Tosasatu "secret filming" is a constant threat for women in Japan (and in South Korea, especially toilets). Every practitioner wants that holy panchira up-skirt shot! Escalators and stairs are popular places to try this, presuming you have prepared your equipment right (cameras hidden in bags are a typical example of the more elaborate set-up). This is why you may see some young women holding bags against the backs of their legs as they ascend floors in order to flatten their skirts and hide their underwear from voyeurs.
Inevitably, schoolgirls are a target for upskirting. After all, not ...
Beware the bag.
Just as women in Japan must be wary of men standing near them on trains, given the prevalence of chikan molesting, they should also take caution when they see a bag on the floor.
Today a bag is no longer a bag. It might contain a camera that is carefully positioned in order to snap a photo of between their legs. Naturally this is only a problem is they are wearing a dress or skirt, but that is often the case for women working in retail or customer services.
Here is one example of upskirting that we recently stumbled upon.
An attractive store assistant was ...
At a recent concert, one fan happened to be in the perfect position when SKE48 idol Haruka Kumazaki was doing an up-close meet-and-greet round of the stadium.
Sure, he or she wasn't seated in the stands where Haruka Kumazaki actually came to say hello. But they had the next best thing -- or perhaps something even better. By being behind her, they could capture a unique panchira upskirt shot when she bent over to greet eager fans.
Under her skirt, Haruka's panties are tightly wrapped around her buttocks and rolling up to wedge in her butt crack. Her knee-high socks also really show off ...
Panchira research sounds like a lot of fun.
Starring popular cosplayer Kazari, Mosou Kagaku Kenkyujo (Fantasy Science Research Lab) has released a new video analyzing their research into panchira.
Panchira is a fetish for the panty shot. It's huge in Japan, especially with cosplayer idols or with schoolgirls.
The video is the first in the series in around nine months and shows the results of their "research" into ways for schoolgirls to do things so that their panties don't show, not always successfully.
This time Kazari demonstrates how to pick a book off a shelf ...
Kyoto is an elegant city of history, culture and temples. But there are also plenty of inventive folk with cameras looking to snap a shot between the legs of an unsuspecting schoolgirl or two.
As The Japan Times reports:
Surreptitious filming or taking of pictures up the skirts of high school females has long made headlines throughout Japan. A whole subgenre of magazines exists for peeping Toms who earn their living by taking photos on the sly, while the Internet has created unprecedented opportunities for getting photos and video out to the peeping public.
In an attempt to crack down on ...
Caught in the act.
A smart lady has caught a man trying not too discreetly to snap a shot of her panties while sitting opposite her on the train.
She then put it on Twitter for the world to see.
If her tweets are to be believed, she would appear to be a high school student.
This kind of thing happens every day in Japan. There are lots of perverts on the trains, including so-called respected professionals.
It reminds us of this other incompetent snapper on a train, himself photographed being none too subtle about his under-the-skirt ...
Toshiki Hanai, a twenty-eight-year-old assistant district court judge in Osaka, has perhaps not surprisingly lost his job.
When you get caught filming up a girl's skirt (panchira) on a train, you might reasonably expect there to be repercussions if you are supposed to be an upholder of the law!
That's what Hanai was apparently caught doing in August 2012.
Another male passenger spotted the nimble judge squatting down on the crowded commuter train during the morning rush hour, trying to get a good view with his smartphone of the heavenly world up a girl's skirt.
The valiant ...
An incredibly indiscreet pervert taking photos (or video) of a girl's underwear on a busy train was himself photographed in the act.
The image of him being incredibly unsubtle in his crime soon enough went viral on Twitter.
The photo was taken by someone at 17:04 before arriving at Kawaguchi Station on the Keihin-Tohoku Line, running between the suburbs of Tokyo.
The man seems to have a technique, given the way he leans forward with this seemingly blank and innocent facial expression, his phone just apparently stretched out like that. Perhaps, though, he should first have glanced around ...
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 ...
