He Kidnapped, Killed, Raped, and Ate Little Girls
The horrific story of the pedophile cannibal killer of Japan.
Trigger Warning: This article has graphic descriptions of murder, mutilation, necrophilia, and cannibalism of young children that may cause distress. This may be difficult for some readers.
One of the safest countries in the world, Japan is known for its low crime rate, safe neighborhoods, and close-knit communities that watch over each other. Guns are virtually absent and murder and other violent crimes are very low with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime reporting Japan’s rate of intentional homicide being the second-lowest in the world at 0.3, compared with 5.4 for the United States.
But despite that, Japan has some very unusual and brutal crimes that shock and confuse both Japanese people and the world. One such criminal is Tsutomu Miyazaki, a man from Saitama Japan who abducted four girls ranging from age 4 to 7 and brutally murdered them, sexually assaulted their corpses, and even consumed some of their body parts and drank their blood which earned him the name Little Girl Murderer.
He was also an avid fan of horror and violent Japanese manga so the media often referred to him as the Otaku killer. Otaku is the Japanese word for nerd or geek.
