Japan has abolished the statute of limitations for murder since then btw
That’s great. All countries should. It’s a joke. Especially for horrible crimes like murder, rape, pedophilia etc.
Like i get statute of limitations for like petty theft, minor assault (like a single punch, slap, kick, etc) or events where the damage is either nonexistent or otherwise minimal, but murder is just.... you would assume that that would have no limitations at all.
About time too! Thanks for sharing.
FRoM LoNdon wIV LoVe 💋
Death sentences are carried out without notifying the convicted, the media or the families in Japan. Nice & quiet. No media coverage either. :)
You know what? That’s great. Justice shouldn’t have an expiration date.
Jealousy is such an ugly emotion, many murders are committed in the name of jealousy.
I have been living in Japan since 1986, I remember this incident. I am pretty sure she was caught a day before the statute of limitations was up. That is what made her arrest so dramatic. Apparently, in her apartment, she had a calendar with the date (next day) circled in red and was really cocky, not trying to hide herself, thinking that she would never be caught within a day.
nah nah it was 21 days, or 3 weeks still pretty fucking close tho
Weird that there's a time limit for prosecution don't you think?
@@Julia-jane absolutely!
@@Julia-jane Not so unusual. In the USA there’s a statute of limitations on most crimes except murder. Otherwise, it becomes a matter of diminishing returns as memories fade in the minds of potential witnesses.
@@Julia-jane Yeah, especially murder. Here in the US, they’ll charge your ass even if you died 25 years earlier to “officially close” the case.
YOU ALWAYS FIND THE MOST INTERESTING CASES..ONE'S I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE TY!
I'm sure the stress of being on the run for 15 years is likely a contributing factor to the stroke that ultimately killed her.
It's called karma
@@reinhartaltavillaferrara3546 stress is called karma?
@@Janellabelle good one lol
Plus, if she was on the run all of the time, she probably never got to buy any nice furniture, and what could be more stressful than that?
Her life was doomed to fail early on.
It is fascinating to discover these dark crimes from around the world that I have never heard of. Keep it up DC.
Rwa
What a horrible life
What a Horrible Woman.
She was screwed from the beginning, she had no chance to have a normal life.
@@HoHAGGIS haha
abcdefg hijklomop what a bitch she was
Seems like she got cocky thinking she was going to be free. Interesting case. Glad the police where still looking for her even before the cutoff time. Thanks for sharing this case 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Continued drinking after being taken to the police station? Weird. The US doesn’t allow that, but they might get more drunken confessions if they did.
And/or more false confessions as well. It wouldn't be helpful in the least.
Does the cop shop have a free bar I wonder? Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣
FRoM LoNdon wIV LoVe 💋
J Smalls but again like she said in the video Japan’s laws are way different, 15 year statue of limitations on murder?? Lmao that shit is crazy.
J Smalls Interesting point actually. 🤔
@@destroyscenefags since this case the limitations have been removed
Rare for a channel to cover a case I haven't heard of. Very compelling, thank you.
@Das Reich 2nd SS Panzer Division another channel to check out Deadbugsays. He covers alot of murders not heard of like rat man from Japan. And the cases he does that are known he adds detail that no one else has added,like Ted bundy going to the toilet by his victims after he has killed his victim.empty his bowels.the only thing is Deadbug has a bit of a dark sense of humour so if one is easily offended,then don't visit his channel.i don't mean that in a rude way.
Dc is a brilliant channel aswell,such detail.i love all crime channels.its a crazy ole world.takecare everyone.
@@skullrose.665 I've heard of Ted Bundy moving his bowels next to his victims on several docos..
I love the neon signage shot you included in this. I love old neon signs!
💚💚
Although it was weird she used an American strip club sign to illustrate a Japanese hostess club, which has nothing to do with stripping.
Oh please! Unless facing a barrel of a shotgun, one couldn’t “force” me to help someone conceal a body!
You never cease to amaze me! Just when I thought I'd heard almost every true crime case there is to hear, you upload one I've never heard of before!! Thanks so much for the uploads! I truly do love your channel!
I've heard this case before but I love the Scottish accent as it feels like comfort for me. It's no wonder jealousy is one of the seven deadly sins, and in this case it certainly was deadly. Great work, DC. 💜
This one is so damn interesting. She was so close to being free but karma eventually caught up to her in the final moments
Wow crazy case! Great video as per-usual! Xxx
We don't really hear about cases from Japan very often. (Very likely due to the crime rates and other reasons) I had never heard of this. Thank you for sharing!
I’ve heard it’s a very safe country although home to some outrageous cases.
It's good she left her children behind; she wouldn't have been a good mother given how easily she got murderously jealous.
Atsuko's death is heartbreaking; she just wanted to help a colleague and ended up dying for it.
I've heard of this bizarre case before. It's so strange. She managed to stay on the lam a long time.
She was a month or two from being free via statute of limitations, rt?
Sunny Deise that’s so unfortunate she was so close
@@kyz2458 unfortunate? She's a murderer.
How could she afford multiple plastic surgeries? How did she get doctors to agree to keep doing them?
It was mentioned she engaged in sex work and even married someone else.
Prostitution.
It's because them eyebrows never changed.
Lmao

I found this channel while browsing about Trace Labs and missing persons, and I like it! I’ve just subbed, looking forward to seeing more. You have a lot of stuff I’ve not seen anywhere else.
Awesome Video! So Glad U covered this Story! Luv the way U did this! Very interesting and Enjoyed it! Thanks❤💙💚
This is nice changed from the usual cases you presented most are unsolved but this case has a resolution I like this change you should try presenting these kind of cases still continue the unsolved ones but also present cases with resolutions as well. Kudos and keep up the good work.
So glad to get the notification! Thank you. ;-)
I met the mayor of Matsuama in 1977!:) beautiful city:)
Cool! How the visit was?
10:00 "high crime solving rates". It's actually a very high conviction rate which isn't always the same thing...
Excellent and crucial point!
My thought exactly
I remember reading a article where it said that 99% of cases in Japan are set as "solved" even though they haven't found the suspect yet.
'99% confession rate'
This reminds me of "All She Was Worth" by Miyuki Miyabe about a woman who kills other women to assume their identities. She wanted a better life, but had a very twisted idea of how to get it.
Not sure how a wife can « force » her husband to move a corpse into the mountains.. but ok🧐
Emotional manipulation is a strong thing
Dylan Monstrum Sure it can serve as an excuse but it doesn’t justify it
tin foil theory but maybe he was gay and she threatened to tell. in asian culture or at least where i’m from gay folks are unicorns and you will lose everything if you come out...
"Help me move this corpse or no sex for a week!"
@@53subscribersnovideos35 Or, "Help me move this corpse and I’ll let you b@ng the babysitter." (I have a sick mind.)
as sick as this sounds or dark maybe is a good word i love this channel. i just cant afford to patreon 5/6 diffrent channels as im a humble student that can just stay afloat on my own 2 feet as it stands, but if i could i would support. keep it up :) maybe one of these videos could jog someones memory and actually help solve a case. subbed for life :)
Christopher Irving, Also look up Kirsty Skye and ObsoleteOddity if you haven't done already 👍🏻x
And Deadbugsays,another awesome channel.alot of japanese murders.and some cases you may of heard of but Deadbug always adds detail you might not of heard of.his channel is awesome,but his sense of humour maybe a bit dark for some.so if your easily offended then I would suggest you stay away..
Dc is another awesome channel.keep up the good work.
@@janetcw9808 ...Thanks just subbed the above apart from Irving as it says 1 subscriber
She "forced" her husband to help her? How did she do that? I couldn't get mine to take out the trash!
Always fantastic stories, ones most of us may not know about. Even if we DO..your presentations are superb! Many thanks!
Wow! What a fascinating story. Thank you for another interesting episode.
sad
her original face really looks like the grandma emoji 👵🏾
They should make a movie from this story.
They did! 2016 “Kazuko Fukuda: seikei tobo 15 nen” (Kazuko Fukuda: plastic surgery escape 15 years” but only in Japanese I imagine.
There should be an anime version
Oliver Revilo Hell, I’d even go for a manga adaptation. Her story is quite fascinating. It would make for an entertaining thriller.
I love this channel. Just wow, Dude!
I could listen to your voice all day so soothing :)
New subscriber here, love your vocal delivery, so easy to listen to! Thanks
Wait, you said that she continued to drink *AFTER* being taken into custody? Like, as in at the police station?!
Yes
yup
That voice and accent! Heaven to the ears.
I view this to be one of the most frightening channels on YT. It reminds me a lot of Night Gallery when I was growing up in the 1970’s. It was on TV quite late and we would try to stay up to watch it but inevitably if we managed to watch it, it was simply terrifying. This Dark Curiosities channel has the same kind of creepy weird vibe. 👹
4:06
When I visit my rich friends houses I feel good for them they make a good living, not murder them lol.
yeah and even if i feel jealous i just focus on enjoying being at the rich house and also my rich friends are nice so i like seeing their face light up with happiness when i ask them where a painting came from or a dress
600,000 yen only equates to 8111 dollars Australian. didnt get much then
True. And that would be about $5,477 in USD. But, you consider inflation, and that much money in 1984 would be equal to $13,546.
Still, not that much to start a new life with.
Then again, if you go off of the inflation in Yen and not USD, 600,000 in 1984 is 746,020 yen in 2020. And 746,020 currently equals $6,798, which is roughly half ($25 over half.) of the amount if going off of inflation in the U.S.
@@kari7403 appreciate you doing the math 😆! I was just about to Google the exchange rate and inflation myself.👌
@C R very true! Good point.
@@Snake_pup lol, yeah, that kind of stuff ALWAYS bugs me and I have to do the math or look ot up myself. Haha. Glad im not the only one.
Great channel. I love your scottish accent
I love your videos and voice!
It's terrible what age combined with surgery can do to ones looks.Had she just eaten at home for the next 22 days she'd be openly free. But, I wonder if she was relieved to be caught. Being on the run had to be exhausting.
That’s why a lot of suspects, after confessing their crimes, are actually able to fall asleep in the interview room.
Wow 3 weeks before 15 years! Crazy! Did the 50 something year old collect the $?
it gives me chills in 8:38 when the map where she lived and hide is the same pattern as where i lived in japan, because i often change adress too
She got caught on my 9th birthday
Hank Holder gotta love fun facts
This is one of the most interesting stories I've ever heard in my life!
Well...owing money to A Loan 🦈 because of your Drinking and Gambling probably doesn't help the stress levels!🤔
An extraordinary case. Thank you. 👍👍🥀🥀
Either 20 days or 11 hours, i would be on the move the whole time...not being "regular" somewhere!🙄
amazing levels of duplicity
Her downfall, besides being a murderer, was the frequency of eating in the same place too often. I must say, she certainly was dedicated to remaining free...
Interesting story. I am amazed that there is a 15 year statute of limitation for murder in Japan!! I wonder why that is.
She said it was because the murder rate is so low, I hope they've changed that now?
Low murder rate and a high conviction rate.
@@thorgrootsweetrabbit2244 That has been changed, Thor.
Japan is sickening they let murderers and rapists get off so easily. Ever heard of junko? Her murderers got off and are living freely for decades
It's difficult to get easily caught in Japan because it is legal to stay anonymous or be invisible if one chooses to
This is nice, finally a case Ive never heard of .
Excellent presentation!
I love your videos to no end
Gotta say, I think I see why she didn't get many tips as a Hostess.
They must have a quiet life in Japan if this was one of the most notorious murder cases. I mean... not that it wasn't serious enough, but you hear far worse across the world.
How did the man recognize Kazuko in the restaurant? She did not look at all anymore like the picture on the poster which had been circulated? Incredible.
That’s what I’m wondering 🤔
A very interesting case! I've never heard of this one....Great Job!👏👏👏
Wish I saw the expression of her face when she finally got caught. That 15 years of being on the run was all for nothing.
@@ihh619 Right!
I have never heard most of these stories keep up the good work from Alma and Glen Australia
Wonderful work, narration Kirsty.😉 😊
if she would have stayed away from the bottles...
So, she was just knocking them back at the police station? Wow!
That’s quite a story! 20 days left, woah, justice had been sooo patient!
You could read a phone book aloud and I would listen to you for hours.
20 days?!?! Damnnnnnn!!! This should be a movie!!
Makes one think about jealous stalkers. She intended to murder the other hostess.
Love this one. So much information and told beautifully.
2,500,00.00 yen sounds like a lot, but it's close to 23,000 dollars in today's money. Still a chunk, but sounds worse the other way.
It's what was owed though.
What a fascinating report! Her young life was not easy. Maybe if someone wanted to help her, unconditional love, who knows what could have happened. 💔
Lots of people have hard lives and face traumas and tragedies. None of that explains or excuses this woman's pathological behavior.
Hi DC. Was this a reupload? I swear I watched you do this before. But it says just the 12th and my like wasn't there....weird and creepy! Haha on this greedy monster. Hahaha. That is the dumbest law anyway and that crazy didn't beat the system totally thank God. Thankyou!🤔🙏💔🤘🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
Laura Metheny maybe the Mandela effect? Lol just kidding.
I love stuff like that. Could you have dreamt of it and as you watch it, it triggers a Deja Vu for you ? I ask because I discovered that I do that. I have amazing dreams and usually recall them. Then I saw that they were happening in real life. Maybe it's the same for you ?
No, it was not a reupload. :)
@@SteveBueche1027 Haha maybe! I already figured I was losing my mind. Now this confirms it.🤯🙃
@@lorimiller4301 IDK. But it was already in my mind while I was watching it. In DCs style and voice. I swear! Even that seriously weird freak show of all her 7 faces. Egads woman! How could you do that to yourself! Lol. Guess with what she did to others...but they are usually babying to themselves.🙄💫
As people now live longer and DNA matches have lately been used to identify perpetrators decades after the fact it might be time for Japan to revise that statute of limitations on murder.
You have to admire the woman's ability to hide in plain sight!! It's almost a shame she was caught!
They changed it a few years ago.
That drink looked like swamp water.
Him : we need to see other people
Me :
She was so close to have gotten away with it..
fleeing by bicycle is a new one for me…..like…..I’m gonna assume she was already way gone when the cops showed up because imagining cops running after a bicycle is just blowing my mind right now
the man at the Oden shop must have been some kind of genius
Fascinating story...ty
What a fascinating case. Not one I’d heard of before. That poor lady she murdered...jealousy is sure dangerous.
UNBELIEVABLE NOW THAT'S KARMA ...CATCHING UP WITH HER
She stole a bike,and cycled 146 kms,to avoid capture,at one point.She was living with a confectioner,and she,and her son,were working in his shop.She told the confectioner that the son,was her nephew.
A 😢 life,but sweetly told😉
What an interesting life. truth is a lot stranger than fiction.
You can change your mug (face), but you can never ever change your fingerprints.
Actually, you can.
This seems to have taken place the year before I moved to Japan. Interesting and sad.
Love your screen name!
The year I lived there was the year of the girl who was murdered and buried in a bath full of sand.
Glad that the law finally caught up with Fukuda the murderess.
500th like!
From highschool to bereavement, straight into crime, prison and rape. Did she ever have a chance to be normal?
I love your dialect.❤️
I’d honestly rather live a simple life! What a miserable existence
Wow I got here early.
Man, it's no wonder I've been unlucky in love...I've been looking in all the wrong places, there's such a thing as a "Love Hotel" ...huh, who'd a thought?!!
*BTW that one plastic look of hers makes her look like an extra-creepy noh mask ; ]
wow !!
Love hotels are places you would go to have sex with someone is it not? Like a 'pay by the hour' hotel. That's what I thought they were anyway.
@@jcaylalove8713 Pretty sure that's what they are. But, some might have extra special housekeeping services (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).
📙💯
Yes 👋👏👏👌
