Man’s Rampage in Tokyo Kills Seven
TOKYO – A 25-year-old man "tired" of life went on a killing rampage in a busy shopping area in central Tokyo on Sunday, plowing his truck into a crowd of pedestrians before stabbing passers-by with a survival knife. Seven people died and 11 others were injured in the attack.
The attack took place shortly after noon on a main thoroughfare that had been closed off to vehicles for the day in Akihabara, the main district for electronic goods in Tokyo and a magnet for fans of Japanese anime and manga comics. The location, as well as the number of fatalities, stunned a country that has long enjoyed low crime rates but has recently experienced random stabbings in less-high-profile areas.
Sadly, this is not the first we've heard of this kind of thing. Back when we were living in Westwood, a rare neighborhood in SoCal where people actually got out and walked, some idjit plowed onto the sidewalk and intentionally killed some random pedestrians. Still, weird to hear about it happening in Japan!

So, since we don't have the actual toys around, we'll have to do a comparison later. This is the Nani hardcopy. According to the sculptor, though, it had to be changed because it was "too sexy."
