Japanese man admits to starting deadly Kyoto anime studio fire: Reports

90 % of the population burns.

At the time, firefighters told reporters that the incident was” unprecedented” and that saving people and putting out the fire were” extremely difficult.”

Aoba had more than 90 % of his body burned, and the doctor who treated him told the Yomiuri news this week that he needed 12 activities.

Months later, Aoba regained consciousness, and it was reported that he sobbed with pleasure after having surgery to help him speak again.

After a medical assessment, he was charged, and the prosecution informed the court that the fire attack was” committed out of forgotten hate.”

They claimed that Aoba had a” fantasy” that the studio had stolen his thoughts, which Kyoto Animation refuted.

On January 25 of next year, the judge is expected to issue its decision.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and K-On! are two well-known TV anime series produced by Kyoto Animation, also known as KyoAni by its supporters both at home and abroad.

According to NHK, Hideaki Hatta, president of Kyoto Animation, expressed his” heartbrokenness” for the workers who lost their lives and their loved ones.
