Japan's Dark Secret | The Disturbing Case Of Satoshi Uematsu | Sagamihara Massacre
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- Despite the warnings signs, Satoshi Uematsu would become one of Japan's most notorious criminals as the sole perpetrator to the Sagamihara Massacre in July 2016. And with his crime reflective of Japan's stigma towards people with disabilities, it would throw the country's perspective firmly in the spotlight.

We’re back in Japan for this week’s case! What are your thoughts about the Sagamihara Massacre? No doubt, Satoshi’s perspective was immoral. Do you think this was influenced by Japan’s inherent stigma toward those with disabilities? Let me know below. And thanks again for helping me reach silver award! - Adrian
Hiiiii
Same
I am now subscribed! Can you do one on Joel Guy jr
Japan's general view and treatment of people with disabilities definitely didn't help Satoshi but they can drive some people to care more about people with disabilities. Satoshi is just evil,mentally disabled and I think he thought it would be ok because of Japan's lack of compassion towards disabilities
You deserve that award!! I'm so glad that you exist :D
So, lemme get this straight: He kills people because they are disabled, then in court tries to claim disability ( mental incompetence) to avoid the death penalty. What a piece of work.
Piece of work? More like piece of shitt
Yeah right?! Good point. What a pos
@@tinkleherman8338 it's a sarcasm
Hes a real jerk.
The punishment should fit the crime in that aspect, don't you think?
the fact that he was studying to become an elementary teacher gives me shivers.
It’s the perfect job for predators. It’s why preschools get caught up in pedo rings….all the time.
@@NASkeywest my skin just crawled
@@ayomide1658 yea, state run orphanages have a high rate of abuse and missing children as well. Who is going know if an orphan goes missing? It’s like when the head of the Clinton foundation in Haiti got arrested trying to smuggle 20 plus kids back to America after the earthquakes. Funny how child trafficking connected to powerful people seems to slip past the media. I’m sure it’s just an honest journalistic mistake by every major news outlet. 🤫
@@NASkeywest i’m not necessarily defending him cuz he is a psycho murderer and all, but it was clearly stated he wanted to do that cuz of his dad who had the same job. Where’d you get the fact that he’s a predator from?
I am an elementary teacher and it shocking me
I know I'm late but as a Japanese I wanted to thank you for sharing this tragic event. One of the victims with a disability was stabbed 3 times but retrieved a phone and passed it to a staff who called the police. He survived and surrounded with lovely people now. Please shine a light on this hero.
Do you know his name?

I worked as technician for quite some time in hospitals and homes for people with disabilities. I'm not really a happy person. Most days are a pain for me because of depressions. I never forget that one boy in a home for disabled children who simply walked up on me while I was working on something, took my hand and gave me a big smile. He watched the entire time what I was doing and I managed to do it with one hand while holding his hand in the other. I will never forget that day. There is not many things that made me so happy like standing there with this boy while working. Every Human has something to give, you just have to open your eyes sometimes.
Thank you. Be well, friend.
I think that's what he's seeing, he's thinking about "liberating" them
Aww that's so beaiutiful. That's what people don't understand. Just because people are disabled in body doesn't mean their disabled in heart and compassion. That kid saw your pain.
This is very wholesome.
Beautiful ❤
FUN FACT: japan's suicide rate is mixed together with homicides, the police does not thoroughly investigate murder cases sometimes, and is more willing to mark it off as a suicide. Its something incredibly NOT talked about, especially in the west.
THIS. The Japanese police force is so hyperfocused on honor that, if a case looks too difficult to solve, they'll just chalk it up to suicide to avoid the public "shame" that comes with an unsolved/cold case. Which is just...I mean, wouldn't the PERSONAL shame eat away at you for the rest of your life then?
Seems normal, I mean I've read lots of cases in other countries, Japan is not the unique one to do it, just that other countries ruled it as something that is typical of that country's crime or death causes
@@alexandersmith4731 Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not singling Japan out here. We all know how inept American cops can be when it comes down to solving a difficult crime or protecting their own egos. It's just interesting that this particular "cops lie out of honor" thing is so well-known in Japan. Like an open secret.
@@robofistsrevenge3288 You’re too conspiracy minded. It’s ineptitude not “an open secret”
its not fun.
We don't know who the victims are but we know they existed. I hope they Rest in Peace.
Yup, no-one deserves any of this. Mental health really should be taken far more seriously. In a lot of places so many lives could have been saved. Depression alone affects 1 in 3 people. Talking to people who are willing to help doesn't make you weak, it makes you smart.
This is so tragic. 😔
RIP to those who died, they were too pure for this world. Hopefully those with injuries had a speedy recovery and though I doubt it will happen anytime soon, I sincerely hope Japan's treatment of the disabled will better in the future.
Yes !
I didnt know they existed untill now
@@ketsi3079 Me too!!! I found out yesterday!!!! Other kinds of massacre are really famous but this one is not!!!! It makes me really frustrated!!!
i'm not sure if this has been commented on, but a mother of one of the victims decided to release her daughter's name to raise awareness regarding this issue in Japan, "i want people to remember miho's name." miho was beautiful, and i'm happy she lived life to the fullest. rip miho, and every other unnamed victim
It's a good thing she did that.
Shame she was only an exception instead of the rule.

When I lived in Japan many years ago, there was a strong bias against ‘difference’ and perceived ‘weakness’. Sick days at work were called ‘yasumi’ or ‘holiday’. A salary man fainted and crashed to the floor one evening on the Yamanote line - the other passengers moved far away in one fluid movement (except the two gaijin). We were the only ones who went to ask if he was OK.
I LOVE and will always love Japan, but it’s rather sad to see that disability (seen as weakness, and shameful) is still regarded in this way. So ironic that this murderer is mentally ill, which is a disability in itself.
I feel like Japan has made great strides towards addressing physical disabilities, but they have a long way to go with mental disabilities.
I would honestly love to see a world that would see mental illness as disabilities
Maybe then they would take them seriously
@@Annedowntherabbithole humans are asshole in our DNA sometime we are worst then Anmal
I dont understand how can someone knowingly love a country like this
@@loveyourself6986 every country has its skeletons, all equally just as bad in different ways. Much of the time ya just gotta cherry pick what ya like about a place while doing your best to help progress against the stuff ya don’t. To assume any given place doesn’t have a dark side and love it for that perception is naive at best and dangerous at worst. The world is both a beautiful and ugly place. Gotta recognize both, appreciate the beauty and strive to help fix the ugly.
As a person who is disabled... It's stuff like this that scare me. We are people. We don't deserve to be treated like we're inhuman just because we have disabilities.
Truth. I hope you never have to feel like you’re less than, because you’re not!
In some countries we are not fully functioning and dont contribute to society, but a burden. Its only in the West that we have some rights, but not in the rest of the Wotld.
just go to america, problem solved
in New Zealand (where I live) we classify this as a "person with an impairment". We don't see the person as disabled. We believe the person becomes disabled by the attitudes and limitations that society has, not by their impairment.
@@piaveitch2408 they can still do things, people need to let them find their strengths and independence.
In the west I have seen some “disabled” as not being disabled enough and should never be encouraged to be independent or having normal luxuries such as a cell phone
Imagine being killed for being disabled, completely out of your control, and your loved ones didn't want people to find out you were disabled bc it's embarrassing.. My heart is breaking
It's sad.
Just a question, how did the narrator knew that the families are embarrassed to be named for their disabled families and not because of privacy matter?
@@Dolly15595 this. I have been working with Japanese for years now and I still don't know anything about them except their names. There's this unwritten rule that you don't say it unless it is being asked and there are questions that are consider "common" in other countries but "private question" in Japanese standard.
@@Dolly15595 well, its quite easy to come to that conclusion. If you need a walk through of how intentionally neglecting or killing your disabled child explains embarrassment of them being disabled, I'm here to hold your hand.
@@Jon-hb7om why horrible? If you are born with a disability, it's just life. Some birth defects are totally random genetic errors, not heritable. Some disabilities are the result of accidents. Even Neanderthals took care of their disabled. We are supposedly more intelligent.
My son passed away from a rare syndrome 7 years ago. He was 34 and an amazing person. I learned what I know of people and life from him. I miss him every day and wouldn't have wanted it any other way
I'm sorry you Lost your Son 💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐
Sorry for your loss too. I'm sure he was happy to have people who cared for him so much. May he rest in peace.
Dear Cindy, you have my sincerest condolences. As a mother myself, that must have been your worst nightmare. God bless you and stay strong🌹❤️
Some are so ignorant they don’t understand how much the disabled can teach us, especially in empathy, happiness and love. Rest in peace to your sweet angel. Thank you for sharing
Sorry for your loss ❤️

In Japanese death row, they don't give the convict a date at all. This causes the convict to live their final days in anxiety and terror as their end can come in any day
You should do one on Woo Bum-Kon, a Korean policeman who went on a massacre and killed 56 people seemingly out of impulse. I hardly see this case talked about, so it would be really interesting if you covered it. Thanks and good job on your videos.
I hears about this case from a Korean friend I think he didn’t say the name but it sounds the same
I've never heard of this case before. Need to look into this!
Impulse?
Oh God yeah this guy
Started to go on a rampage after seemingly his live-in girlfriend woke him up by slapping a fly on him or something, made me go wtf reading up a little on the case.
Apparently he woke up that day to his gf slapping a fly on his chest, they fought and he went about his work day coaxing people with his work uniform, eventually to blow himself up with hostages when he was cornered by other police
If there’s one thing I learned from living in Japan as a foreign gay person with clinical depression while also being on the autistic spectrum, it’s that a polite culture is not necessarily a compassionate culture.
One can be nice but not good.
@@nette9836 Very True. There is still a strong anti-homosexual feeling in many older Japanese people, but also many more millennial have become more accepting and leading towards same-sex relationships.
How would they know any of those things about you?
@@JSainte17 They don’t need to know any of those things to demonstrate a lack of compassion!
Dude dont be proud as gay in asia, its different from usa
Uematsu forced one of the staff members to come with him during it, asking him if each of the patients were able to speak. The staff tried to protect the patients by lying that every one of them could, but Uematsu noticed that some of them couldn’t speak and murdered those patients. He claimed that he didn’t see the meaning of life for people who couldn’t communicate or eat on their own.
Such a disgusting crime and we should never forget that the world is about helping each other.
Sorry... The world has never been exactly about "helping each other". Humans are just an updated version of chimps. The world has been a battlefield from cavemen times to present days wars and monstrosities.
However, the ability (and empathy necessary) to help each other is what makes us a different update, so it should be valued tenfold. I wish it was more common.
Bless that staff member
I moved to Japan a couple of months after this tragedy, lived here all throughout the trial, and never even heard about this case. I can’t believe it. But I do really think it has something to do with stigma. It’s extremely rare to see people with disabilities in Japan. And it doesn’t seem like people here respect them. I’ve seen several times people shove their way around a wheelchair when they’re getting off the train.
Also, he is right about lack of accommodations for people with disabilities of all kinds. Walk through any street or shop in Japan, it won’t be accessible. Ramps are rare. Even elevators are rare - even in government buildings and public services like train stations and schools. Busses aren’t accessible. 90% of restrooms aren’t accessible. Mental health in Japan is a joke. It’s a tough place to live.
I'm part Japanese but living in the USA...everytime some of my Japanese family members in Japan try to put me down because of the tattoos I got in the U.S. Marine Corps, I always let them know that the USA will always be superior to Japan and I remind them what we Americans did to them with those Atom bombs in World War 2...then they always become silent and will agree that the USA will still annihilate Japan if they went to war again with us...all countries in the world are inferior to the USA and people should realize that if they are not American citizens, then they are less and should always show respect whenever they are around an American....FACTS...💯💯💯

The worst part that gets me, is that we don't even know the names or faces of the victims. We only the see murderer, and his point of view.
Yes this irritates me as well. Mieseres get so much attention which even gives them the feeling of being a celebrity for a while and that so sick. Victims of murder case mostly come last or are not really represented in movies which make me thing so people secretly admire killers or what is all this??
This is truly the pinnacle of the injustice of this case. May they Rest In Peace.
The majority of true crime docs only focus on the killers anyway.
the names of the victims weren't released because 'it could bring shame or embarrassment to the family if it was disclosed they had a disabled relative' if i can recall well... as if we (disabled folks) were dirty little secrets to literally put aside.
Why do you want to know the victims' names and faces? What good would it do for you? The families know, and it's their information to give, or not give.
In the US, the media loves to use mass-killing victims as clickbait, plastering their photos in a huge grid. Maybe you're used to that. And maybe this guy is right about SOME families not wanting to be associated with their disabled relatives. But maybe the rest of the families just want to be able to grieve their loved ones in peace and privacy.
As an Asian person with a father with physical disability due to polio, this made me fully appreciated his hardwork for all those years of supporting us despite his conditions. It's sad and quite alarming how this kind of discrimination towards PWDs are present in a scenic country such as Japan.
my brother is (mentally) disabled and we're asian. the way people treat disabled people here's still the same, though some groups in our country are understanding, people here still act negatively towards disabled people. i'm so glad my parents are understanding and loving of my brother. what he did was so inhumane and disgusting it breaks my heart.
So he laid out his plans to commit mass murder to authorities. Almost sounds like they either didn’t care, or wanted him to go through with it. That’s disgusting..
More likely that while he was in the psych ward, he acted as a model patient. Unfortunately, psychiatrists are not soothsayers and they can only make judgement on what is in front of them. If they saw the guy acting like they expected a normal, healthy human being to act, they might have thought his previous plans for massacre were either out of a misguided joke or work-related stress. Hindsight is 20/20.
Unfortunately, he was way too based to be contained by the authorities.

I actually did research on disabilities in East Africa (specifically Uganda and Kenya). The attitudes are very similar - hiding their disabled loved ones, holding them as a source of shame. It is often considered a curse. But there are also many people out there trying to change the status quo and make things better, and it gives me hope.
In Africa it is on another level of extreme
Spot on. I've been to Kenya for a few months, as I've made an academic project about albinism and witchcraft. It is extremely sad...
Actually, sad and surreal. Brutal reality.
The attitudes might be similar in Africa but there are still services available to the disabled. Japan doesn't seem to offer much support.
@@mecaminha In Mozanbique they uses to Kll people with albinism too, some horrible things happen there.
In Tanzania they kill albinos for ritual purposes (black magic). This belief is common throughout Africa.
As a man who has Asperger's and had the displeasure of enduring hardship in school academically (mostly math. Can't even do division, but that's another story for another time), so when I heard about this through another channel, it offended me to the point of tears that people who think people like me with certain conditions that are either physically, mentally, or intellectually challenged can be that much of a burden that it leads to being killed. This man deserves prison, and to rot there until his days end.
And I won't lie when I say I actually teared up and cried a little; convincing myself I am worth more than what this man claims people to be with difficulty. That's how bad it was tbh. And I'm more sorry for the families who lost loved ones to that madman. And if Japan thinks that badly of such people, they they need a real wake up call to their heads.
Blaming his actions on smoking weed? Really? The worst I’ve ever witnessed when someone is high is them murdering a bag of Doritos. What a nut job.

Nooo way that smoking weed causes things like this. Noo waaay 🤣
@@jaggercruz i Kinda agree but u can't use yourself as an example for how other people would behave

@@l_ifeefi_l1998 that's not true at all, stop being racist
I’ve always wanted to go to Japan but 3 things always kept me away: 1) cost/money 2) I wanted to passable learn the language and 3) I’ve always known and heard about their stigma towards disabled and I AM disabled (multiple disabilities actually) and have feared how I would be treated. They’re already less receptive towards foreigners sometimes. But with disabilities I fear not being serviced at stores and cabs, the looks and judgement, etc.

Then don’t go. Find another country to visit.
Hey there, I came back from Japan not a week ago and I thought I'd share my perspective.
1) the flight cost aside, the dollar/yen exchange rate is great
2) I recommend this. I didn't know any Japanese and had to rely on Google Translate. You can get around with no Japanese knowledge as a lot of signage is in English, but it really helps to know Japanese.
3) I found Japan to be spotty about accessibility. I'm invisibly disabled/chronically ill so I wasn't discriminated on that basis, no one really cared, but Japan doesn't have a lot of public benches to rest (so prepare to have a café budget) and a lot of the bar-style restaurants (like, the food is served at a counter) aren't places you can rest, you have to eat and get out because there's a line waiting. I did see a few people with mobility aids getting around the train stations fine. There are elevators/ramps and there were train cars that had spots specifically for wheelchairs. I didn't see anyone being rude to anyone using a mobility aid, but I did find that some places were inaccessible because they were so /small./ I couldn't imagine fitting a wheelchair through some of those aisles. I think you'd just have to research what places are accessible before going.
I used to live in Japan. I arrived there when this case was on trial. While going through culture shock and adjusting to the ridiculous heat, I was blown away by how the Japanese media covered this trial. It was almost as if the victims killed were ghosts to everyone. Meawhile I would tune into Canadian coverage and they were calling it a hate crime and heavily criticizing Japan. I'm a behaviour consultant and therapist and my first job out of university and before I moved to Japan was working with individuals with severe autism spectrum disorder. Working with those individuals while tough was such a rewarding experience. Yes, they may not have been as capable as "typical people," they were all so special and intelligent in their own ways. One of the first things I noticed in Japan was that you didn't really see people with disabilities out in the streets and I had to do some research to figure out where they all were in the prefecture I was living. It's tragic that Japan's homogenous conformant society views persons with disabilities as less than and an embarrassment. As mentioned in this video the victims deserve their recognition. Japan is slowly changing I truly hope for the better. Hopefully one day people with disabilities will be celebrated and recognized as equals globally.
Same I also brought this questions in Korea and got the same response. After watching many cases I learned the word intelligent means very little. You can supposedly be school smart but lack in human compassion. So in the end your just with an intelligent socialpath.
Have you really lived in Japan?
I see wheelchair commuters and blind people going out alone every day in Japan
I'm not sure what part of Japan you were in, but I see mentally disabled Japanese all the time. They usually have a volunteer minder with them, and you can instantly spot them because they both are wearing matching IDs. I would say I see them on a nearly daily basis. On the train, the pools where I swim and at my work station.
Odd about Canada as they are euthanasizing disabled, ill. Suggesting if they need help to request euthanasia.
Thank you! ❤ I hope so as well, I’m tired of feeling like I need to think of myself as a “tragedy” or some shit.
Dude makes a clear show of intent.

This is a place where they dont recognize mental health issues, not even in hospitals made to treat patients WITH mental health condition. Tragic.
Disabled people get abused everywhere in the world, people take advantages of them and commit crimes against them. This is just sickening 💔
They can go to hell for all I care, it's hard to believe people with stable minds could take advantage of people with disabilities. It really infuriates me.
This happens to seniors, orphans, and disabled vet homes as well and also special Education from time to time.
that's ableism.. you can research that term. in the usa, iirc, disabled people can be paid under minimum wage for example.
Our CIS countries are notorious for many terrible things, but disabled people actually have some respect here and usually getting treated as normal humans. But when it comes to taking care of them, both government and their families usually turning back on them. I never saw a person in a wheelchair who would be dressed well and clean.
Even here in Germany it still happens quite a bit,since this country is very focused on work.I am almost blind with nystagmus and my boyfriend is paralyzed waist down and we get insulted and harassed by our neighbors weekly,at least.and even tho I experience it in my daily life,it still Schocks me how people could behave this way
I am a Japanese living in Japan.
This tragic incident was widely reported in Japan.
The fact that the victim's name was not disclosed was controversial in Japan.
It is true that Japan lags behind other countries in understanding and supporting people with illnesses and disabilities.
As an intellectually disabled person myself, I have experienced discrimination and prejudice on several occasions.
However, I feel that things are gradually changing for the better.
I now live alone while receiving social services.
i hope you'll always stay safe.
That’s great!
RIP to all those people who lost their lives. We here on youtube recognize them as human beings. They were valued💚💙💛

@@Awesomeficationify that's an excellent perspective.. automatically I was pissed about his outlook on disabled people because of me having the most amazing, kind, beautiful son who just so happens to be disabled. You gave me another way to look at it. Thank you
@@Awesomeficationify You don't need to have a mental disorder to commit mass murder some people just chose to be cruel and it's wrong to speculate that he has a mental disorder. You're adding more stigma to people with mental disorders which are more likely to be victims of crimes than to commit them.
@@torachan23 couldn't have put it better myself
They had all the warnings they needed, they just didn't care about...
The Japanese public's silence about the victims as persons with disabilities seems to provide tacit support to the killer's rationale for attacking and killing them as useless and worthy of extermination. I'm an American of Japanese ancestry who has lived and worked in Japan. I was very struck by the stigma attached to people with physical, cognitive, or psychological disabilities - one that extends to their families. Some families are still known to shut in such members from the public within their homes in shame. An advocate for persons with physical disabilities once was shown on the news in his wheelchair "invading" the parliament (the Japanese Diet building) in his wheelchair to demonstrate how many barriers there are to finally getting to the place where the public can provide public testimony. He was overwhelmingly derided as a "troublemaker" and "nuisance"....
Reminds me of America pre 1976. Sheesh, this is just disgusting. :(

@FIGHTFANNERD9 Would it?? I don't know if how eliminating a handful of disabled people will stimulate the world economy. I doubt it would even stimulate the local economy.
This guy made it seem like you just get rid of some of the disabled and, BOOM, instant economical prosperity. I half expected a monologue about how the strong should fight for what they want and blah blah Outer Haven.
It’s interesting that the Paralympics was mentioned. I’m from Australia and I just read a article about a Australian swimmer who pulled out because she was blind and deaf and was terrified to go to Tokyo because of how poorly she was helped at the Rio Olympics. She had to give up her dream because she was only allowed to have one attendant help her and because it was her mother her mother wasn’t allowed to go into different parts of the village. So at one stage she was too terrified to go out to get food or water and was balled up on the floor sobbing and starving when it was meant to be a highlight in her career. So depressing that a event that is meant to empower people isn’t really doing what it can for it’s athletes.
Wait, blind and deaf? Not being rude but how she communicate? Deaf mean she cant talk too right?
@@user-wg3js6uv7z blind and deaf people can still use sign language 🤟 and can feel vibrations
@@pinkrosa44 But how to teach them? Blind people can hear, deaf people can see, thats how we teach them. But if you are blind, deaf and cannot talk, how? Im still so confused
@@user-wg3js6uv7z I will try my best to explain this to you and everyone else who has the same question. Those who are visually and auditorily impaired are still able to communicate. First of all, it is important to note that just because a person is identified as someone who is "visually and auditorily impaired", that does *not* mean they have severe loss in both impairments. There is a spectrum where the individual is *either* more severely impaired visually or auditorily. Based on which impairment is severe or less severe, there are various methods used in today's society to aid in communication.
Individuals in their early years will be recommended to use cochlear implant or hearing aids. If your auditory impairment is severe, cochlear implants (similar to hearing aids but are surgically implanted to stimulate the cochlear nerve to improve the ability to hear) are used. If it is not that severe, hearing aids are recommended.
After using this aid for hearing, the next step is usually to pick a communication approach. Those with severe visual impairment choose an auditory speech approach which is basically learning through using listening cues rather than visual cues. Those with less visual impairments, choose a visual communication approach.
The main forms of communications are:
1. Sign language; depending on how restricted their peripheral vision is most signs are modified and signed in a small area - ex. closer to the chest.
2. Braille; and to communicate with people who do not understand sign language or braille, there is interpretive technology like the screen braille communicator which helps to display sentences typed in braille for the other person to read. For telephone services people use technology called "telebraille".
3. There are cases where individuals use a mix of both approaches and especially use braille and tactile signing. Tactile signing is by using touch - techniques include hands on signing, tracking, tactile fingerspelling, tracing letters on palm, braille signing, etc.
4. Other techniques are learned too such as speech reading (watching and understanding speech by reading the lips). Another technique which is difficult and not used much these days is called "Tadoma" where the individual places their fingers around the jaw, lips or neck to feel vibrations and other patterns to understand speech. Lastly, there are people who are trained to accommodate those with visual and auditory impairments. I hope I covered everything, and you understand better now.
@@maryc333 which mean, they might be Blind and Deaf but doesnt mean they are fully blind and deaf? Thats easy to understand
I was living with my host family in Sagamihara at the time of this attack, by the way. They never said a single word about it, even if it came on the news. Chilling.
My biological family in the states would message me about whether I was safe from earthquakes that happened across the country, but never heard of this incident IN MY CITY. Very near to me. Isn't that so weird?
Thank you for such a compassionate cover of this tragic case❤
As a person with cerebral palsy this is gutting to me. In America the ADA isn’t perfect but good gosh, looking at this makes me realize that in certain countries the disabled aren’t welcomed or wanted 😢
Japan has a lot of problems with eugenics/nationalism/racism. They have actually made an effort to rebrand their country as "uwu anime land" to make people forget their imperialist past, WWII, and their current problematic ideology. It's actually really interesting if you have time to check it out in more depth.
I know it's not the same but my aunt wants to open her own care home for old people. She herself works as a care taker and doesn't like how a lot of people working in this field treat the patients without any kind of love and care.
We personally don't have anyone with body disabilities in our family but we had elderly aunts and uncles suffering from illnesses and just the thought of trusting your family to people who would treat them bad or like a burden, when they're so vulnerable...is just awful....
People with any form of disability can’t even get a covid shot there
lol so much, shameless, shameless hypocrisy here, tar pit calling kettle black
I am guessing that a lot of it has to do with how recently and rapidly they industrialized. In the past, someone with a physical disability basically couldn't do anything of use because 99.999% of all of the jobs were heavy physical labor.
But in modern times most jobs are just desk jobs that you could be paralyzed from the waist down and have arthritis and muscular dystrophy and as long as you can move your head and arms you can do pretty much every job that any other desk worker could do.
I am by no means sure of this it's just speculation. I personally am disabled but pretty much 100% function compared to normal people however in the pre-1935 or so time period I would be super super super dead.
The thing that freaks me out about the photos of this guy is that he looks... sentient? You know how a lot of killers have this glassy, animal, or blank look in their face? He doesn't have that. He's crystal clear aware of everything he's doing. Terrifying.
Because it is ideology driven. In his logic he did something right and didn't killed humans but "things" which burden society. It is a mechanism by the psyche to de-humanise the victim. You can do this with a certain percentage of every society with intelligent propaganda.
shut up
I've seen a video about a psychopath who killed a dozon people like 20-30 years ago, he was a very charming and charismatic guy who also was on TV. nobody though he could hurt a fly, they know better now
What nonsense
I mean.... most people are aware of what they're doing, see this is the problem. You people tend to be so oblivious and want to always view people as innocent when that's almost never the case. That's like when a 12yr old kills people "oh they're just a kid they don't know any better" lmfao no, no they definitely know what they're doing.
I love your account you bring a lot of awareness to these cases, which i haven’t heard of until now
I just wanted to say that I applaud you for the upmost respect you have for the victims and survivors in all the crimes you cover. I’m a fairly new subscriber and I hope your channel goes from strength to strength. Your videos are well thought out and produced, and much better than some found on TV these days.

Words can not express how sorry I am for the victims. The stigma of disabilities in Japan and the rest of the world is unfathomable. This sick mindset needs to be changed asap. I have no sympathy for the murderer. I have no respect for all the people involved that were aware of his plan but set him free anyway.
Who set him free?
Ok, like imagine this… you are born in a country that has never lost a war. Ever. In the entirety of history your home has remained pure and un-invaded because your ancestors fought hard.
Then America comes along and utterly humiliates you. Then America drops two nukes on you. You need to be re-educated. You need to be in rain washed. You need to forget your glorious past in order to stop acting the way you did to make America angry.
Solution: we don’t talk about the war. We don’t talk about nukes. We don’t talk about disfigured people from the wars and bombs.
Fast forward to the 80s… yep, they were right.

I can sorta understand the reasoning having severe disabilities myself. Seeing someone clearly suffering with no real way out is quite disturbing to people but cutting them up was not the answer. :edit: to the dipshits who can't read, i'm not encouraging eugenics. A lot of people are horrified by seeing terminally ill people deteriorating but don't go on mass murders, the offer palliative care and the like. The hospital had a lot of end stage dementia patients. jesus christ calm the fuck down.
I watch a lot of true crime channels so naturally I stumbled across this one. And wow I was not let down. You’re great at reporting these stories. Thank you for your work. Almost done watching all of your videos already and I just discovered you a few days ago 🤣
My pleasure! New one tomorrow (Monday) :)
This hurts my heart so badly. I hope the tide against discrimination turns soon. Excellent work as always.
As a former caregiver to mentally disabled adults, it makes me absolutely sick hearing what that monster did to the clients. May they rest in peace and be remembered by their families and friends.
what scared me about Satoshi was the look and the smile he had on.
Yeah, I hate that face of his
My blood started boiling, he's PROUD of murdering innocent people who did nothing wrong
Smug and arrogant
Ngl he could get it tho
I just had to thank you for the giggle at the end! Bonk😊... especially after such a disturbing case.!!! And excellent job covering it with such compassion!
Thank you for shining a light on this atrocious case of discrimination. I had no idea this was occurring. It's inhumane.
“They told people exactly what they planned to do, but everyone assumed they weren’t serious “ is quote the tragic and disturbing pattern. I’ve heard it enough in stories like this that anyone who tells me they’re going to do something terrible as a “joke” is in big trouble, because if I have anything to say about it, the next person they tell that “joke” to will be a police officer
This is something i find really frustrating about the current discourse in the US, and unfortunately what you are describing is not an accident. People fight hard for the 'right' and 'acceptance' to tell such 'jokes' because they also are aware that a small number of people who say the same thing will take action. This means they can menace people since no one knows if they are really kidding or not.
neeneko that’s disturbing but true 😳😢
I've heard about way too many cases where the criminal literally admitted to a friend/family member or a stranger that they would commit a terrible crime, but no one said anything bc they thought it was a "joke", it's a huge warning sign, no normal person is gonna give you an entire plan that they made to kill a bunch of disabled bc they are disabled as a "joke"
Yasmin Chan right?! I understand a dark sense of humor ; I have one of those. But there’s a huge difference between a moment of dark humor and a detailed plan to kill a bunch of people .
Hahahhahahaa
The only issue with this being such a new channel is it only takes a few days to watch it all 😭

@@joeschmoe3815 Shut up, Joe. These Things take time to change. I’d people are too afraid to push the government for Change because they want to be respected and go about their lives in peaceful bliss, they won’t change a thing. It’s life. I do believe that Karma comes To anyone deserving of it no matter what language they may speak or what nationality they are.
Uematsu: *wants to exterminate mentally disabled people, saying their lives don't matter to society*
Also Uematsu: *through his massacre, actually ends up helping Japanese people realize the harmful effects of their stigma concerning mentally disabled people*
Ironic. I mean I know the issue is still there, but from what I heard about his case, he did kind of do the opposite of what he claims to have set out to. Instead of showing people how useless and unnecessary disabled people are, he wound up causing people to sympathize with them.
I’m gonna make Japan think twice about helping the mentally unstable... by showing how much they need to help them.
@@freddymcshreddy6586 Pretty much.
It's what makes True Crime so fascinating. Every killer is formed or shaped by their environment and experiences in life, and each make a truely fascinating case study for this.
And while killers react to their surroundings, the question remains if the surroundings react to the killer. In this case especially, since the culture is heavily stigmatizing the victims. Not naming the victims out of respect, may indeed be a huge disservice to those victims, and people left alive like them.
Time may tell.
@@MrYelly Agreed. Though there might be some form of respect for the victims in it, but the presence of stigma for mental disability is interesting in this case.
There certainly has been an immediate reaction to the killer from the environment, just as the killer reacted to his environment. We'll see if it will last.
@@darklord884 Same as with the family of the victims; the system basically allows them to absolve themselves of the negative connotations that the stigma carries. I fail to see how adhering to that flawed mentality is respective towards anyone.
Japanese society has no place for these people, because it doesn't want to offer that space or attention. The parents just sway alongside that barbarism, as is expected of them.
In Australia. I have two autistic grandsons who have the best support in special education. I feel truly blessed
Congratulations! And thank you for your thoughtful presentation regarding the human rights of people with disabilities.
Writing that letter announcing his plans would be seen as crazy anywhere else, but in Japan where he knew the attitudes to people with disabilities, he knew he was safe in doing that, so within Japanese culture, not crazy at all. This is Japan's greatest shame.
Yeah! Just because of International pressure they felt themselves obligated to exterminate him!
Japan's greatest shame is not apologising properly for WW2. And for treatment of their Christian minority in the past. It's a sign of greatness when one apologises, it's a sign of weakness and insecurity when one doesn't.
Japan has a very low crime rate
But a very high rate of very disturbing crimes

After hearing how Japan is so discriminatory and ashamed of disabled people, I am really surprised that they would have even bid to host the ParaOlympics!
Where else can you see disabled people struggle to complete tasks so easily? It’s probably the ultimate entertainment for them lol
@@Boodoo4You lol now that you think about it…
There's a good chance that they accepted having the Paralympics in order to host the Olympics. It would seem they go together.
The almighty $
@ANYTHNG G03S except that hosting Olympics is costing Japan way more than it will ever generate. Couple that with COVID restrictions including no foreign visitors (maybe even no domestic spectators) and it’s a huge monetary disaster.
This video is very misleading. Although there is stigma surrounding mental and physical disability. It’s not black and white. For example; Japan has very disable people-friendly infrastructure. It’s much easier for a blind person to live independently in Japan than in US. Similarly almost everything’s wheelchair accessible.
What’s so sad is the fact that the victims names are withheld, it’s as if they never existed. May they Rest In Peace
Congratulations and thankful watch your channel grow! Well-deserved. I have always appreciated your respectful nature in regards to the victim's, place names, and so on. Excited for more
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 has done a lot to help disabled people be treated better in America. Simple things like requiring wheelchair access to buildings has been an amazing help. My mom is in a wheelchair and it would be so much harder to take her to the doctor, etc, if I had to struggle over curbs and through doors that weren’t wide enough for wheelchairs. I think Japan needs to pass similar legislation. And to the naysayers, I’m not trying to push my Western ideals on the East. There are basic human rights that every individual should have, regardless of disability. The ethical argument is not one of culture but of humanity.
yes you are trying to push western ideals to japanese culture, japan not the whole of asia is featured in this video, and its pointless to compare western mindset to a very crude, almost obsolete way of reasoning of japanese culture, i get that ur mom is in a wheelchair, i am a rehab specialist and we are a million miles away from japanese stigma
@@belletim1086 basic human rights isn't western ideals? Like this is basic empathy we're talking about and no one really mentioned the entirety of asia aside from maybe the 'east', but again that's in reference to culture. They're talking about basic human rights being denied on the basis of being disabled which is shit and objectively just stupid.
Japan has similar legislation to that
I’ve been a wheelchair since I was a teenager, before the passage of ADA in the US. I’ve also been lucky enough to have a professional career that’s allowed me to travel throughout Europe and parts of Asia, both as a professional representing my organization and as a simple tourist. There’s really no comparison for access: the US is much more accessible for the physically disabled, the blind, and deaf. But major cities everywhere are modernizing, and I found modern accessible buildings and facilities in Istanbul, Ankara, London, Paris and more.
But there was a major lack in Japan of even rudimentary access for disabled people even in the larger cities, and people were honestly surprised to see me out and about and traveling alone. It really disturbed them on a visceral level. It was also very awkward when I represented my organization in Asia, as most of my colleagues in Japan and South Korea previously had no idea I was in a wheelchair (it wasn’t relevant) and couldn’t really process that I was senior to them and, while I was there to gather information and listen to their views, ultimately I outranked almost all of the people I met with and therefore, my decision was final.
Obviously, my sample size is very limited, but after forty years in a wheelchair living very independently in a large suburb in the US, I was surprised at the continued lack of access elsewhere. The lack of opportunity was pretty stark. It was always, why would someone in a wheelchair be alone on the street? Who would push the wheelchair (as if that’s needed always)? Why would we need to print Braille menus when the blind person’s companion could read it to them? Why should government organizations have sign language interpreters? Couldn’t they just write down whatever information was needed? Those cultural shifts haven’t happened everywhere yet, but I’ve seen some positive signs everywhere. And no, the US is far from perfect. Try to hail a taxi in NYC while in a wheelchair, or try to take their subway system or a bus.
JJ UK is better? Do you live with someone who uses a wheelchair or scooter and try to get into places of importance that won't just let you do things over and phone or internet, like banks? Because they have steps. Up to the disabled button.
If places have a ramp it's a silly little portable one that the employees have to get up from their desks to get out of a cupboard and set up and ughhhhhh why can't they just send someone in and sit in the rain/sun/whatever weather while we deal with the carer or stranger that doesn't have the access to the moneys?
Also my entire school experience being HoH, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. It was my fault for 'not listening' because they talked to the board, barely wrote anything of use on it for how much they wanted me to lipread through their spine and refused to very simply wear the microphone around their necks like a lanyard that transmitted sound to me because they were tired or whatever. And never made the kids around stop messing around and be quiet, which is what my ASSISTANT had to focus on doing. Every single school.
This type of discrimination and ignorance towards people with disabilities breeds people with ideologies like the killer.
Same thought process that existed when the Nazis commend disabled people as waste still exist in Japan what ashame
If that were the case wouldn't it be more prevalent and even still be part of the national policy? They have clearly moved away from the genocideing. There are going to be people that believe this crap no matter what, even if it is 100% normal even if the government has complete control humans are still able to think which means this is just a way of life.

Imagine being that doctor who deemed him no threat to society 🙄
"Do you still want to kill the disabled?"
"No"
"Alright, he's clear"
Doctors can't always be right. They can only make conclusions based on observations and guesses, and sometimes these conclusions end up being wrong. We don't know what happened during the examination that led the doctor to believe that he's not a threat. For all we know the guy could've put up a pretty convincing act. We should refrain from criticizing something we don't know about.
But of course there's people like you on the internet, not knowing the full picture yet acting like you're some kind of psychiatrist who could've done it better.

As Japanese myself, getting too much attention like the West is not always how we roll in Japanese society. "Respect" is a huge part so in this case, the families and survivors can also choose the way to not get exposed on any types of media platforms like this. So to speak, it is a cultural difference. Shames against disabled people still remain and that is NOT ok but a lot of entities have been trying and learning to get better.
Well said
It must be terribly hard for the survivors of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The fact that they survived must be hard for them. Off topic, sorry.

The irony that his thought process on how disabled people should be treated is, in itself, is a psychiatric disorder lmao
Who knows, perhaps his own rage at himself not being able to fit in made him lash out at others who didn't "fit in" in his eyes. It's not far off from how victims become perpetrators sometimes. Horrible thing that this person did! That's why we need adequate mental help available for everyone, to prevent at least some of these horrendous crimes.
Exactly this. People who severely require help, instead bottle it up, and mask it out of fear for society, only to spin out of control and commit the heinous acts they end up committing. That entire system is set on self-destruct.

"Made in Japan" today means something that's made with precision and of quality material - cars, cameras, computers, etc. Unfortunately, the Japanese people are still living in about the 6th century.
A number of years ago I was traveling frequently to Singapore and often transited Osaka's airport. While waiting to change planes one day I noticed a group of young female uniformed airline employees in a huddle all giggling and covering their mouths. I then realized that what they found so hilarious was an old woman who was an airport cleaner. She walked slowly with a distinct limp as she pushed her trash can on wheels and carefully swept the shining floors. It told me everything I needed to know about Japan.
Japanese girls can be acting nice upfront but have a bad side. In short, two faced. How sad for the old woman😞
agree.
And you live in the 6th century BC.
Dude that happens so often everywhere
my new favorite channel for true crime reports!
The thought of these victims essentially 'being denied' their existence through the withholding of their names, because of their families wishes. That just crushed me and made me shed a few tears. That's just straight fucked up. I hope the reality isn't quite how it seems, but who knows.
You do know most avoid naming the victims to avoid the media right? Not everyone view the naming being in public as virtuous and justifiable, because the media usually have no shame on how they make money
@@alexandersmith4731 Maybe, but those victims are now forgotten because their families are embarrassed of them and all we know about is the murderer is what theyre talking about. It even said their names werent withheld out of respect but out of embarrassment and not wanting people to know their family is disabled. Funny how you get so angry about that, "YOU KNOW MOST AVOID.." like that factoid is something everyone should know and if they dont theyre ignorant. But your brain seems to always be on leave as you missed that too, but then again you do listen to live action beauty and the beast music so.. looks like this is just funny.
@@ParasiteEvel The victims are not forgotten, they have an annual memorial for them every year since the incident, and most of the victims names are known to the public but 18 of the victims names are unknown, despite the 19 death, we do know one of the name from the group whose life was taken away, they choose to held them out of the families request because the families want to mourn in peace and not remember them only as people being murdered out of hate due to their disabilities or be used as a media plaything
Ytubers are lazy, don't rely on them for information, especially many crime stories ones, and yes, I do like BATB live action but not in English cause they suck
@@ParasiteEvel they would've been forgotten regardless the only difference is now the families can have peace instead of being harassed by other people and/or media
Plot twist : the minister did accept his offer and told the doctors to release him. He then carries on with his plans. Satoshi was already deemed mentally ill to them, and to satoshi's mind he'd be doing the world a favor and would be glad to execute his plans knowing what would have become of him.
Would explain why this case is so dissapointing. The way the people in power reacted poorly to this massive red flag, and how he did everything smoothly was super shady tbh
To be very honest, I wondered if this was the case as well.....

IMO this was definitely a hate crime. It’s extremely sad that the victims weren’t named. They were/are far more than a just a disability!
The country that completely stigmatizes disabled people is getting the Paralympics.. They don't deserve the revenue it brings. But if it brings more awareness and compassion to the people that need it then fair enough.
I'm more disgusted with the country than I am for the person who committed the crime.
@@Kevin-cw8of Why? You can find a reason to turn your nose up in disgust for any country, either in the present or in the past. Why single out Japan? They did give the murderer the death penalty. You can't say the same for a place like Norway that gives serial killers 18 years with eligibility for parole in 10 routinely.
@@michaels7325 Yeah, man. If you think about it most countries are fucked up. Countries in general are a concept made to control and regulate people.
Oh man, that's such a good point!
@@scruffymakaveli6870 no, they're not lmao.
"He suggested murdering disabled pople by himself to prevent WW 3"..... Well, there was a certain man before and in WW 2, who had basically the same idea... Just sad to see that ideologies like this still exist today...
hence the phrase, “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
Do not forget Japan fought on the side of the nazis
