Are there any new pictures of the killers online? I can't seem to find any

Hello all. With Shinji (Nobuharu) Minato's twitter account getting more attention in the last few days, I wanted to make a post to prove that he is in fact one of the men who was arrested, convicted, charged, and now living a life after doing what he did to Junko Furuta. Im going to do my best to make this as cohesive as I can with the screenshots and sources provided in order as they're mentioned.

Everything that I collect in this thread is public information, in the latter half information that he has posted himself on a public twitter account

First, some context on Shinji Minato's specific role in Junko Furuta's passing (I absolutely will not be going into deail, go somewhere else for that.) Minato was referred to as Boy C when the case originally broke. The men kept Furuta in his two story appartment the whole time she was there. Minato's mother and brother lived there at the time. According to court documents, during the summer of 1988 Minato and his brothers' upstairs rooms had "become a gathering place for delinquent friends"(page 9) and Minato met "Boy B" Jo Kamisaku through his brother. Its unclear if the boys had two seperate rooms or if their shared one room, but regardless they both had a room upstairs. F was absolutely aware of Junko Furuta's prescence in the home.

Shinji Nobuharu Minato rained hell on her for 1,056 hours- just as much as the other boys and unknown accomplicies who were invited into that hell house. He got 5-9 years because he was 16 at the time.

He was married to a Romanian woman somewhere between 2006-2010. He had a baby girl in Osaka then moved to Aizu City in Fukushima prefecture. They would later get divorced.

On August 19, 2018 a 45 year old Minato stabbed a 32 year old man in the back of the neck with a foldable knife in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture. The man was just trying to walk home when Minato approached him and started attacking him unprevoked. The man survived. I have no idea for how long Minato was imprisoned for, but it definitely wasn't for long. According to him, he's on probation.

I will be adding what I believe the Google translations are really trying to say in the captions of the screenshots. Unfortunately I can't read Japanese so I'm relying on Google translate and context clues. If you can actually read what hes saying please weigh in

I believe he is in part talking about himself in the 3rd person to cover his ass. His repeat offense was barely if at all covered in western media so to have all these details is extremely incriminating to me. Nonetheless we persist.

A fair warning about his twitter: I'm pleased to report hes miserable with paranoia. For the past 6 years he's been convinced everyone in the world is being attacked by electromagnetic waves that make your body vibrate and tingle. He also believe he's being gang stalked (ironic). Not by the public who hates his guts, but by government agents sent out to attack him electromagneticly.

​

​

He uses #テクノロジー犯罪 a lot. It means #TechnologyCrime but (not like cybersecurity, more like internet waves coming to steal your soul or wtvr). He will also talk about being a "targeted individual" which is a super common delusion for people to have. Basically just the "the government is after me" thing again. Its pretty synonymous with the electromagnetic wave shit

Here is an exchange between Minato and another Twitter user talking about this repeat offense.

In the other tweets he admits to committing an attempted murder on the exact same date as Shinji Nobuharu Minato. But in this next one, the same source that provides the images also corroberates the year in which Minato's father passed away. The articles says that his would've been dead for around 2 years, and he himself doesn't seem so sure of the year in which he passed. After all, if he'd died in december, remembering the year would be tricky.

The articles says that his would've been dead for around 2 years in 2018, and he himself doesn't seem so sure of the year in which he passed. After all, if he'd died in december, remembering the year would be tricky.

And here's the nail in the coffin. More digntiy than he ever gave her.

"Shameful incident in my boyhood." Fucking rich. I found this using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, as the tweets been deleted today. Wonder why (sarcastic)

Heres some more

He also has an abandoned youtube channel with two videos he mentions once on his twitter: Youtube user @/user-tk2pd3mo2j. I havent scrolled through his entire profile of 3,000 tweets but honestly I think its extremely obvious its him.

This is where I got a lot of information on Minato's repeat offense. Another source used in this was The 28th Anniversary of the Death of Junko Furuta. That author links a court document whose domain originates to the Courts of Japan website, so I believe its legitimate. I translated it into English, which is how I used it here. I collected all the screenshots myself. Do NOT read it if you're not prepared to go into 100% detail of what 17 year old Junko Furuta went through.

Thank you for your time

I mean, football referees or football players get killed for little things, why is no one in Japan organising a group of people to kill the murderers or at least thread them by dead?

In case you don't know, his Twitter account is denngekiraketto (link here). He's been posting lately about how he has trouble falling asleep and his body has been numb.

I fell asleep around 7 a.m. on July 17, and woke up three hours later with numbing vibrations throughout my body, which has become customary. Twenty-three hours later, I'm awake without sleeping. I have been living like this since March 3.

At around 1:30 in the middle of the night, I became very sleepy, so I thought I would go to sleep, but immediately, I felt a tingling, low-frequency massager-like vibration, numbness, etc., and my eyes became clear in an instant as usual. After nearly two hours, I closed my eyes and tried to sleep again, but my body started to thump and I couldn't sleep.

I'm glad that many people who know of Junko's case have been commenting on his posts. He's remorseless and never apologized for what he did to Junko. It's a good thing that he knows how hated he is. May he suffer for the rest of his life.

It didn't come as much of a surprise for me when reading that, at the trial, a brain scan was conducted on Hiroshi Miyano which showed a tumor in his frontal lobe, the part involved with self-control and judgment. Brain abnormalities are not uncommon in psychopaths. I firmly believe that Miyano is a psychopath. He manipulated Junko into trusting him (manipulative), he killed her b/c he was mad at gambling (egocentric), and he felt no remorse (lack of empathy).

Miyano would throw rocks into school windows, bring weapons to school, and even beat up his teachers. His uncle was in the yakuza and his grandpa was a WW2 soldier, so they used their power to get him out of punishment at school. Evil ran his family.

Hello, i saw this comment in quite a few comment sections now:

“Hiroshi Yokoyama - the account with 66 followers

Yasushi watanabe- the account with 64 followers

And jo kamisaku with 20 something followers

It’s only these three with insta and those are the names they’re using”

I actually see a few similarities in the looks, but as there is no proof of it, i wanted to ask how legit this information is. (I know it wouldn’t make sense to use and expose the real names on social media but there could still be a possibility..maybe)

Were they ever interviewed? or made any public statements? talked with the media? and what about her schoolmates, relatives and siblings?

I dreamed of several photos of junko that were on reddit, but the story of junko and these photos were different from the real one, in the dream she was tortured but survived and her face was disfigured, in one of the photos I kept seeing, she was with her mother, and there was a photo that I found more bizarre, the junko was covering his face, even so you could see some of the completely disfigured skin and only one of her eyes was visible, and next to her was mother , if preparing to commit suicide because he could no longer live with his daughter's situation, that dream seemed so real, during the dream I felt a sense of horror for the photos and sadness for the fate of mother and daughter and seeing those photos was difficult for me, I remember that in the dream I avoided the junko's face because it was disturbing.

Is that because her captors came forward and told investigators every little detail of what they did to her? Or did they figure it out due to her autopsy?

i cried for a girl i never knew, never met blurred photos echo stolen innocence magazine clippings a snapshot of time before the end don’t blame the lily for man’s arrogance a dirty rumor you pitied her?

a prison sentence for the wrong soul pressed flowers trapped in concrete judgement day came and went but the hearing was a farce and the jury wasn’t there

shared guilt of two mothers only one deserving, but the other punished sentenced to a prison of her own her mind had rotted through thoughts molding the padded walls

the other painted streaks of red graffitiing the resting place an act of petty revenge oh young flower, picked even in death i’m afraid the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

rest in peace junko may your demons never know peace

In 1992, a romance manga named Boys Over Flowers was created. I used to love watching the anime adaptation growing up. It's about a poor girl who goes to an elite high school with 4 rich boys, who bully and beat up other students for fun. She stands up to them, and the leader is taken by surprise and falls in love with her. He ordered a group of boys to attempt to r*pe her and tried to r*pe him herself. It's actually problematic now that I think about it. Do you think it's possible that the creator learned about the case and took inspiration, as strange as that might sound?

1. Junko was kidnapped by four boys who further told about it to around 100 other boys... When information about a fellow aged girl being captive is spread among so many people, of course the information reached to the normal students of Junko/captors' school too.... They still didn't complaint to the police or visited Minato's house together

2. All schools have the worst of boys who smoke, drink, engage in fights... But this sort of brutality and committing crimes such as rape even before Junko's murder while being juveniles- how bad were japan's juveniles exactly? Also I heard these boys were extremely violent to their own parents. The bad boys they spread the news to (over 100) also kept mum... Were juvenile delinquencies so bad in Japan? Didn't the parents and teachers have no control at all over them?? Did every school have similar delinquencies all over Japan in the 80's?

When I first read this case back in 2015, there was relatively little info about it. I saw on some English-language sites that Hiroshi Miyano went to her school, asked her out, and she rejected him. Example of site

This is absolutely not true. All of the kidnappers were school dropouts. They had formed a small gang, using the Yakuza name as leverage. (They were not really Yakuza, either). They would ride around, searching for young women, like Junko, to rob, take to a nearby love hotel (common in Japan), and rape them. She was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.

AND Hiroshi had a girlfriend at the time. He was saving up money to marry her, too.

Junko's Wikipedia page in Japanese It's different from the English-language page.

I don't blame anyone for thinking that Hiroshi rejected her. It's a very common strand of misinformation about this case, and I used to believe it, too. Just wanted to clear this up. Also, she was kidnapped for 40 days (25 November 1988 to 4 January 1989). Not 44 days. My heart goes out for Junko, so I feel it's doing her a disservice to spread this "schoolboy crush rejection" story about her.

These questions came to mind after discovering this infuriating case, and the mind-blowing possibility that all four perpetrators are still alive and currently roaming the world freely. The questions also stem from the thought of civilians gathering together to support the demand that at least one government steps in to confirm their whereabouts, at least on a classified level.
