There was a moment in court that showed the defendant’s tendency to answer however she felt.
While she was being asked how worried defendant Kawamura had been about X at the time of the incident, she was asked whether she had eaten all of the ramen at the chain ramen shop she visited after the crime.
Defendant Kawamura reportedly left part of the ramen she ordered unfinished.
When asked why, she answered, “Because I don’t like that ramen.”

This is kind of a huge deal, I think.

3Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 05:09:08.14 ID: ID:RYrEXbz60

Q. After the assault ended, you went out to eat, right?

A. We went to Yamaokaya.

Q. Why did you go to the Yamaokaya near Ebetsu Police Station?

A. We were talking about where to eat in that direction, and the Atsubetsu branch had not tasted good when I ate there before, so we ended up at the Ebetsu branch.

Q. Did you think that if you left the victim there, he might die?

A. At that time, I wasn’t thinking about whether he would die or not. At the end his speech was slurred, so I was thinking about how he would get home.

She seems borderline, so it might be better to lean all the way into that and aim for mitigation on mental-capacity grounds.

I guess ramen eaten after killing someone tastes bad.

Can someone like this really become a university student?

>>11
There are plenty of universities you can get into just by writing your name, even if you can’t add two-digit numbers.
But the professors and lecturers who have to teach people like that are pitiful.
Teaching at a cram school would probably be more rewarding.

The F-rank university class I saw was doing addition and multiplication of fractions.
When they interviewed a student,
the student said they didn’t understand why division means flipping the numerator and denominator and multiplying.

Apparently this particular Yamaokaya branch is insanely bad.

The limited-time pork-belly cartilage ramen is a little sweet, so people may be split on it.

So it is not just Yagihara. Kawamura is also, uh… something.

Double reputational damage lol
First it becomes the shop a murderer came to eat at,
then it becomes the shop whose ramen was left unfinished because it tasted bad lol.

Yep, life-imprisonment points.


 Toward defendant Yagihara, who had hinted at turning himself in, defendant Kawamura sent a message in the group saying, “I’ll go beat him up by myself. I’ll beat him to a pulp.” The previous day, her mother had appeared in court and expressed concern that her own way of speaking had influenced her, but prosecutors pointed out that these were Kawamura’s own words, not the result of her home environment.

 There was also the following exchange. In response to a message from defendant Kawaguchi saying, “I want to rough up Yagihara too and take his money,” defendant Kawamura sent, “Yagihara has money. Quite a bit. He really does.”

Prosecutor: “Is that the kind of conversation you have after taking money from someone and causing their death? Even if it was not your true feeling, shouldn’t that still have been out of the question?”

Defendant Kawamura: “Now I think it was unthinkable.”

Prosecutor: “You say you were swept along, that you were scared… fine, but weren’t you the one putting peer pressure on the people around you?”

Defendant Kawamura: “…”

Prosecutor: “There was an aspect in which your actions moved other people, wasn’t there?”

Defendant Kawamura: “Yes.”

If you think of them as stray cats, isn’t it kind of cute?

I read the article, and wow, the presiding judge and judges press them this hard?
I thought that was the prosecutor’s job.

25Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 05:46:08.18 ID: ID:cSGivZ+g0

Life imprisonment for the crime of leaving ramen uneaten.

If it had been Tenkaippin, she probably would have finished it all.

31Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 05:53:12.45 ID: ID:mIFOiWhC0

Because the news is talking about both cases at the same time, whenever a new name comes up I mix it up with the Uchida case.

32Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 05:54:29.74 ID: ID:vY5BABQy0

In the end, these people can only apologize and reflect out of self-pity, like “I wish I hadn’t done such a horrible thing if it meant getting caught and being thrown in prison for years.”
It is not “I am sorry because I did something horrible to the victim.”
It is “I am sorry, please reduce my sentence even a little.”

They don’t need to apologize or pretend to reflect. I just want all of them finished by hanging.

89Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 06:50:24.24 ID: ID:Y+DLUY6f0

>>32
I mean,
they say they reflected after being arrested, but
if they had any feeling of being sorry toward the victim,
they would not have done it in the first place.

Also people talk about rehabilitation, but
they committed the crime while already in their “rehabilitated” state from the start,
so there is nothing to rehabilitate.

33Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 05:55:18.01 ID: ID:+A0Rf3Xo0

A case in Hokkaido in the same year where two women around twenty brought along minors, beat a student badly, stripped him naked, robbed him, and killed him. Way too many similarities.

35Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 05:58:54.93 ID: ID:uugovJSO0

>>33
So Uchida’s side also ended up taking money?
Then how did that side get it down to 27 years? Has it not been charged as robbery-murder yet?

38Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 06:00:27.80 ID: ID:dXxQGY88M

>>35
Because they made him pay by PayPay while he was alive, and they couldn’t nail down where the stolen cash went, the robbery charge didn’t stick.

34Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 05:57:39.05 ID: ID:rhNTpnjT0

Did you eat all of the ramen?!

40Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 06:01:40.81 ID: ID:fQddygB30

This is not even a trial anymore, it’s a free-talk segment.
What is the point of that conversation?

43Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 06:03:09.10 ID: ID:mAOxtcKK0

>>40
If she had said, “It was ramen after committing an assault, so I couldn’t really get it down,” that would have been a mitigation point.

181Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 08:28:12.44 ID: ID:Rtd3rH840

So that was a scoring point for reducing the defendant’s sentence?
Isn’t that weird?

At the start of questioning, the prosecutor muttered with genuine exasperation, “I don’t even know where to begin…”

Prosecutor: “In your defense attorney’s questions, there was a line about ‘not getting caught up in crime from now on.’ Do you see yourself as having been caught up in this incident?”

Defendant Kawamura: “No, that’s not right.”

Prosecutor: “There was also a question about ‘how you will live in the future.’ But X can’t think about his future anymore…”

49Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 06:08:09.35 ID: ID:SYL9amva0
