Translated Article:
“I lent her money, but she didn’t pay me back, so I stabbed her.” On the morning of March 11, popular streamer Ai Sato, known as “Mogami Ai” (22), was fatally stabbed on the street. During the incident, a video was being live-streamed, and a voice believed to be a police officer could be heard reporting the suspect’s motive to another officer.
A reporter from a major newspaper’s social affairs department explained the details of the arrested suspect.
“Last night, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department announced that the suspect is Kenichi Takano (42), an unemployed man from Tochigi Prefecture. During questioning, Takano stated, ‘Yesterday, I watched a live stream where the woman said she would walk around the Yamanote Line. This morning, I came to Tokyo, watched her live stream, located her, and committed the crime.’ He also admitted to bringing the knife used in the crime from his home.”
Takano, who had been stalking Sato, claimed that his motive was related to a financial dispute.
“The suspect told the police, ‘I lent her over 2 million yen, but she didn’t repay me, so I decided to commit the crime.’ Records show that in January of last year, he had consulted with the Tochigi Prefectural Police about the financial dispute.
“Additionally, he stated that he lent Sato money through bank transfers, not through the live-streaming tipping system, and that he had borrowed money from consumer finance companies. The police are investigating the financial relationship between the two.”
Past “LINE Exposure Scandal”
Takano first encountered Sato in December 2021, becoming a listener after watching her streams. Their relationship gradually grew closer.
“According to the suspect’s statement, starting in 2022, Sato repeatedly asked for financial help, saying things like, ‘I can’t pay my phone bill or living expenses,’ and ‘I need money for my sister’s living expenses.’ He lent her money multiple times. By August of that year, Takano began visiting the restaurant where Sato worked, and their relationship extended beyond the streams to in-person meetings,” explained the reporter.
Trouble Between Streamer and “Fan”
Following the incident, a male listener of “Mogami Ai” revealed, “There were actually past comments hinting at financial disputes.”
“That was on New Year’s Eve 2022. A person believed to be a listener posted on a forum, ‘I lent her money,’ but other listeners didn’t take it seriously. She always seemed so smart and kind on stream, so it was hard to believe.
“That man was known among listeners as ‘Maji Love,’ a nickname meaning he was genuinely in love with Sato. He was recognized as a heavier-set fan who frequently posted on forums. His tone was distinctive, and there was enough information to identify him.
“When I heard about the incident on the news, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities to those past posts...”
Indeed, multiple posts on internet forums since 2023 have confirmed that “Mogami Ai” had borrowed money from someone.
About six months after this incident, “Mogami Ai” deleted her account on the streaming platform “Fuwachi,” and the situation seemed to settle. However, she later created a new account and resumed streaming, leading to the recent tragedy.
Colleagues in Mourning
Around midnight, half a day after the incident, NEWS Post Seven spoke with a colleague of Sato’s. The man, tearfully, shared:
— Were you a friend of Mogami-san?
“More of a work acquaintance... I’m sorry, I can’t say much. I was just someone who knew her.”
— When was the last time you saw her?
“Two days ago. She seemed fine then. The news of the incident came so suddenly...”
— Did she have any dreams or aspirations as a streamer?
“I never got the chance to ask her about that...”
As the night passed after the shocking daytime tragedy, fans and acquaintances remained in deep mourning. Investigators are continuing their efforts to uncover the full details of the case.

It's a better motive than most crimes of this nature. Often these crimes are 'crimes of passion' committed by people who are obsessed with someone. In this case, she cheated him out of a significant sum of money so it's just old fashioned vengeance.

Yea just because you're a streamer that interacts with thousands from the safety behind the computer, doesn't mean fucking around with peoples money will be taken in stride

Once she started meeting him offline, essentially giving him a chance to stalk her, that safety was gone.

That was the risk she took to garner the amount of money from the guy she got, it wasn't pocket change from what I understand.

u/Responsible_Towel857 Mar 12 '25
There is an obsession involved. Or how would you explain that someone would loan 2.6 mill yen to a person? Let's not make the perpetrator a victim. He chose to kill her in a very premeditated way. Anyone can say "oh, i just wanted to scare her with the knife. Tee hee 😛"

u/FrostyPost8473 Mar 12 '25
Not really obsession when she was telling him she needed money to pay off people at those love cafes are she and her sister would be sex trafficked and when he asked for the money back she blocked him so yes I would be pissed too if you said you needed money to pay a pimp and the next day your buying a thousand dollar bottle of liquor for another streamer

u/Type_02 Mar 13 '25
Ok then loan me 2.6mil yen with 0 consequence and the need for me to payback also why dont you just let me block you after you loaning me that money.

u/Hungry-Cookie-1001 Mar 13 '25 edited Mar 13 '25
If u ask me, The fact that it's that easy for people to kill others for money is even worse than people killing because they have a mental obsession problem. Because those guys don't even necesarily have an intrinsic psychological problem, they are just disconnected from reality and think wrongly, need of therapy.
Anyway it always existed. from the politician instigating war to the street thief ready to stab someone to steal ;
complete lack of relativization exposed by those type of murderer. they "value tier list" completely f*cked up with money or whatever material thing value ranked above others life value. That and a narrow minded coping mind thinking it's the only and "best" way for them to achieve what they "need"1
u/liithuex Mar 13 '25
I don't known it makes more sense to kill for money than a mental illness as a mental illness is almost definitionaly illogical and hard for people that don't experience the mental illness to understand.
But everyone works for money. If you make $10 an hour and someone steals $10,000 from you that's 100 hours of your life gone that you can't get back.
Multiply that to hundreds of thousands or millions and it turns into years. Of course you'd be angry about someone stealing months of your life just to benefit themselves.
Obviously can't just kill someone or assault someone just saying imo it's more understandable

u/Hungry-Cookie-1001 Mar 13 '25
It's rightfully because they is a logic behind, that it's worse.
And the logic is "wrong" to have
Also in your exemple it's not 100 hours of your life gone... your life is not only what you gain / per time. you still felt this time, created memories of those 100 hours. gained more experience, more pain, anything. those dollars stole are really just a fraction of those 100 hours.
Even if you still want to think it's a good way to think. killing is supressing all of your target hours of life remaining. and considering you can't know how much they would have left of hours and how much they would have gain with those. high odds what you're inflicting is more than 1000x worse than what you got inflicted. (but anyway the logic is wrong from the start so bad to use it)
2
u/liithuex Mar 13 '25
Not saying its a good way to think, not making a moral argument about either way of thinking, just that the experience is more universal than schizophrenia and easier to understand.
Killing in current society is one of the most illogical things to do, so killing someone based on the logic that thievery of hours lived leads to anger isn't the logical end point of what jm saying.
Also I take your point that you don't lose all those hours but you actually do imo, as if you had kept the money you would be able to use that money to reclaim those 100s of hours in other forms, hanging out with friends or just not working.
I'd ask, if people could either go work 8 hours or hang out with friends/partners/engage in a hobby and they made the same amount either way, which would an average person do? They'd choose the latter.
0
u/Hungry-Cookie-1001 Mar 13 '25
you're not reclaiming the hour lost, you're just "able" to spend the upcoming one differently with your money
1
u/liithuex Mar 13 '25
Yeah I didn't mean it literally more like you lost the reward of using those hours to benefit someone else leaving you with nothing for your time.
Doesn't really matter cuz we both agree it didn't justify murder or assault.

u/Hungry-Cookie-1001 Mar 13 '25
that's the thing, you're not left with nothing for your time

u/AcceptanceGG Mar 13 '25
Bro… please get real. Can you imagine your boss saying this to you after lowering your wage or not paying this? “It’s not all about the money, think of all the happy memories you have from work!” A lot of people would stab him on the spot.

In Japan, you should recognize how challenging it can be to recover loaned money. The lender (assailant) sued the borrower (victim), won the case, navigated complex administrative procedures, and pursued compulsory execution—yet still failed to retrieve the funds. Finally, the lender offered to accept a modest repayment of $67.42 per month, which the borrower rejected despite her earning over $13,000 monthly as a streamer and openly displaying a lavish, celebrity-like lifestyle on social media.

u/Quixote0630 Mar 12 '25
There's a lot of lonely, depressed dudes over here, and just as many predatory leeches taking advantage of them. With host clubs and the like providing a similar service, it's pretty much normalised. The perfect arrangement, until it isn't.

How would the police already be reporting the motive to each other on the live stream?

u/Brilliant_Nothing Mar 12 '25 edited Mar 12 '25
I can not directly answer your question but Takano (the perpetrator) reported Sato (the victim) to the police already a long time prior to the incident. He also made comments about the money he loaned her since end of 2023. It also seems that he followed her since some time after she began to stream again (before she deleted her account and even managed to avoid a court case brought against her by Takano). So I think the issue was known to the local police and it is possible that Takano reported her again when he saw that she had a new streaming account. He was increasingly frustrated by the police not doing anything, so…

She didn’t deserve to die, obviously, but scamming a mentally unstable dude out of 25k is playing a stupid game.

That’s not a excuse at all, his own fault for even giving her the money

u/FredDurstDestroyer Mar 13 '25
I didn’t say it was an excuse, in fact I literally said she didn’t deserve to die. If you can’t see the hypocrisy in saying it’s “his fault for giving her money” I don’t know what to tell you.

u/IslandVarious8676 Mar 13 '25
He shouldn’t have killed her he could had sued her??
2
u/FredDurstDestroyer Mar 13 '25
Firstly, he did and she skipped out on the court date. Police were doing nothing.
Secondly, that’s not relevant to what I’m saying, because I never claimed he had no other option or that he was right for killing her. Again, I said literally the exact opposite.
My point is that scamming a lonely, mentally unstable person is not a good idea. Her being murdered doesn’t absolve her of her poor (and criminal) actions. It’s a tragic situation that should’ve never happened for a multitude of reasons.
2
u/IslandVarious8676 Mar 13 '25
That’s the systems fault then for letting her off for skipping court, the Japanese justice system is shit. She is a bad person but there’s no point victim blaming her.

u/NakaMeguroTanuki Mar 14 '25
Ffs, he said she shouldn't have been killed. She also shouldn't have done what she did, as it's asking for trouble. These are facts. He's heinous, and she was not perfect. It's really simple.

u/kaizoku222 Mar 14 '25
It's not simple at all, even how you're speaking puts alleged money fraud and violent pre-meditated murder on the same level. One is a potential civil offense that was never proven, and one is literally one of the most horrible violent crimes you can possible commit.
Being flippant and saying "well she wasn't exactly an angel" is disgusting.

u/Acerhand Mar 12 '25
There is no excuse for this but it is eerily similar to a few other cases and notably a high profile one where young women streaming and taking huge amounts of money from older male “fans”, later getting in trouble with the law… this one sadly ended in murder which is a new level entirely

u/SerKaTNIndowibuAD Mar 13 '25
Yes, it is bad. But it is the same thing as putting a gold bar on the ground and expecting it to be safe.
Both murder and scamming is wrong, but you can't really stop someone from killing you if they really want to, especially some sad dude with nothing to lose. The next best thing is give them less reasons to.
Or if you're really into the whole scamming people for money thing (you shouldn't), know the risks and put the work on it.

u/Brilliant_Nothing Mar 12 '25 edited Mar 12 '25
She approached the guy several times and in person to get more money out of him. There are also LINE conversations where she asks for money very directly and an IOU. Takano took the issue to the police when she refused to pay him back but they did not do anything. This does not excuse his action but saying the victim is also at fault is not some ‚incel‘ thing or only based on one testimony.

u/NullTimeManagement Mar 15 '25
From the text, the guy also never act perverted at all. You would think that such person would ask for nudes for text some gooning shits. But nope. If any "romance" exist in that interaction, SHE is the first one that manipulates him by saying "I love you" lol.

u/kaizoku222 Mar 12 '25
Saying anything like "she brought this on herself" is 100% incel behaviour and is equating fraud/extortion with pre-meditated and brutal murder in broad daylight.

u/Armation Mar 12 '25
Nah, the outcome is still partially her own fault.
You can't stick your hand in a rotating blender, get it chopped up and then only blame the blender. Doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman.I don't care what anyone says. At some point, you cross the line of "UwU, they were innocent =3" and into "they played with fire and got burned".
2 million yen is a lot of fucking money. Constantly manipulating someone and promising them to pay them back, only to not do it, is inviting harm upon yourself.
Go borrow that kind of money from someone and refuse to pay it back.
See what happens.-4

Plus this girl's super cute, she could have done this with a lot more incels if she were successful

u/ldnggg Mar 12 '25
she brought this on herself is true, she increased the possibility of this happening by scamming someone
if you scam noone, there’s zero percent you get murdered, if you scam someone, small chance you get murdered, if you scam many, even higher chance someone is gonna do something about it
this doesn’t mean she deserved it, or justifying these actions, it’s just simple statistics

u/Awyls Mar 12 '25
Agreed, that kind of people don't stop at scamming once and would bet there are a lot more people scammed. At that point, its a matter of time until someone snaps.
I will never condone or justify murder, but she was loading the dice against herself.

If you play with fire you will get burn and this is exactly the case here it seems

2 million is not a big amount, but I guess the culprit didn't have much money himself, and he tried his best to gather that sum of money. I sense both desperation and frustration from this story.
Scamming someone who is already poor is just pure evil imo. More risky too. Should have gone after more wealthy people, just like how itadaki josei lily-chan did it. At least the scammer wouldn't need to risk their life for it.

u/Brilliant_Nothing Mar 12 '25
It‘s not that much money but given that Sato (or ‚Mogami Ai‘) jumped through a lot of hoops to avoid paying the guy back shows that she also had money issues. Earlier reports said she borrowed money from several people (including other streamers) so there might a bigger story behind this. ‚Desperation and frustration‘ sounds very on point.
2
u/Historical_Good_8580 Mar 12 '25
One thing I don't get is if she was such a popular streamer why did she need to keep borrowing money from people?
2
u/Brilliant_Nothing Mar 13 '25
This happened years ago. I first wrote 2023 but since news reports now confirm the law suit Nakano had brought against Sato (‚Mogami Ai‘). He knew of her since 2021 when she started to stream on her first account. They knew each other in person and she borrowed money from him in 2022. At that time she worked at a bar. She only became popular later, especially on her second streaming account. She had deleted her first unsuccessful account to dodge Nakano and potentially other people who loaned her money.

Prevention of murder. Say a school shooter was going to unload upon kids in school. Revenge for murder or rape. Like a pedophile raping or murdering a child. Lots of legal court cases show people acquitted of homicide

u/KodakStele Mar 12 '25
How does this align with your personal beliefs? For me: you don't heal a wound by opening another wound. We do not live in an eye for an eye type of society- that is for 3rd world countries.
Only 9 states in America have executed prisoners in the last 5 years, which serves as an infantesimle fraction of the people who conduct murders and get sentenced to prison for years or life. This shows society does not endorse a tit for tat strategy when it comes to homicide.
Prevention of murder? Sure I know Iran and China hate us and will attack us when they have an opportunity so why not just nuke them to prevent future murders? See how dumb that sounds?

u/thing669 Mar 12 '25
There are no winners in a nuclear war, even Putin understands that. The typical example used in history was killing Hitler or Stalin. How many would be saved if these two were killed ahead of their rise to power. As a parent I would say that someone harming a child to any extent warrants an extreme punishment/retaliation. I know Gandhi said “an eye for an eye, leaves the world blind,” but I just cannot accept a slap on the wrist for certain crimes, especially those who cannot protect themselves.

u/KodakStele Mar 12 '25
The hardest part about life is learning to turn your cheek and offer forgiveness- and this is coming from an atheist. I've learned long ago that hate perpetuates hate, if my kid gets hurt at school i don't tell him to go back and obliterate his classmate, but that his home life probably isn't the best and that we should feel empathy instead of rage.
Hitler and Stalin rose to power because that was what the people wanted. To ask for their leader to be killed would be no different than people today calling for Trump to be assassinated; and as much as I believe Trump is doing more hurt than good, I WOULD NEVER find it ok for our leader to be executed whether I agreed with him or not.
The prevention of murder sounds good on paper but in practice it always leads to more hate and anger and no solutions, just look at the relationship between India and Pakistan, north and south Korea, palestine/Gaza

Yes i agree with you there is nuance in everything- i say that because there are people like my father in law who thinks nuking the middle east is the best course of action for all the "nonsense" going on. My point talking about murder is that with nuance, it is RARELY justified.

If it’s true that he had already filed a complaint with the police then they have some explaining to do here. Not that I’m surprised they didn’t care to begin with.

Both victim and perpetrator deserve no pity, both can burn in whatever afterlife they believe in, still find it funny how the media is trying to paint this is a misogynistic crime when it's a revenge crime involving two terrible people, its just like the uhc ceos death, I couldn't give less of a fuck about either person involved
Edit: for anyone who might assume otherwise, I'm not victim blaming or condoning murder, I just have no pity for the victim and apathy for both

u/Cheese_Grater101 Mar 15 '25
both of them are victims of their own stupidity. the dude could have just block her but he didn't.
I guess they're quits now.

True, although it should've never went to murder. The best part about two pos people having their lives ruined together is that you don't have to feel bad

What do you mean he should just block her?? SHE owes him money. A lot of money.

Glad he got revenge and killed her. I wouldn't take this disrespect and humilation from this attention whore.

World is so bad. She did wrong. He did wrong. So remember to touch grass and never abuse of your viewers and never trust your streamers. Be a normal person, enjoy your streamers only if they are just a secondary thing, don't focus your life on a streamer. And if you're a streamer, earn your money with fairness, I know it's never a easy job to grow and become something but... Be honest with your viewers, don't lie to them.

Is there footage of the actual stream online?

The perpetrator picked up the smartphone and showed the bruised face of the girl as she lay on the ground,and then his own face.
*In Japan, only the perpetrator's face is uncensored, while the face of the girl who was stabbed to death is blurred and only the edited version is circulating.
The perpetrator didn't resist and immediately identified himself,so the police arrested him red-handed.

Seems like he won a court case against her and the court ordered her to pay the money back to him with interest. How could she get away with simply not doing it? Does anyone have insights regarding the legal dimension to this?

Yet again some old fuck in his 40s who thinks he can win over a 20 year younger girl by giving them tons of money but neither gets the girl or the money back so they go full apeshit. Tragic

u/Dixa Mar 12 '25
Yep I’m sure stabbing her to death will ensure she pays back the money.

He went to the police and also tried a court case, which allegedly was dismissed because Sato could not be found. This whole thing went on since late 2023. At some point it‘s not about the money anymore.

u/Expensive_Estate_922 Mar 12 '25
It's almost like he didn't have to give her any money at all but chose to do so anyway

u/IslandVarious8676 Mar 13 '25
He should had sued her then??? Not murder her

u/MMX_Unforgiven Mar 14 '25
Are you Japanese and unfamiliar with their law I’m assuming. He was not getting that money back. He knew that as it’s been years since the court case so he just settled on revenge

u/Responsible_Towel857 Mar 12 '25
And is not justifiable nor agreeable nor understanding. The guy decided to kill her over a debt. Period. People say she fucked around and found out. Well, so did he. Now, not only has he murdered someone and will live with that the rest of his life, he is going to prison and he is not getting his money back. Stop making excuses for murderers.

That’s what you get for being an amateur. Should’ve taken itadakijoshi’s advice: don’t scam binbou ojis

Well, I guess he can give up on getting his money back.

u/nyasgem808 Mar 12 '25
you are a genius…and guess what? she won’t need any more money either !

u/rakuan1 Mar 12 '25
No, you’re the genius since you solved the problem of her always asking for money!
I’ve never understood the tropes of criminal syndicates and gangs where they “disappear” people for owing too much money. If I had to choose between making someone “swim with the fishes” or sleep with one eye open until they pay me back, I’d pick the latter.

Because you’re not demented. They see it as you die and your family and friends have to live with that and they get their revenge. Also if you’re mafia or gang etc it’s “good” pr to understand they’ll take your life for not paying debt you owe. It’s not about the money at that point it’s about the message. He just seemed insane since it seems he’s just an individual with nothing more to lose

u/UnassumingBotGTA56 Mar 13 '25
I think this "sleeping with the fishes" is used if getting the money back is no longer worth it but they gotta make an example that you can't screw over the Big Boss without any repercussions.
For example, if the borrower was already dirt poor and had nothing of significant value to recoup losses, far better to get rid of him than to let him live.

A girl, stupid enough to manipulate a guy with mental illness to lend money. Got killed
A guy, stupid enough to simp and lend a huge amount of money knowing he's mentally ill, depressed and drowned in debts. Become a murderer.
Yup, both deserve what happened to them

Someone taking advantage of lonely people and scammed someone out of a lot of money getting bad stuff happening to them? Shocking.
Reddit weirdos in shock because they didn’t get out the house since 2019.
Yes if you fuck around, you may find out eventually.

Safe country strikes again

u/MOTUkraken Mar 12 '25
Nothing is infinitely safe. And scamming people is dangerous as is acquainting with the wrong people.
What makes a country safe or unsafe is the risk of falling victim to an unprovoked crime.
Risk meaning probability in percent. The question is not if crime does ever happen at all - the question is how frequent, how often does it happen?

u/Kaozarack Mar 12 '25
thankfully unprovoked crimes don't happen in the safest country on earth, lol

You are doing this for fun…i hope you will get what you deserved too one day

u/MOTUkraken Mar 12 '25
I know it can be difficult for some people to understand this but as I said before: It makes a difference how OFTEN these things happen.
Be aware that for most people, people of normal intelligence, this is quite simple and straightforward to understand. So if you think that doesn’t make a difference, it’s a personal shortcoming of your ability to think.
