Shark Mania” Voyeur, a handsome man who appeared on Matsuko’s show, was exposed at the trial.

Yoro Shark, please!

On December 5, Sakuya Toyoda, 22, was arraigned at the Tokyo District Court for breaking into the women’s restroom at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology and photographing a woman while she was urinating.

According to the indictment, Sakuya Toyoda entered the women’s restroom on the campus of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, from which he had just graduated in March of this year, and took video of the victims, 26-year-old Ms. A and 24-year-old Ms. B, while they were urinating, by pointing a smartphone camera from above the threshold of the adjacent restroom.

When Toyoda appeared in court, he was wearing a black hoodie and black skinny pants, with an earring shining in his left ear. He was wearing a mask, but his crisp eyes revealed a neat face. A somewhat indolent-looking defendant Toyoda replied, “I’m fine,” in response to the indictment. From the judge,

The judge asked, “Does that mean you are sure?” the judge asked, “Does that mean that you are sure? Toyoda had appeared on a popular TV program in the past, and was a well-known figure.

In April 2007, when he was a high school student, he appeared on “Matsuko’s Unknown World” (TBS) as a shark maniac. He was a refreshingly good-looking guy, and when he appeared on the program, he greeted the audience with ‘Yoro Shark please,’ a character that Matsuko also liked and talked about. For this reason, he became quite the topic of conversation on social networking sites when the arrest was reported. Also, at the time of his arrest, Toyoda stated that he ‘wanted to enjoy the thrill of the show'” (reporter from the society section of a national newspaper).

What exactly was the thrill that Toyoda was seeking, even at the cost of losing his glamorous career?

to a female student at his alma mater who knew the land.

The opening statement read out by the prosecution reveals the dastardly manner in which the crime was committed. The scene of the voyeurism was Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, which was the defendant’s alma mater. He entered the women’s restroom of his alma mater, which he knew well, from the entrance and stayed in a private room, waiting for an opportunity to take voyeuristic photographs.

As soon as a woman entered the restroom and began to urinate, he pointed his smartphone camera at her from above the threshold of the adjacent restroom and took video of her underwear and pubic area. Like a shark waiting for its prey to put its dorsal fin out to sea, Toyoda may have lurked in the women’s restroom and pointed his smartphone from the top of the threshold.

Even more surprisingly, while waiting for his next target, Toyoda saved and edited the video he had taken. It appears that he was working on moving the woman on the edge of the image to the center and cutting the time period during which the woman was not in the image. Considering that he was sitting in a private room in the women’s restroom as if it were his territory, one cannot deny the impression that he was a familiar criminal. It may be highly habitual.

The shock to the victim is immeasurable,

Ms. A said, “I didn’t hear any sound, so I didn’t think I was being voyeuristically photographed. I became afraid to use public restrooms after I became a victim. I became worried that cameras might be installed in the restrooms and rooms, and I couldn’t sleep at night. I also became afraid of men and could not sit down on the train if a man was sitting next to me.

The trauma was so severe that it interfered with her daily life.

This news report must have made many women, not only the victim, feel uneasy about using public restrooms. I wonder if Ms. Toyoda realizes the gravity of her crime.
