The Takadanobaba Livestream Murder Case

In March 2025, Kenichi Takano, then 44, fatally stabbed 22-year-old livestreamer Airi Sato on a street in Tokyo's Takadanobaba area while she was broadcasting live. Sato had streamed under the name "Moe Mogami" on a smartphone livestreaming app, and Takano was a regular viewer of her channel. Prosecutors have requested a 20-year prison sentence, saying he grew resentful after lending her money that was never repaid. Editing: Ewanster #truecrime #japan
