The parents of four-year-old Mari Konno, who disappeared in 1988, did not lose hope of seeing their daughter alive until they received a terrible package. Opening it, they found a container with ashes, several teeth and a photo of the girl's clothes. There was also a note with the words: "Marie. Cremated. Dice. Investigate. Prove it." The couple realized that their baby was dead.

26-year-old Tsutomu Miyazaki was arrested only a year later. Only then did the grief-stricken parents find out what really happened to their daughter. The pervert strangled the baby, stripped her, raped her already dead and hid the body in the mountains. Later, he dismembered the corpse, hiding his hands and feet in a closet in his bedroom, and burned the rest of the body.

The maniac had deformed hands, he grew long nails, and this gave him a resemblance to a vampire. At school, Miyazaki was often the object of ridicule. The boy spent a lot of time with his grandfather and a mentally retarded man, who was paid by his grandfather to impersonate his grandmother. In adolescence, the guy became even more unsociable. He watched anime, bloody horror movies and child porn. While studying in college, a maniac stalked girls, trying to imperceptibly take pictures of their crotches.

After his grandfather's death, Miyazaki ate some of his ashes to "keep some of it in himself." This was the beginning of his fall into the abyss of vice. A few weeks later, the guy's sister noticed how he was watching her in the shower. The pervert brother beat her, and then attacked his mother with his fists, who scolded him for watching porn.

In 1988, a serial killer took the lives of two girls - seven-year-old Masami Yoshizawa (Masami Yoshizawa) in October and four-year-old Erika Namba (Erika Namba) in November. he lured children into a car, took them to the outskirts of Tokyo, killed and raped their dead bodies.

The Japanese police understood that they were dealing with a serial maniac. In the press, he was called a "Killer of little girls." Parents of young victims of the monster received anonymous phone calls and encrypted messages. The notes consisted of words cut from magazines. The Namba couple received a message: "Erica. Cold. Cough. Throat. Rest. Death."

Miyazaki committed the next murder on June 6, 1989. He kidnapped five-year-old Ayako Nomoto and strangled her when the girl asked why he had such strange hands. The pervert brought the body home, dismembered it, photographed the process and videotaped it. He drank the victim's blood and left the severed hands as a trophy. First, the killer took the girl's remains to the cemetery, and hid her head in the mountains, but then took them home and hid them in the toilet.

On July 23, 1989, the maniac was detained. The police searched his lair and found 5763 videotapes with hentai, horror films, porn and recordings with his victims. Miyazaki became known as the "killer Otaku" because of his obsession (Japanese. "otaku") anime.

The court hearings in his case began in 1990 and lasted seven years. His mental health was in question. The killer himself sat silently during the court hearings and constantly drew a creepy character, whom he called "The Rat Man." He said it was the dark part of his personality that drove him to commit crimes. In the end, Tsutomu Miyazaki was found guilty and hanged on June 17, 2008.
