Yamagata Education Board announced on October 17 that it had suspended a foreign assistant language teacher for six months for taking photos up girls' skirts in Tokyo.
The unnamed man in his thirties works at high schools in the prefecture.
The teacher is accused of using his phone to take pics up women's skirts on escalators in Tokyo Station and a mall on a trip to the capital last month. At the mall, another woman realized and alerted a security guard, who was able to apprehend the foreign and call police.
He was taken for questioning by Tokyo police, who then told his workplace.
"I let ...
Middle-aged male teacher conspires with college student for upskirting in Tokyo

Yesterday we shared the news about an elementary school teacher suspended (but allowed to keep his job) for downloading child porn.
Now comes a story involving another educator up to no good in Japan.
A male teacher in his forties has been arrested for taking videos up girls' skirts in escalators in Tokyo.
The man is a teacher at a public elementary school in Urayasu, Chiba, according to multiple media reports this week.
Upskirting is a huge fetish in Japan, inspiring a unique word (panchira) to describe the thrill of glimpsing female panties up a skirt. Secret filming (especially in ...
High school baseball cheerleaders don shorts to protect against voyeurism

Where do fantasies about schoolgirls go too far? One example could be when you're upskirting schoolgirls at events.
School events are meant to be for kids, parents, and teachers. But it seems that some people -- perhaps sex-starved male parents! -- are more focused on the skimpy clothing that cheerleaders wear during school sporting tournaments, and take inappropriate pictures of them.
Female cheerleaders at the Koshien annual high school baseball tournament, which begins today, are often targets of sexualized photographs by some spectators.
Given that the young ladies are wearing ...
Kobe drain pervert is back, caught filming up schoolgirl skirts

Just when you thought it was safe to walk by a drain in a skirt, the drain pervert is back!
If you live in Kobe, be sure to check the drains before walking over them.
Police in the West Japan city have arrested the 36-year-old Yasuomi Hirai for setting up a phone in a roadside drain in order to take videos of schoolgirls.
He was caught when the camera was filming an 18-year-old school student at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon on September 8. And he was found out because the girl was a Good Samaritan. She noticed the phone in the drain and took it to a police substation, believing it was ...
Japan raises national age of consent to 16, criminalizes voyeurism
June 19, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
It has long been common to see claims that Japan's age of consent was just 13, which would lead to lazy generalizations that this was why there was so much loli porn.
Of course, in practice, this was never true: local ordinances against lewd actors with minors meant the actual age of consent was typically 18 and on par with (if not higher than) most other countries in the Global North.
It was true, though, that the national age of consent was 13, unchanged since 1907. (For context, age of consent is 14 in Germany, Italy, and China, and 15 in France.)
This has now changed after lawmakers ...
70% of Japanese flight attendants report experience of illicit photographing
March 13, 2023

The flight attendant is, of course, a much-fetishized occupation. They rank highly among male fantasies, whether that's joining the mile high club mid-flight while receiving some extra service, or having a liaison at an airport hotel during a stop between flights. Themed costumes are one way to sate your appetite for flight attendant sex role plays (and if you're alone, how about a flight attendant pocket pussy?).
Other guys adopt a different approach, it seems.
According to a report from the Kyodo news agency, around 70% of Japanese flight attendants say people have taken photos of them ...
Rainy season brings wet, windy days perfect for upskirting schoolgirls
June 15, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Rainy season has officially begun in Tokyo. Last year's season was protracted and desultory, stretching on until July. We hope that won't be the case this year, though the measures against the coronavirus will mean that many places are anyway closed and typical summer events won't happen.
When the rains started last week, they brought with them winds.
All this spelled trouble for commuters, struggling to get to work against the elements. And for schoolgirls, it was especially difficult conditions to walk around in.
Even more so in if you have a voyeur on your trail. Schoolgirls must deal ...
If you've got it, flaunt it. The adage really is true when it comes to women who know they are hot and aren't shy to show us. And we thank the Shinto gods that there are plenty of such women in Asia.
This particular sexy lady was snapped out and about shopping in the city. She's every inch the metropolitan-chic woman: Starbucks drink in one hand as she makes a phone call with the other while walking through a store. And to top it off, she's wearing skintight leggings-style pants. And no panties.
Her camel toe is very, very visible, so much so that her admirer (well, voyeur) could get ...
The grim reality of Comiket for female cosplayers
January 3, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
This is the grim reality for Comiket if you are a cosplayer. Sure, if you're a popular cosplayer like Enako, no doubt you get your own team of staff to help manage the crowds, but for the amateurs and the small fry out there -- of which they are many -- you are nothing more than a toy or meat to be haggled over, parsed, and lensed by the snapping cameras of hordes of male visitors. And all at ultra-close proximity.
These two pictures widely shared online have once again revealed this situation, this time at Comiket 97 held at the end of December at 2019.
As is clearly visible, the men are ...
Chinese cosplayer at Comiket 96 reduced to tears by crowd of upskirting men
August 16, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
As we know, Comiket is less about comics and more about cosplay. Specifically, female cosplayers.
Stars like Enako can attract huge crowds (and money).
But even lesser-known female cosplayers can pull in a strong audience, though, as one example from the recent Comiket 96 showed, this phenomenon can have unpleasant consequences if you are not prepared or don't have adequate minders.
In a video that has since gone viral (nearly 4 million views as of writing), a Chinese cosplayer found herself on August 11th surrounded by a mob of men with cameras who refused to make space for her. Instead ...
