Talk about having "something to declare" in your luggage...
A university student has tried to kidnap a young girl by forcing her into a travel bag and then take her in a taxi to make good his flight.
The twenty-year old Tomohiro Kodama brandished a knife at a twelve-year old girl near Hiroshima Station earlier this week. He forced her to get into travel bag -- 70 x 30 x 30cm -- and then flagged down a taxi to continue on to god knows where.
Luckily the taxi driver heard the girl's voice coming from the bag after Kodama had put it in the trunk. When he stopped at a red light he ...
American reputations in Japan are not the best, it has to be said, especially if you happen to be a member of the military forces stationed at various points around the country.
But we wonder if this latest development will have a positive or negative effect on relations...
A navy petty officer has ben arrested for inflicting injuries on two Japanese guys -- punching them and even breaking a nose -- on a platform of a station in Yokohama.
Why the ruckus? Well, apparently the Okinawa-based officer, D'Angelo Rett (24) (Note: name based on katakana -- as yet cannot confirm alphabet ...
It seems that it's not just us guys who find Japanese schoolgirls too hot to handle.
Police have arrested a 25-year-old female teacher at a school in Kunitachi, a suburb in west Tokyo. She was found to have nude videos of 11-year-old girls in her class and has been charged with possession of illegal pornography. Not sure what sentence she might get but we reckon it's safe to say her teaching career is over.
It was in June this year that the young woman, Kaori Yamakawa, apparently made the videos as her own personal, bizarre skin flick. It features female sixth-grade students using a ...
Just when you think you have everything sorted out about Japan, along comes a wacky kinky story to throw you off kilter again!
Police in Chiba have arrested a coast guard who had been walking down the street on August 6th dressed only in a woman's wig and a red and purple bra.
Aside from some make-up, the rest of his body was completely exposed so we're not even sure if this counts as cross-dressing. Surely his cock would have been an immediate giveaway!
Masahiko Ono (48) is said to be slightly tubby and not to have bothered attempting to shave his body hair. A lovely image! His ...
Police in Kanagawa have arrested a man and a young girl in connection to a bit of hanky panky.
Apparently university student Kohei Okazaki (22) his girlfriend, a 14-year old third year junior high school student, were in a park in Yokohama city on the night of May 5th, and they forced another junior high school student to strip down and swim in a pond.
The victim was a friend of Okazaki's girlfriend and she was kicked and punched during the incident. The girl's motivation was apparently that she thought her friend was having an affair with Okazaki. So... you then make her take off ...
Adultery is often far more tolerated among couples in Japan than in other countries. Especially older women accept that their husbands will shop around occasionally.
When the shoe is on the other foot, though, things work out differently...
A Kanagawa public official, Gen Noda (47), recently suspected his wife was having an affair. No man to take this lying down, he began following his wife.
Soon enough he rumbled her entering a "hotel" with another man, a company employee. Despite the flagrant adulterer's younger age, the cuckold wouldn't stand for this effrontery -- and promptly ...
Any newbie visitor to Japan quickly realizes that phone cameras here must carry a rather loud "shutter" noise for the moment when you take your grainy snap. The reason? Needless to say, with mobile innovation Japanese pervs were very fast to use it as a new tool for photographing up girls' skirts.
But as the smartphone devices have been flooding the market, authorities have been unable to control the use of apps to make camera "shutters" go silent. And with silence comes plenty of opportunities to snap panties and more.
Unlike regular keitai mobiles, the smartphone shutter noises ...
It sometimes seems that the kids who are good at sport get all the girls, right? Well, yes and no.
Masato Uchishiba (33) may have won two Olympic gold medals for Judo but it seems he is not champion of judgement when it comes to controlling primal urges.
He has been arrested for "sexual assault" of a teenaged girl at a Tokyo hotel (=love hotel?) while she was drunk (i.e. he got her drunk) in September. Apparently the girl is a fellow judo team member at the university where Uchishiba worked as coach.
Uchishiba claims the sex was by mutual consent, and we might have another case ...
A man has been arrested for pimping out teenaged girls via a deai-kei internet website. So-called deai-kei sites ("encounter" websites) are portals for meeting up with young ladies, often platforms for enjo kosai (dates with cash rewards) or open prostitution.
This time one man was calling the shots and had several underage girls on the site working for him. Atsuo Yoshinari (27) was a former host living in Shinjuku who, along with his two fellow arrested chums, admits the charges of prostituting a 17-year old girl. The fatal incident came in a love hotel in north Tokyo in June where the ...
Singer and model Takako Uehara (28) is suing the editors of a magazine for 30 million yen ($400,000) after claims it made in an article about disgraced comedian Shinsuke Shimada.
Shimada famously had to resign after allegations that he has had long connections to the yakuza -- it's well known that the whole entertainment industry in Japan is in cahoots with the mafia -- and Shimada, no stranger to scandals, was made an example of (probably so he could go and do other things, including reportedly hoping to enter politics!).
In the article in the September issue of weekly tabloid Shukan ...
