«Around 11.40 pm on September 4th, the famous Japanese director Takeshi Kitano was suddenly attacked in the dedicated parking area of Tokyo TBS TV station, when he was about to return home by car after finished his news show Shin Joho Seven Days Newscaster a live on TBS TV station!
An individual – armed with a pick and knife – attacked the vehicle after asking the director to get out from the middle. The attacker, a man in his forties, started hitting the car with a pickaxe, damaging the windshield and other parts of the bodywork (the car’s windshield and the driver’s side window were both shattered), and immediately a security guard called the police.
It is understood that the assailant held an iron pick and slammed the window of Takeshi Kitano. Fortunately, the Japanese police arrived in time and caused no casualties. After arresting the suspect, the police discovered that the man who intended to attack Kitano was a man in his 40s. In addition to an iron pick, the man was also carrying a sharp knife about 10 cm in length that night.
From the point of view of the murder weapon, this suspect was clearly prepared. It is estimated that if the police did not arrive in time, the consequences would be disastrous.
In this regard, the former inspector of the Japanese Special Search Department, Maeda Hirohiko, interpreted and said:
In Japan, the iron pick is not within the scope of the "Gunknife Act", but the man was arrested on the spot by the police for violating the "Gunknife Act" because the knife he was carrying was about 10cm long, because the knife belonged to The scope of the Japanese Gun Knife Law.
In addition, it is very likely that someone will be stabbed by this knife, so it is certain that the attacker has quite dangerous criminal behavior. However, it is better for Mr. Kitano and other related personnel not to be injured than anything else.
According to future searches, the assailant should be filed together for several crimes including "atrocity crimes" and "instrument damage crimes". In addition, based on motives, history, and specific criminal conditions, the possibility of filing a case for attempted homicide is not ruled out, and television stations should also be required to improve the existing security system.
The aggressor is said to have felt "ignored" this past June when he waited for Kitano, telling investigators, "I got down on my knees near the car and begged him to help me enter the world of show business, but he ignored me".
The man has admitted to the attack, but the Metropolitan Police added that sometimes his comments did not make sense.
Kitano debuted in the 1970s as part of a comedy duo called the Two Beats. During the 1980s, Kitano became one of the biggest TV celebrities in Japan. That same decade he appeared in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence and worked on the 1986 Famicom game Takeshi’s Challenge, considered one of the worst games ever made. He made his film directing debut in 1989's Violent Cop after Kinji Fukasaku wasn’t able to helm the picture. Since then, he’s become one of Japan’s most internationally acclaimed filmmakers (he won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1997 for the film Hana-bi – Fiori of fire and the Silver Lion in 2003 for Zatōichi).
His style is deviant, but his popularity remains high. One of the most important reasons the Japanese like him is because of his "mouth that dare to say anything!".
He used to:
He scolded TV TOKYO and scolded the boss of the TV station until he lost his temper;
Swearing at the government, so that leaders must apologize publicly for issues left over from history;
Swearing at men who hold the power, saying that they control the power and squeeze female leaders;
Swearing at Japanese traditional culture, saying "Wabi Ji", "Sorrow", and "Cutting abdomen" culture are all understood as incompetence...
And just recently, Kitano even bombarded the Tokyo Olympics. He said that the opening ceremony of this Olympics was really unexpectedly bad. Because it was too embarrassing, he did not even dare to go out of the country, and even directly asked for a refund... ...
So some people speculate that the attack by Takeshi Kitano should have something to do with previous sharp remarks!».
