Names are getting stranger these days. I prefer the traditional names like Tom, Jack, Bob and John. It’s simple.
He became suspicious when the food started disappearing. But she lived there FOR A YEAR.
Japanese woman caught living in man’s closet
TOKYO - A homeless woman who sneaked into a man’s house and lived undetected in his closet for a year was arrested in Japan after he became suspicious when food mysteriously began disappearing.
Police found the 58-year-old woman Thursday hiding in the top compartment of the man’s closet and arrested her for trespassing, police spokesman Hiroki Itakura from southern Kasuya town said Friday.
The resident of the home installed security cameras that transmitted images to his mobile phone after becoming puzzled by food disappearing from his kitchen over the past several months.
The woman told police she had no place to live and first sneaked into the man’s house about a year ago when he left it unlocked.
She had moved a mattress into the small closet space and even took showers, Itakura said, calling the woman “neat and clean.”
This is kinda freaky actually. Makes good plot in horror stories.
Claimed by herself to be the most hated person in Akiba, Asuka Sawamoto (30 yrs old) was arrested in suspicion of violating a ‘prevention of nuisance law’. Sawamoto has appeared in Akiba since last year doing live performances and showing off her buttocks and crotch to gather a crowd before distributing flyers for her live events. She climbs up the railing and lifts up her leg during these photo-taking sessions, catering to the so-called low anglers, or cameraman who has a preference of taking pictures from a low angle. The police has a problem with her gathering a crowd around her and has warned her many times to no avail. Many bloggers including Akibablog’s Mr Geek suspects that Sawamoto was asked to show off her buttocks by the TV station and indeed the TV stations have caught ample footages of her, with the reporter and the commentators strongly condemning her actions. There were doubts as to whether the whole saga was staged for the mass media to paint Akiba in a bad light. Sawamoto has written on her blog that she was expecting to meet three TV stations implying that they are expecting her to stage another show. (Source: Akibanana)
The following video highlights some of Akihabara cosplay culture. If you fast forward to the second minute, I think there’s even a guy cosplaying as a girl which is just wrong. I’m having breakfast cereal and lost my appetite.

Police checked the area and found an open door in the back of the building. An officer went inside and called out, “Marco.”
The main’s name was not Marco, detective Tim Dohr said. Instead, “the officer was trying to inject some humor into the situation.”
Police found the suspect after he responded, “Polo.”

This cheered me up a little, hahaa…
TOKYO (Reuters) - With her dyed-brown long hair and tight designer jeans, Shoko Tendo looks like any other stylish young Japanese woman — until she removes her shirt to reveal the vivid tattoos covering her back and most of her body.
The author of “Yakuza Moon,” a best-selling memoir just out in English, the 39-year-old Tendo says that police efforts to eradicate the gangsters have merely made them harder to track.
“The more the police push, the more the yakuza are simply going underground, making their activities harder to follow than they ever were before,” she told Reuters in a recent interview.
Police say full-fledged membership in yakuza groups fell to 41,500 last year, down from 43,000 in 2005, a decline they attribute to tighter laws against organized crime.
“They’re being forced into a corner, their humanity taken away,” she said. “All the things they used to do for a living have been made illegal, so life has become very hard.”
Being a gang member is not illegal in Japan, and until recently the gangs were known for openness. Their offices even posted signs with their names and membership lists inside.
Gangs cooperated with police, handing over suspects in return for police turning a blind eye to yakuza misdemeanors, but this broke down after organized crime laws were toughened in 1992.
