up the awesome work and videos Joey love the video
Amazing video Joey,fantastic job.
Can't blame the family. It seemed like he didn't contact them at anytime when he was hiding which I understand because he doesn't want to get caught. In return the family most likely suffered from other relatives, friends and strangers because of his act.
Hope the family doesn't have to take responsibility if it's proven that he is who he says he is. Japan have some weird laws where family members take responsibility for the actions of other family members and can be sued for that. Since he got away with it and made a fool of the police, they may have to do something to salvage their reputation.
Apparently he revealed non-public details about a bombing and a DNA test that finished after he died found him to "likely" be Kirishima.
That's fucked up, similar to North Korea.
That kinda proves his point. Not condoning his actions but if Japan is corrupt enough to be like that…well it’s no wonder.
@@idreadFell365 I mean, it isn't "corruption" in that it's the way the law is intended to work. It's more that it's a legacy of older times and a conservative culture that sticks to that sort of thing (you see similar types of things many places in the world with much broader ideas of responsibility for actions than in the west).
@@Zelmel well, it’s not like I’m singling Japan out. Everywhere is corrupt.
In my culture we call this "Perro muerto". (When you leave without paying)
my grandpa and his pals sank the yamato when they were 18 and faced zero jail time
I was in Japan (my first time travelling out of my country btw) when this man revealed himself. I was still joking with my friends about how it's just straight up impossible to find the 2 men with black-and-white photo in the poster after all these DECADES, and my jaw dropped the day after as I read the news while having ramen.
It's as badass as Joey being the Ex-Anime Man
The Japanese police ought to thoroughly investigate this matter, as it is inconceivable for an adversary of a nation to remain hidden for 50 years without the assistance of accomplices.
"State enemies"
Sounds North Korean 🤔
"State enemies"
Sounds North Korean 🤔
@@sheepketchup9059the guys is part of a literal terrorist group who committed 3 bombings he IS an enemy of japan
Nah, it's completely possible, he took advantage of the still pretty analog bureaucracy of Japan, i think a news report said he only worked cash paying jobs and had no bank account.
People can live well in Japan without using digital electronics. You can easily get a job in Japan if you are Japanese, considering they have 135 jobs for 100 people and need immigrants
My boy just said i'll go out but i'll go out in my own terms ain't nobody gonna put me down but me
That's freaking wild...
The confession to the doctor is so cinematic
Thing I am concerned about is, what if this fake ID was someone that he murdered who was homeless with no ties and took their identity. We know how the homeless community is in Japan and doubt anyone would notice. He and the group were in their hay-day back then and could have easily done it.
Not me waiting for the “its ya boy” lol
Just like how most anime villains get away with everything.
You should really consider taking classes/courses on criminal justice (Japan/Australia/America related would be perfect all around). You seem to be really interested in these matters based on your recent videos Joey!
Hello Joey Bazinga.
I'm pretty sure I read that the person next to him on the wanted posters also got caught just because the media kept showing the poster over and over and someone happened to recognize the next guy.
I think it was an interesting tale. Glad the mystery has been put to rest and Japan found their version of DB Cooper.
I saw that person's picture everywhere. I was like, "who the hell?"
The definition of; “I’m not even mad, that’s amazing”
And in about 10 ~ 15 years later they make a documentary movie about this man....
Unseen Japan did a whole series on this Terrorist Red Army group and I just binge watched it. Super dark, super sad, but super insightful and insane I had no idea this had happened in 70s Japan. It makes so much more sense, and totally suggest ya’ll to check it out. It’ll blow your mind.
Dude was literally the real life incarnation of Gol D. Roger except he was not exterminated by the police.
The craziest thing is we shall never find out how he managed to do it
It's not just in Japan. I lived in the Philippines and I kept seeing that picture as well in the intl wanted posters.
I've seen this dude's face every day when I walk past any police box for the last 12 years. It's crazy
I don't think deathbed confessions are particularly rare or cool. But it's interesting news. I vaguely remember hearing about that group in social sciences class or somewhere. I didn't know there was a guy still on the run.
They still have his picture up at the police station in my prefecture.
I knew about this on NHK before Joey uploaded it here. 👌
I just want to know how this guy managed to fly under the radar for 50 years despite his face being everywhere.
Bro became the hide and seek champion.
I feel like it's kind of like hearing old bank robber stories? like it sounds badass cause they usually happened way before we even existed so we see it with a different perspective? Still messed up what they did, but how they did it just sounds impressive.
I think the feeling is more that he was only found because he allowed it which makes the situation interesting. Basically him saying "GG EZ!" before logging out permanently.
I actually think it makes him look cowardly not badass. He waited until no one would hold him up for what he did to confess.
He was basically playing his cards until he had nothing left to lose. Why would he willingly expose himself if he’s on the run during his hay day?
It may look cowardly but it's relatable as fuck lmao. Who would expose themselves like that?
If he believed he did nothing wrong, then it's not cowardly. At least I'm assuming you're talking about "being cowardly for not owning up to what he did", but I mean, you can't own up to something if you did what you believe was right.
It would require to see what he did as wrong, which is clear he didn't as he was willing to go into hiding for 50 years. The only reason he said his name was because he didn't want to die under a fake name, it wasn't to repent or pay for his crimes.
One thing to note is that alot of these left wing Insurgent groups in the 70s grew out of frustration of generational inequality, national traumas from War, Militarization and discontent from newer generations. This was compounded by tensions in the Cold War by the Influence of the US/NATO and the USSR/Warsaw Pact.
Bro really said "I have already won. So do what you must but, you cannot do anything about it."
Bro really said "fine I'll do it myself"
We find it badass, cuz the whole thing is a flex.
> Does a terrorism
> Hides for 50 years
> Do a death bed confession (a middle finger to law enforcement)
> Refuses to elaborate
That's some Death Note shite
I don't feel either amazed by how he left out with such revelation after 50 years of runaway nor either heartless to the point of wishing to see him behind bars or even getting the death penalty. I'm probably one of the few who would feel probably as frustrated as the victims, their relatives and the japanese authorities spending their lifetime looking for that criminal.
The nice thing about him admitting it and confirming it, is that the police do not need to spend resources trying to find him. Instead can spend that time and resources to find other people.
I guess the only justice they could get now is to give his possessions to the state.
That guy could literally play Tochiro Oyama in a film.
It’s gonna weird not seeing his posters anymore…
IRL Gold D. Roger moment
Bro deserves his own movie
part of me wants to find him saying he wanted to learn a new language and see if it was just a sponsored ad
Joey's doing a side quest.
Where's the survey we have been waiting for so long?
I think it’s honestly more to do with how impressive the act is-being able to survive so long and basically go against all odds and… win, kind of like the underdog mentality.
While the individual in question was heinous, the act in being able to succeed to despite all odds is impressive.
Hadn't heard of this guy until recently, pretty wild. I'd read that a guy he'd always hang out with at the pub was trying to organise the funeral for him as he'd considered him a friend for the years that he'd known him.
The only Japanese terrorist group I had heard of previously was Aum Shinrikyo from the 90s, and that was because they'd used an outback Australian sheep station as a testing ground for the sarin gas they would later use in the Tokyo subway sarin attack. There was also an incident of seismic activity originating near the station, which after finding out that the group had hired 2 nuclear scientists from Russia and had been mining uranium, it was speculated that they had tested a bomb there.
I imagine him walking past police stations seeing his own face and being smug as shit
Wish there was an updated picture of the guy.
If nothing else, this can be an incredible inspiration for the final case in the next Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban game, whenever Capcom gets around to working on it...
In Italy Matteo Messina Denaro, one of the most wanted criminals in the world, did something quite similar, and he lived hiding close to his home his entire life. He had terminal cancer and basically let himself get caught
The best part was the guy whose photo is next to his on the wanted poster got caught because they would show the pair in the news.
This is far from being a modern notion. Look at how outlaws from the old west are viewed. Robin Hood literally never even existed, but he's still looked at as a hero who robbed the rich to give to the poor.
When you have legitimate issues that go unaddressed by legitimate establishments, anytime someone "sticks it to the man" by whatever means (deplorable or not,) there's always going to be a degree of regard and respect that some people are willing to view their actions and life with.
He was like the kid who won at hide and seek and just had to show how he won. Honestly though I think he might have told them that, as a last good deed to get this search and worries to stop. Impressive he manage to stay hidden for that long though.
I see no details on activity after Mitsubishi bombing, but up to then EAAJAF was pretty based. They bombed at first monuments praising Japanese war criminals as heroes, graves of Japanese occupiers of Korea and the symbol of colonization of Ainu indegnious people. In Mitsubishi bombing they nade two calls warning about the bomb but company ignored those and refused to evacuate the building. They seem to be heroes opposing the silence about Japanese crimes against humanity, not criminals.
when you tell me this story it feels like a video game, GG well played mate, 50 years. thats a long time! impressive! must be some achievement!
i would not say badass per say. but like i said its saying GG to the enemy player that was very good!
"He is a criminal but why his surrender feels so bad ass"
One Piece fans: "Luffy is a terrorist"
as a korean trying to find supplementary studying recently, its scary how joey sponsors rosetta stone (what is that timing).. but i heard rosetta is not really worth buying
Wow, this story was really interesting. I wonder how he managed to evade police for almost 50 years.
The good that came from this story is at least there is closure.
Its low crime but serious crimes are 1000% more severe.
So he wasn't found or caught, he only made a confession because he's going to die.
12:05 "The family actually found out that he had died after he already passed away" You don't say?
I think humans value agency and this guy had it all the way to the end.
Take an example of a criminal we do hate like Seito Sakakibara, the serial killer who wrote Zekka, and we see a guy who tried to paint himself as a victim who didn't have control over his own actions even though from anyone else's perspective, he did.
But in Satoshi's case, the story is framed like he owned up to everything. The bombing victims aren't the focus of the story, but the fact that he lived under the radar for 70 years, then went out on his own terms.
I have seen pictures of him in every Police station here
“Nah, I won.”
Joey definitely reads comments.
is it... though?! I feel like he knew he was going off from this world and had guilty conscience and wanted to let everyone knows he was alive. The fact he peace out the following day means he let himself go.
They should make a movie about him.
