In the latest Olympic "clean-up" operation, now Chiyoda ward -- a large district in central Tokyo -- is following the efforts of police in Akihabara to crack down on "walking dates" passing new local legislation to ban them from April 1st.
In so-called "JK osanpo" men meet with girls they believe are high school students (the "JK" stands for "joshi kousei") and go on a "walk" with them, often culminating at a love hotel. These may be services that are prostitution in disguise or they may be more covertly arranged through individuals over websites. Some people don't just want sex, ...
We all have images we like to look at when we, you know, service ourselves.
Purikura are the "photo club" booths popular with young Japanese, who pose and then customize and decorate the images with their friends.
This guy seems to have a serious thing for not only female high school students -- who can blame him?! -- but also the pictures of the girls taken in the Purikura booths.
This picture was originally posted by the man himself on Twitter before it exploded online and earned the scorn of 2ch.
Fortunately he is wearing a (scary) mask but his lair, decorated floor to ...
Teachers are of course charged with looking after the future generation. But all teachers are human. Perhaps some a little too human.
Previously a model employee, one 29-year-old maths teacher in Toyama Prefecture got himself into some trouble recently when he was particularly imprudent with his choice of lady on a deaikei ("encounters"!) dating site. Masato Terao groomed a girl that he thought was a junior high schooler into having a liaison with him in a hotel for the princely sum of ¥30,000.
They then met in a hotel in Toyama City to conduct the business transaction.
It turned ...
As widely reported in the media, the police have begun a new campaign cracking down on so-called "walking dates" in Akihabara in Tokyo.
On Monday night, a dragnet of 100 police officers raided the famed electronics shopping and otaku subculture district in search of girls of schoolgirl age standing on the streets.
Apparently ten girls under 18 were taken into "protective custody". Their crime? Wearing a school uniform on the streets of Akihabara.
Recent concerns about walking dates recall the media frenzy on enjo kosai in the 1990's, though this is supposed to be the first major ...
If you spot a man with scissors on a train, he may not be dangerous but he may be seeking out an unusual method for satisfying his fetish.
Especially if he is Masamitsu Ando.
Chiba police arrested Ando last Thursday for cutting the skirt of a junior high school student the previous day.
The schoolgirl was on a JR train very early in the morning from from Tateyama to Chiba when the 41-year-old company employee used scissors to cut her skirt when she was sleeping in the seat next to him.
Young girls should know better than to dozen on trains in Japan, given the danger of being ...
Could this have something to do with "cleaning up" Japan ahead of the upcoming Olympics in 2020?
We haven't heard much about a crackdown on enjo kosai for a little while now, after the media panicked about it a few years ago. But the police have launched a big internet hunt for schoolgirls prostituting themselves through euphemisms.
This will officially begin on October 21st, aimed at schoolgirls selling used panties or otherwise offering their bodies for willing men.
This year, as part of a trial period of the cyber investigation in ten prefectures, they have nabbed 97 minors. ...
If you're a young girl in school in Japan, take a close look around you.
Are those boys in your class really boys? One of them might just be a much older guy in disguise!
That is, if the recent case in Kumamoto is anything to go by. A 33-year-old man in Kumamoto City on the southern island of Kyushu had a fetish for schoolgirls' uniforms and just had to get his hands on some. His target was a private high school in the city.
Contract employee Akira Katayama was arrested on Sunday for theft, though you've got to admire his stealth and bravado. He put on a male uniform for the school ...
Well, the Safe Sex Association would be proud.
It is very popular for young Japanese schoolgirls to pose for group pictures in purikura, customizable photo booths where you can add dollops of cute decoration to images.
These six ladies have gone the extra mile to add a message that's both personal and social.
Contraception.
As the writing says, "We use condoms."
Would you like to partake of some safe sex with these lovely six lasses?
The usual Japanese approach to condoms is not to bother, despite love hotels providing them as a courtesy beside all beds and local maker ...
Saitama might well have a reputation as a boring suburb of Tokyo but some places aren't as dull as they sound.
Japan might also be a nation with 25% older population but the seniors can't be accused of being anything but active.
One man was recently arrested for being a little too vigorous, in fact. 64-year-old Yoshio Shimazaki of Utsunomiya in Tochigi had some urges and knew where to do go to sort it out. He went to Saitama.
In November 2011 at a love hotel in Kawaguchi City he gave a female high school student ¥20,000 and then had her perform bondage play with him. At the time the ...
Naoki Nakatani. An ordinary 30-year-old guy from Ibogawacho in Hyogo prefecture. Or is he?
Our friend Naoki here has been been selling some clothes via online auctions. Nothing unusual in that.
Except that he has been selling raincoats. A lot of them. And they have the names of girls' high schools written on them, as one person who bought a raincoat from Nakatani found out.
Correctly assuming it was stolen, the customer contacted police, who then began to investigate.
Over the last six years, he had apparently visited local supermarket bicycle parking areas dozens of times and ...
