JAPAN: MAN GETS DEATH SENTENCE FOR KILLING 36 IN ANIME STUDIO ARSON 

January 25, 2024:

A Japanese man was convicted and sentenced to death on January 25, 2024 for the arson and killing of 36 people at famed anime studio Kyoto Animation in 2019, public broadcaster NHK said.
The deadly attack on the Kyoto-based studio, better known as KyoAni, had sent shockwaves not only through Japan where violent crime is rare, but also overseas given the studio's far-reaching fan base and the audacity of the crime.
Shinji Aoba, now 45, had set the studio ablaze by dousing the entrance area of the building with petrol, also injuring 32.
Aoba himself suffered heavy burns and underwent intensive treatment for nearly a year.
Media have reported that Aoba held a grudge against the studio, known for the series "Violet Evergarden" and other popular works, believing that it had plagiarised his novel, an allegation that KyoAni has denied.
A pillar of Japanese pop culture, anime has become a major cultural export, winning fans around the world.
