He may have already had a passport. He comes from a well-off family. I believe they are doctors. I have always suspected he was being helped by his family. They could have dropped off everything he needed.
As far as red flagging his passport, you are giving the Japanese police too much credit. There wasn't an international and some may say even a real national search for him. He was easily forgotten which why the victims parents keep coming to raise awareness. Only foreigners are really scrutinized through customs. He just has to look like a typical Nihonjin and OK.

Pretty much all governments are the same. The difference is the illusion of freedom it gives its people.
I have walked pass the Communist parties office at night from Harajuku to Shinjuku. It looked normal to me. I also had a lot of drinks that night.

Thinking about LIBERTAS comments. I think if he is gay then it gives us a better explanation on why he killed her. Maybe he was obsessed with looking beautiful. Being friends with a woman he admired physically was a good way to learn more about being beautiful he thought. When he latter realize there were limitations on what he could do to his appearance he became frustrated. Envy->Jealousy->Anger->Hatred
Should the info that is discussed in the article be easy to verify? I don't see why there is so much controversy.

I also think that the public are not involved enough in politics. Which why they get all these leaders with very little results. It is like which ever group is dominate just draws straws and the winner gets to run the country for a year.

Mindovermatter,
Actually, I have walked around a lot of those places. Both here and back home. Grew up in one. How about you? I understand what are the rough parts of town. My point is even though they may set up shop in the bad area. They may be there all day everyday. Most of the guys may be from the area.
My point is those who have positions in the gangster business don't necessary have to live there despite being there 24/7. The higher up you are the farther away you live from your s%&t. Or you may just come from better off family and get caught up in it. The smart groups are trying to distance themselves from the stereotypical images of the Yakuza. The groups who are now forming corporations, wearing company pins on their suits and not getting tattoos. Lower levels usually still live in the trenches as well as smaller groups. There are also some exceptions like old-school guys but not all of them. So it would make since for the more modern gangster to present the image of a normal business man living in a regular neighborhood. With this they can provide a normal life for their family. Move through society unnoticed and not be frowned upon.
Moderator: Back on topic please.

unscrejects,
I understand you comments. I applaud the guy if it was as you say. I also think he was little too wasted to defend himself. I suspect a little of both. I also think if was attacked he has the right to defend himself. It is universal rule "Self Preservation", Fight or Flight or whatever. Luckily, he was in the right and was able to prove it.
On a sidenote, some of the Yak groups are quite organized. The smaller ones especially to survive. Some groups do have scheduled training sessions including sparring. So, some of them are capable to open up a can of Whip A@#! Never underestimate your opponent.

I think Ai will challenge Miu to duel.
Ai: "You shall respect my 'Authority' little headed one."
After,they will both cry and a bond will be created. KAWAII!!!

Maybe, they want to definitely show he was a bad man. He did die on their watch. LA cops don't have the best record when it comes to minorities. "See he was a scumbag, he had to be sent here. You can't sue us."

Mindovermatter,
Where the Japanese guy lives doesn't mean he is Yakuza or not. Most don't do business where they live. Why s*&^ where you eat, drink and sleep? If you look at past cases of high ranking criminal arrests, they usually lived in nice regular or well-off areas.
I wouldn't be surprise if his parents were there.

Soldave,
It is to make the Japanese talents appear to be really talented and great. Usually the celebrities don't have clue who that is standing next to them.
If those dancer were more famous there would have been several "talento" attach to each hip.

People are often wanting to kill someone from channel two. It sometimes seems like the internet Ghetto for Japanese Nationalists.

What would you do if a stranger came to your house said that another stranger will now take 60% of your property despite living there for hundreds of years. Based on a agreement between the two other strangers not including you. Not pay you for it just take it. If you disagree they have the right harm you. The Israeli policy for resistance. The one bone break rule.
http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm95gqdiwJQ
Now since the stranger moved in more of the house is being taken by the stranger by force and against the law. Until the point you and your family are now living in the hall closet. No lights, water, telephone and gas are allowed. You can't even go outside the closet to the kitchen or bathroom because the surrounding area is now the stranger's. The stranger is also giving the other rooms of the house to his friends who can take all the possessions in that room.
Out of rage you fight back and the hall closet gets worst.
I have just the described the creation of the Israeli State. I would love to here your memories of the event.
P.S.
That clip won't be getting much coverage on the US stations, which why so many one sided views here.

If the product was better this wouldn't be problem. They should fail. Necessity is the mother of invention. Competition is what fuels innovation.

I think the boy just needs a "hug" or a "role-model." That's all case closed.

If the kid knew what he was doing then he would not have stabbed him in the head. Unless this was a mistranslation. Man!!! Saitama is like the Wild West. Or does Barbarians from the North sound better?
There is something I don't understand. If he thought he was a burden to his father, then he should have tried committing suicide...right?

Actually realist, a messy place isn't a Japanese thing but more like general guy thing.
He will probably get married for publicity like a lot of celebrities do and divorce several years later. Besides, its not like he has to have sex with his wife. This is Japan!
