Tyson in Tokorozawa, “Tattoo on the face,” a picture of his true face with a shudder.
“Undefeated in 3,000 fights.
“The next time you make a joke, I’m going to kill you. For real.”
The man, who was well known as an outlaw in his hometown, is said to have threatened a male acquaintance over the phone in this manner.
On January 10, the Saitama Prefectural Police Urawa Police Station arrested Hiromi Kubo, 41, a self-proclaimed YouTuber living in Sayama City, Saitama Prefecture, on suspicion of threatening a man. On the afternoon of November 20, 2010, he is alleged to have verbally abused a male acquaintance, Mr. A, who was 31 years old at the time, saying things like, “I’ll kill you.
In a video posted on the video site “YouTube” by a mutual acquaintance of the two, Mr. A called the suspect “Kimi” (you-kimi). The suspect lost his temper and got into trouble. In March of last year, Mr. A began talking to the police about the threats he was receiving from Kubo, which led to his arrest this time.
Kubo was a local ruffian who called himself “Tyson of Tokorozawa” and was well known locally. He had tattoos all over his face and called himself “undefeated in 3,000 fights. He was active as an outlaw YouTube star, posting videos of brawls and troubles he had experienced.
Last August, he participated in the martial arts event “BreakingDown9. However, he fought against Takushi Okuno, the representative of the political group “Gobo no Party,” and lost by KO. It was a one-sided affair in which he was beaten to a pulp. At an audition for the same tournament, he got into an argument with outlaw writer Junji Urita, with whom he once had a master-disciple relationship, and it became a topic of controversy.
The day before his arrest, Kubo posted on his SNS, “I am a sixth grader! I used to go to family restaurants with the money I got mugged with! I used to go to family restaurants with the money I got from a wig! He probably did not expect to be arrested. He denies part of the crime, saying he meant to tell the police to “cut the crap.
