I added below but erased.

--- In 2005, the person related to the Yomiuri Shimbun confessed in his weblog that there was an inclination report. (The entry was deleted at once.) According to the entry, most of the magazines in Miyazaki's room were usual men's magazines. However, a certain private TV cameraman put an indecent magazine most up. And he took a movie as a scoop. Therefore, it had been reported that Miyazaki was a special sex pervert. The web community of Japanese geeks became a commotion about this confession. The truth is still uncertain. But it is true at least, that there was few kinky video programs in Miyazaki's six thousands of videocassettes. Most of them recorded usual TV programs. But a lot of Japanese people believed that Miyazaki collected thousands of indecent video contents. He was only a video Otaku. Is there any relationships between being a video mania and being a serial murderer? The voice to request the review of the history rises along with Otaku's generalization like this. ---

I know that my English is not smart. But there is a fact that there is a voice to request the review of reports about Tsutomu Miyazaki's man image in Japan. Kotoba Mamoru 18:19, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

A picture that can be used
It hails from the crime library, but considering a pic from there is used with Richard Trenton Chase, I think it will be good here - http://www.crimelibrary.com/graphics/photos/criminal_mind/psychology/movies_made_me_kill/Tsutomu-Miyazaki200.jpg

The awaiting death sentence
I didn't even know Japan still had death sentences, I figured they were more like Canada than America in not having them. Especially with something like hanging since even in the US they use injection or electrocution (I think they still have electrocution... not sure... or hell, there used to be gas chamber and hanging but I think that ended).

Anyway, it says he's been on death row, presumably while they go over things with the trial, and then over half a year ago they verify his sentence will be carried out... but has it yet? Or is he still alive and awaiting execution? Surely something large like that would make the news and it could be added to the article.

I'm sort of curious about what goes through the mind of a guy like this, anyone know if he speaks english, or if he's done any japanese interviews which could be translated? Tyciol 19:41, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think he made any interviews. He was executed in Japan on June 17th, thus that has been added to to the article. I know you're comment here is over a year old, but I thought someone replying would be better. Liquinn (talk) 13:12, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Not encyclopedia-like
"Due to his deformity, he was ostracized when he attended Itsukaichi Elementary School, and consequently kept to himself.","The Police found out that the families of the victims had something else in common"-Im sorry,but some of this article doesnt realy read like an encyclopedia. --New Babylon 2 (talk) 13:41, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: "It took 18 yrs for him to be actually executed even with 4 murders."

Not unusual in Japan at all. Standard procedure. Death sentence are handed out, but when and if they are carried out depends entirely on the whim of the justice ministry -- maybe decided by tossing dice. 18 years waiting time are not unusual.

Unnecessary Wording?
"A police search of his two-room bungalow turned up a collection of 5,763 videotapes, some containing anime and slasher films."

Is it necessary to mention "anime"? This sounds like an attempt at fearmongering, considering some misconceptions regarding anime as a medium. Slasher films are explained, but anime seems a little broad. It isn't a genre in fact, considering you can have slasher films that are, by definition, of the anime medium. -- Hidoshi (talk) 09:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Unreliable source
Hi all! The information below is supported by an unreliable source (no editorial oversight) and has been moved to the talk page until a reliable source for this information can be found. Other information in the article based on this source should also be removed until reliable sources can be found. Thanks, Firecatalta (talk) 17:47, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Believed to be insane, Miyazaki remained incarcerated throughout the 1990s while Saitama Prefecture put him through a battery of psychiatric evaluations. Teams of psychiatrists from Tokyo University diagnosed him as suffering from dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities).

From the background section: Miyazaki's premature birth left him with deformed hands, which were permanently gnarled and fused directly to the wrists, necessitating him to move his entire forearm in order to rotate the hand. Due to his deformity, he was ostracized when he attended Itsukaichi Elementary School, and consequently kept to himself. Although he was originally a star student, his grades at Meidai Nakano High School dropped dramatically; he had a class rank of 40 out of 56 and did not receive the customary admission to Meiji University. Instead of studying English and becoming a teacher as he originally intended, he attended a local junior college, studying to become a photo technician.

unusual swiftness - 18 years
The trial began on March 30, 1990. Miyazaki was hanged on June 17, 2008. I have a legitimate question about "swiftness" part. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.99.35.90 (talk) 15:43, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Gory Details
Why all the gory details? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.235.91.172 (talk) 08:07, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

"he was the result of his father's incestuous relationship with one of his sisters."
Does that mean that Tsutomu's father had brother-sister incest? Or did he have incest with his own daughter? SomeDude! (talk) 01:01, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * If we believe those sources that there is on the Internet, it's about Tsutomu's older sister, with whom he lived in the same room when he lived with his parents. But I did not find other sources that would have had weight, although the general the allegation of incest without clarification is fairly common in references.

Miyazaki's hands
Regarding this section under "Background":


 * Miyazaki's premature birth left him with deformed hands, which were permanently gnarled and fused directly to the wrists, which meant he needed to move his entire forearm in order to rotate the hand.

This sentence doesn't make sense. Hands do not rotate on the wrist; that is an action of the forearm. *Everyone* has to move their entire forearm to rotate the hand. This differs from the cited source, which claims he could not "bend his wrists upward." I assume that means dorsiflexion?

Furthermore, Firecatalta indicated a few years ago that the source in question is not reliable, removing information from it until a more reliable source was located. I see that action was undone only a couple of weeks later, mistaken for vandalism. Should we simply remove this source and its information?-- The Ninth Bright Shiner 14:20, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Article's final sentence
The last sentence of the article cites the opinion of Ryūzō Saki, who apparently wrote several books about this and several similar cases. This writer is not mentioned at all elsewhere in the article and I doubt most people who read it will know who he is or what his relevance is. Blarghwizard (talk) 11:15, 15 July 2022 (UTC)


 * As it currently stands, this article tags to Saki's article, so if the reader is curious as to who he is, they can just click Saki's name. So, is your feedback that the article should: give context as to why Saki's opinion is relevant - or - have that last sentence completely removed? Geeky Randy (talk) 20:27, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
