YOKOHAMA —

A 34-year-old man was charged with assault on Wednesday, accused of wiping saliva on a woman’s coat while she was sleeping on a Keihin Tohoku line train.

Police said Nobufumi Kamigaki, a resident of Yokohama City, wiped saliva he had put in his hand on the left shoulder of the 23-year-old woman sitting next to him, at around 7.10 a.m. Wednesday. Train security personnel on board happened to see the incident and escorted the man off the train at Tsurumi station, handing him over to police.

Kamigaki has admitted to wiping saliva on the woman’s clothes and told police he had done it to about 20 women since the end of last year, telling police: “I wanted to make beautiful women dirty.”

Yuck. This guy need a good shrink, preferably somewhere under close supervision. The only good news is that he didn't make them dirty by burying them somewhere.

"the train crew 'happened' to overlook the incident' or put another way, were busy leering at the sleeping woman themselves.

They should round up the 20 or some women and have them surround him. Then at the signal they all spit on him at the same time. That'll fulfil his fantasy.

That would be fun 20 women in a circle spitting at each other

"There are millions of chikan occurrences everyday in this country, must you post every story here?"

Why bother to read them?

and as usual, nobody else was in the train, just happened that train security saw him. Again, he had admitted as many here. Good for Police, case is closed, no further investigation needed. Confessed=guilty

@european1

One commenter here said they saw it so there was at least 1 other person there.

You know, this problem would disappear if people didn't sleep (or pretend to) on trains.

I agree. They need to do more with their free time on trains other than sleeping and makeup. I do Sudako!

This country, like every every country, has it's fair share of sick, twisted, lost souls. Getting excited by putting your own saliva on sleeping beautiful women? Sick! Sick! Sick! Someone should put a bit of gasoline on this sick fool and maybe throw a lit match? See how fun that would be sick disgusting smelly, dirty looser!

Are you he didn't mix in some snot, earwax, chicken and rice to make chicken flied rice? What a complete nutcase! He deserves to be locked up forever. Someone with that mentality can never change or be helped. How sad.

Beautiful women should not sleep in train!

Train department should publish a "Do it at home" or "家でやろう！" poster with a picture of "Beautiful woman" sleeping in train.

So, if woman is not beautiful only "avarage" looking or "ugly" this "crime" is not so bad???
