June 8th, 2008
According to BBC News, Tomohiro Kato drove the sixty miles from his home to Akihabara, using his mobile phone all the way to post to "an internet bulletin board" about his inability to make friends.
—Kato-san, making plans for massive | ||
He hired a truck for a Sunday lunchtime drive straight up the middle of the pedestrian shopping street, mowing down scenesters, bloggers, pedophiles, Wapanese, cosplayers, furries, otaku, and tourists alike. After mowing down as many unsuspecting spectators as he could, Kato attempted to mow down one of Akihabara's many fat American tourists, but found his ride was no match. Kato self-destructed his automobile, but not before leaping out to continue his vengeance on foot. However, in stead of using a firearm like lazy americunts would, Kato decided to go the ninja way, and drew his knife.
Kato murdered seven and put another ten in the hospital, which is a reasonable result for a city which has a cop hiding behind every lamp post. He receives full marks for style and execution.
Critics are already playing the blame game citing everything from, and including, Japan's current economic climate, video games, anime, internet culture and Japanese schoolgirls.
Kato's Messages
Taxed from 
News 24:

- 06:03: "Can't make friends, can I"
- 06:04: "There are just a few buddies who gave me long friendships"
- 06:05: "I'm still on an e-mail mailing list. I'm a bit happy about that"
- 06:10: "They say the roads I was planning to use are closed. See, everything gets in my way"

Fun Fact(s)
- Kato is literally a backwards Otaku with a NO U complex. THINK ABOUT IT. Coincidence or CONSPIRACY????
- Before the attack, Kato gave away all his stuff - a console and a box of games - to a friend. Some have speculated that he was a fan of violent shooting games, but this behaviour is more characteristic of an MMORPG player - "I@M QUITTIN IRL 4EVA, COME 2 LOBBY 14 4 RAREZ."
- The attack occurred exactly seven years after Mamoru Takuma's school chinkout.
- Allegedly, Kato wrote an online message which referenced
Masahiro Kanagawa, who went on a similar stabbing rampage just months earlier.
- A funny fact about this case, some news outlets said that Kanagawa was "under the influence" of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword.
Aftermath
- After the attack, Kato apologized for committing the crime but claimed to have no memory of the incident.
- Within a few days, there were numerous copycats who threatened violence online. A few OPs (including a wimmin) actually delivered and went for the high score, not even getting close to Kato's score.
- Kato's father ended up having to resign from his job and go into seclusion thanks to his son's autistic fit.
- Kato does score an extra kill though as his brother committed suicide in 2014 due to being "unable to live with the scars and shame resulting from the massacre."
- Hysterical armflappers call for the complete ban on manufacture of daggers anywhere in Japan (actually true)
- Government request money to upgrade Mysterybot so that it will be able to notice Japanese Anons using the Chans to inform the world that V-Tech is about to kick in and send automatic warnings to the police (actually true)
- Sunday pedestrianisation of Akihabara suspended for the forseeable future (actually true)
- Konami cancelled the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary event (also true and GOD BLESS YOU, KATO)
- Japanese police to be issued with Power Wrists, Power Gloves and Dongcopters, and to drive around in cars that play the Robocop theme through roof-mounted speakers until they see the criminal, whereupon it will start playing the Chase HQ music. (We might have made some of that up.)
- The slanted-eyed sicko was finally executed in 2022, almost a decade and a half later.
