A friend of mine was this Japanese.
He had a girlfriend in Paris.
He tried to date her in six months and eventually she said yes.
You know he took her to his apartment, cut off her head.
Put the rest of her body in the refrigerator, ate her piece by piece.
Put her in the refrigerator, put her in the freezer.
And when he ate her and took her bones to the Bois de Boulogne,
By chance a taxi driver noticed him burying the bones.
You don't believe me?
Truth is stranger than fiction.
We drive through there every day.
Lyrical excerpt from the track Too Much Blood (M. Jagger/K. Richards) on the
Rolling Stones albumUndercover (1983).

I
was sitting in a coffee shop in Shinjuku on Friday and they were
playing a Stones compilation over the PA when the above track came on.
It immediately brought to mind the man who inspired the above-quoted
verse, cannibal killer Sagawa Issei (佐川一政).
As Mick's vocals slurred out of the speakers (he was apparently drunk
when he recorded it) I thought to myself, "Which of Tokyo's 23 wards is
Sagawa in right now? Perhaps he's in Shinjuku, only walking distance
away. What is he doing?" I hadn't thought about him for a while,
perhaps not since I shot an interview with director Satô Hisayasu over
a year ago (see my
Feb. 17, 2006 entry).
In light of the recent, tragic murder of 22 year-old English teacher
Lindsay Ann Hawker by still-at-large murder suspect Ichihashi Tatsuya
(see Mainichi Daily News article
here), I felt it
was time to return to the topic. I've told the story over the years but
had never put it down in writing.
2001. I was in Tokyo trying to find a Japanese publisher for
AntiCristo, a book which I
designed and co-edited. I met with a well-known movie aficionado with
ties to the publishing world. As well as being an author, translator
and regular contributor to a famous Japanese cult movie magazine (which
he still is, I believe) he was an expert on serial killers. His
apartment in central Tokyo was the
ultimate shrine to subculture, while
still having the trappings of a normal married couple's home. This was
probably thanks to his classical pianist wife.

We
chatted for a while about movies, books and the like when he started
grabbing items off of his expansive floor-to-ceiling shelving units. In
the pile in front of me were some rare lobby cards, film tomes, and
manga with contents I daren't repeat here. One volume caught my eye. On
the cover was a goofy looking illustration of a man's head in the
vortex of dayglo concentric circles. "What's this?" I asked. He
explained it was a self-authored manga by famed cannibal killer Sagawa
Issei.
If you're not familiar with Sagawa's crime, you can read a brief
overview on Wikipedia and a more in-depth account in
Court TV's extensive Crime Library
here. In Japan
it's known as the「パリ人肉事件」(
Pari jinniku jiken), roughly "The
Paris Human Flesh Incident." There have been at least several books
written about the case.
I knew of Sagawa, but wasn't aware of the details of his heinous act. I
flipped through the childlike drawings. It was an account of his life,
with the centerpiece being the two day-long orgy of mutilation,
cannibalism and sexual deviance following the execution-murder of Dutch
Sorbonne student Renée Hartevelt. The images depicted Sagawa cooking
and eating body parts, using them for masturbation and sleeping with
her corpse. A top seller, it's available at Amazon Japan and all of the
country's major bookshops. I asked the author if the deeds in the
pictures actually happened. He said they did. Then, the bombshell.
"I know him. He's a friend of mine." In shock I listened as he went on
to describe Sagawa's activities as a restaurant reviewer, actor, author
and his annually held barbecue. The two men even wrote a book together
about
other cannibal
killers. "How can you associate with someone who did the things he
did?" I had to ask. "What he did was terrible, but he's a nice guy. He
has lots of friends," was the simple response.

I
had been in Japan a little over a year at that point, but it was
probably the first true instance of culture shock I had experienced. It
wasn't just the acts Sagawa committed, but a society that allowed him
to walk the streets (thanks to his rich and powerful father). Scenarios
of "If this was North America..." or "If she was my sister..." reeled
through my mind. The author's wife scrunched up her face and said "Eww.
I don't like when he comes over here," as if he were nothing more than
a strange uncle with bad body odour.
The otherwise-pleasant visit ended and I left, somewhat dazed. I was
going to write a paragraph analysing the point where fanaticism for
subculture supercedes morality. Suffice to say, in the ensuing years
it's been a gradual retreat, or rather recoil, from hardcore otakudom
for me.
I'm of two minds about showing or linking to photos of victims of
horrible crimes. On journalist-author Larry Harnisch's exhaustive
Black Dahlia site, for
instance, he absolutely refuses to show any body shots. I can
understand his point of view as in that infamous case, it's the victim
herself who is the "star".
In the case of Sagawa, it's the killer who's gained notoriety and a
devoted, if small, legion of followers and friends (one artist created
a Warholeseque portrait of Sagawa, pictured below). I'm quite sure at
least some, if not most of the people who've taken pictures with him,
interviewed him, cast him or written songs about him have actually seen
the evidence of the beautiful young woman he destroyed. I doubt Mick
himself pored over the police pictures before he penned
Too Much Blood. An
American hardcore punk band has even named themselves after Sagawa (see
their
Myspace profile).

I
have no problem with people writing books or making films based on
serial killers -- I obviously have a fair amount of fascination with
them myself (I can't wait to see David Fincher's
Zodiac). I don't think there's a
high horse in the stable, but if one is
into this topic, then one should take
in all aspects. Put yourself in the victim's shoes. Put yourself in the
victim's family's shoes. Rather than superficially riffing on the gory
details for thrills, concentrate on the destruction of life from all
sides until you are thoroughly chilled to the bone.
View the
grisly results of Sagawa Issei's crime at your
own risk. They are
extremelydisturbing
photographs.
The aforementioned Hawker murder case has some startling similarities
(aside from a Japanese man killing a young, caucasian woman). Ichihashi
and Hawker were acquainted in an educational setting. Ichihashi
apparently pursued Hawker with vigour, as did Sagawa with Hartevelt.
The final act of murder took place in the perpetrators' apartments
after both victims agreed to come over under the pretense of
educational pursuit. Both victims were disposed of in brutal fashion,
though Sagawa's mania obviously plumbed much lower depths. Seeing
Hawker's tearful parents and fiancé on TV was hard to watch.

i think the kind of people japan potentially breeds and develops is
fascinating. sagawa is one of the extreme examples that i know of,
there's also an obsessive otaku called miyazaki, is there not? he had
the 'guinea pig' films (of course, what else!) in his collection and
had killed children?
remember the blond british woman who was dismembered and set in
concrete a few years back? her body was found within throwing distance,
within a cave at a coastal apartment, and yet the police seemed to
loathe the idea of it being a connection to the man considered to have
given enough evidence of him having commited (or having the opportunity
to have commited) the crime for him to be associated with the
discovery. the father of the girl tried to persuade police to view
video footage from motorway cameras to see if they could confirm her
telephone call stating she was with this man and going to his coastal
apartment, and they said it was an "invasion of privacy" (for either
the other road users, or specifically for the accused, i dont know)...
odd. it's both admirably avoiding pre-judgment and potentially also
avoiding judgment at the same time.
i like the idea that obsessive fandom superceeds morality, i think that
the levels of obsession with things to fill the huge voids in peoples
lives can freewheel too far towards straight-out evil behaviour and the
often associated acts. globally, japan is both viewed as being very
crime-free and respectful, but also for perhaps generating the greatest
rebels as a result, those that can't cope with how tightly-defined the
social structures can be and how people try to apply them to anyone and
everyone, and although crimes such as sagawa's have happened across the
globe, it's rare to find pop culture which so directly reflects those
acts that it's hard to determine if it was cause or effect.
isn't (or hasn't) sagawa also the star of some rather odd adult movies
too? i thought he was some kind of porn star as a result of his fame?

Very well put logboy. This cross-section between pop culture and
morality is fascinating to me as well. It seems that Japan as a nation
encourages and embraces extreme outlyers (otaku, etc.) within it's
society so the fact that murderers have been memorialized in these
paticular cases does not shock me.
I believe this fascination among japanese is amplified by the
relatively low crime rate; when something happens everyone is at
attention. I wonder if the victims had been japanese women would there
be such interest? Would these "men" be cannonized as they are now or
simply lauded as whack jobs?
While I don't see these views as being neccessarily erosive to japanese
culture/society as a whole one needs to take a look at the systemic
nature of these views and address them before this type of extreme
behavior becomes en vogue. People naturally crave attention (celebrity)
but few ever really get it; the desperate may turn to such horrendous
acts to satiate this desire and suddenly what was isolated becomes
epidemic to a degree. And honestly to speak of murder in terms of
degree is never a good sign.
Really interesting post Jason.

This was a great post. In particular, your insight regarding obsessive
fandom superceeding morality and your recounting of that bombsell
moment. - I was experiencing culture shock by just reading it!
Fascination in serial killers, cannabilism, the darker side of humanity
in general, appears to be universal. But seldom is the interest taken
to such extremes, and rarely is it so widespread as it appears to be in
Japan.
It is quite unnerving to see this level of public interest in someone
like Sagawa Issei, because the fascination, like you stated, is skewed
towards a perspective that lacks empathy towards the victims. Inhuman
actions are interesting in and of themselves, but it's dangerous to
only partially be into them, to engage in what you called a superficial
riffling for the gory details.
That is some advice that definitely needs to be heard.

I could've incorporated child killer Miyazaki Tsutomu (whose original
death sentence was upheld in January 2006 but has yet to be carried
out) and the murder of Lucie Blackman (whose killer will be sentenced
imminently) into the essay, but it was already getting too long for a
blog.
The Miyazaki case did put the previously "benign" otaku world under a
microscope for a time and created a good deal of panic about
paedophilia. And who can forget Charlie Sheen calling the FBI after
believing the Guinea Pig tapes were real snuff films? It's been all but
forgotten in the latest mainstreaming and pop-fetishization of the
culture. The difference between Akihabara in 1998 (when I first came to
Japan) and now is startling.
Sagawa has appeared in other videos. Writing the piece (and looking at
the images) made me exhausted -- I didn't feel the need to search
Japanese websites to find out the other titles.
Though I could've mentioned that Sagawa wrote about the child murders
committed by 14 year-old "Sakakibara Seito". That case seemed to herald
a new wave of brutal youth crime and made "hikikomori" a household word.
Japan's reputation as a "safe place" is again in question in light of
the Hawker case. I still believe it is one of the safest places in the
world.
There have been killers in other countries as bad or worse than
Miyazaki. The killers of James Bulger are now members of society with
new identities just as Sakakibara is. There was a trans-Atlantic killer
of prostitutes in the 70s or 80s (his name escapes me) that appeared on
a French TV talk show, not unlike Sagawa did here.
But yet it seems to be a greater struggle to wrap our heads around
things that happen in Japan more than other places. After 7 years I'm
still figuring out why that is.

there's always a feeling that immersing yourself in the culture helps
to understand it. thing is, once you're within one culture, the ease
with which it's possible to either be distracted by the possibly
universal elements of managing a day-to-day life, or to be so close you
cant see the wood for the trees, is huge.
i watched 'kanaria' ('canary') recently, and although i don't know much
about the cult gassings on the tokyo underground of the 90s (haven't
seen 'A' or 'A2', though they were finally issued in the USA on DVD
last year), i have a certain sense of it - i was most captivated by one
guys mention in 'Kanaria' that attempting to dispose of one way of life
for another 'better life' doesn't work, as the elements of life most
likely to be up for a change are the elements everyone's going through
: isolation and dillusory behaviour don't help, they just hide it all
away to some greater or lesser extent... you'll just come full circle,
loose sight of the issues, loose contact with generally-held reality,
or fall apart under the weight of being one individual amongst many.
this is, potentially, one of the things otakudom struggles with
eternally...
yes, there's certainly some very extreme and strange expressions within
japanese culture which are perhaps just down to a different way of life
and sensibilities too - i've seen that the sub-genres within japanese
pornography seem more widely and publically explored, by companies that
also turn out a more familiar (to the west) range of product also - but
there's also some stuff which it's got to be hard for even the most
adept japanese psychologist to fathom, surely?

As a woman, (remember WE tend to be the victims of such horrendous
obsessions, of men worldwide), I'm not surprised at all by the response
toward the crime. It's in direct line with the attitude of Japanese men
toward women in general. Japanese women can downplay their horror,
cause the victim was european, while remaining silent about their own
humiliations (murder being the ultimate silence, huh?). I'm in total
agreement with Jason Gray; how about getting off on being the VICTIM?
I wonder what the response would have been if the victims were Japanese
men, such as Sagawa's father?
But then Fandom upstaging morality? Who are the fans? Men? Women? Or
both?
Hell, all Aileen Wuornos received, was scorn.

sahara,
Thanks for your comment.
I think it's a bit too easy to tar Japanese men with the same brush.
The international coverage of cases such as Renée Hartevelt's, Lucie
Blackman's and now Lindsay Hawker's often contain racist and
stereotypical undertones (and overtones). Sagawa is no doubt one of the
sickest people to ever walk freely among law-abiding citizens -- I'm
sure many Japanese men would agree.
Thankfully (if such a word can be used), Miss Hartevelt never knew what
was coming when he cowardly shot her from behind.

I hate to play a bigot in every single Japan related English blog on
this planet.But we are talking about three or four murder cases
commited by Japanese males that happened in the time span of some 30
years in two different continents.No?
I don't understand the nerve and sensitivity of people who make any
kind of cultural/national relativism associating these freaks and
60million existing Japanese men.Most of us are dull and boring animals
tired of life both in office and private.We may have somekind of
fantasy over foreign women(I know I do),but usually that is not about
eating their flesh for supper.
Give me those amalgam of amateurish Japanology and armchair Freudian
psychology,only after we start eat them as frequent as pastrami
sandwiches.
If the influx of erotic and violent manga or movies are somehow related
with thse crimes,then these gores should be fully supported by the
society.
I know for a fact that there was a strict censorship over things erotic
and grotesque topics(along with nonsense comic)in the good old 30's and
40's by the authorities.And these were the times when Japanese men did
conduct mass rapes in Nanjing and other places,ate the flesh of the war
buddy in the jungles of New Guinea because of the starvations.
But in the post war Japan,these happens almost as frequent as LDP lose
grip to the power.

Aceface,
Thanks, as always, for your views. You mean "bigot hunter"?
The UK press has been especially damning of the entire population of
Japanese males, considering only two of Japan's 60 million men took two
of their country's 30 million daughters -- not to downplay the crimes
at hand.
While you're here, let me play super devil's advocate.
Straight up: do you think that any other culture in the world other
than Japan would allow the equivalent of Sagawa (a free man known to
have committed a heninous crime) to enjoy celebrity status the way he
has?
The closest example I can think of is OJ. But as disturbing as his
crime was, it wasn't committed for pleasure (?), he's not allowed to
profit off of it, and a good portion of the US population can't stand
him, where as Sagawa could probably walk into any establishment and not
be turned away (granted, most wouldn't recognize him).

Comfort women,13 years old in thong bikini,and now Sagawa Issei...
You know I can talk more smoothly about animals and stamp
collecting.But since you've asked...
I remember when I was in NY,1981,I had a fight with a Taiwanese kid in
class over something I forgot.In the middle of heated war of words he
scremed at me "You,man eater!".Did not know what it was so I had to ask
him what he meant,so he told me what happened in Paris by this Japanese
student...
Needless to say the incident shocked the country but I could only learn
from papers and a month late weekly magazines for I was not there at
the time.But I later learned....
While Sagawa was imprisoned in Sante prison in Paris,there was a
project of making this incident into film in Japan.The script
writer,the play writer Kara Jyuro唐十郎,who is known as a counterculture
icon of Shinjyuku in the 60's, started correspondence with Sagawa in
prison.The project was abandoned due to the fact that Sagawa was
released for French authority decided that the cannibalism was the act
in insanity and with the agreement of the Renee's parents,sent Sagawa
back to Japan.
Instead abandoning the correpondence,Kara made them into a
novel called "Letter from Mr.Sagawa佐川君からの手紙"which was later awarded
Akutagawa prize of 1982.
The book became an instant best seller,because not only the public was
interested in the biggest taboo of mankind,they were actually
shocked with the intelligence in Sagawa's letter.Sagawa who had been
studying Kawabata Yasunari in graduate school,become somewhat of a real
life Hannibal Lector.
After the release and coming back to Japan and learned Kara had
published the correspondence without his authorization,Sagawa went to
furious and filed law suits along with writing a memoir,
called "Truth in the fog霧の中の真実”,and this earned him quasi-O.Jesque
notoriety.Still the public bought the books to know why and how he did
it and to check whether he is truly a madman."Truth in the Fog"had also
become a best seller in Japan.
By this time,the public found out not just Sagawa is an intelligent
man,he also has huge egotism.Media attacked him in almost every angle
for him enjoying fame made upon cannibalism in Paris while putting his
interviews to have their magazine sold.
Early 80's was the time of paparazzo.There were many photo centered
magazines like "Focus" and "Friday" popped out.You can feel the
zeitgeist in Takita Youjiro's film"No More Comicsコミック雑誌はいらない”made in
1986.86 was also the year Kitano Takeshi had stormed into editorial
office of "Friday"magazine along with his Takeshi brigade.
These influx of scandal centered paparazzo magazines accelerated media
appearance of Sagawa and some of the intellectuals start to see him as
anti-hero of media crazed bubble era Japan.Their argument was "who is
more crazy,the cannibal or those of whom consume the cannibal?".
I believe you have seen the documentary film"Emperor's naked army
marches on"by Hara Kazuo and know about the protagonist,the political
activist and madman Okuzaki Kenzo.
Sagawa was considered in the same league with Okuzaki.A madman who
reveals the hidden darkness of the Japanese society.
The manga"Manga Sagawa-san" you showed in your post is a parody of
"Manga Sazae-san",
long lasting popular manga that was
printed on liberal Asahi shimbun from late 40's to late 70's and still
seen in anime in every Japanese household.Somewhat a cultural icon of
decency in post war Japan.Needless to say,that the parody is intending
blasphemy to what we think of common sense.
Most of these "fandom"is based on Sagawa's paradoxal role he destined
to play in the closed world of Japanese media-sphere.
Ofcourse,this can only happen because the victim was a foreigner.
For we can focus solely on Sagawa's symbolism without interfered by the
victim's family.I can only think of Charles Manson as the
equivalent.(Marilyn Manson wouild never be named,if the victim's family
was not exiled Roman Polanski)

Don't forget Hitler -- that's your next assignment over at Marxy's blog.
Are you sure that Taiwanese kid wasn't just a Hall & Oates fan?
(But maybe that single was '82).
But seriously, there were a few angles in your message that I never
considered before. I am in no way a Sagawa expert nor intend to become
one, but this "media bubble" you describe seemed to create the
circumstances for an egomaniac like him to use and be used.
"Of course,this can only happen because the victim was a foreigner.
For we can focus solely on Sagawa's symbolism without interfered by the

Okay I can see that, but my (perhaps rhetorical) question is would any
of this be possible in another country whose citizen had done what
Sagawa did in a foreign land? I'm not convinced...
Maybe it's these "culture gaps" that the foreign media use to peddle
the latest incarnation of yellow peril.

"but my (perhaps rhetorical) question is would any of this be possible

When I went Paris in '92,I saw a French men's magazine with cover photo
of Sagawa in SM outfit and gazing at naked woman as if he reminded his
lust for flesh.
This obscene photo was taken by an Italian paparazzi and self calling
journalist named Antonio Pagnotta(who was also a member of FCCJ at the
time)He writes about this in his book published in japan called
”スクープ撮”。While he did write pretty much cliche about how immoral this
man and the sickness of the society raised him.also exploited some
chunk of gold out of this "15 minuites with the cannival" industry.
Yeah,I would say it's possible.
but if you're still suspicious about my opinion,the only way to find
out is you do it yourself,preying on Japanese women.
You won't have so much moral outcry
if you run into UK now.They'll probably give you asylum until we find
Hawker killer,calling your act as "an eye for an eye".

That's basically what I was railing against in the original blog post.
UK's Channel 5 is running a series on cannibals this fall and came over
last month to shoot a segment on Sagawa. They were originally spurred
on by my blog post, but I didn't get that involved in the end. I wasn't
totally convinced that they wouldn't sensationalize the topic, but I'll
give them the benefit of the doubt until I see it.
"the only way to find out is you do it yourself,preying on Japanese

i am disturbed more so by the bandwagon of people who wish to attribute
the serial killer fandom to some sort of JAPANESE phenomena. There are
tons way more serial killers, cannibals, in the U.S. and their fan base
is huge. How many penpals and marriage proposals did Ted Bundy have???
The amount of press and docudramas of serial killers in western culture
is way more abundant than japan. Stop this racist generalization of the
Japanese culture and look at our own society. Those who live in glass
houses shouldn't throw stones.

You're missing the crucial difference of it being fandom around a
person who committed a horrible crime overseas and is now a member of
society in his home country, enjoying his fame as a free man.
If Bundy had killed a young woman overseas, was committed to an asylum,
got out, came back home only to be freed for good, then led life as a
minor celebrity appearing on TV and in low-budget films, profiting off
of books etc. you'd have something similar.
Come back when you understand why the above happened in Japan.

WHO'S HUNGRY? - PART 1
カニバリスト・佐川一政とのインタビュー
INTERVIEW AND PHOTOS BY TOMOKAZU KOSUGA
1981年6月12日の夕方、パリはブローニュの森に、1人の日本人が2つのトランクを持って現れた。オトコの名は佐川一政。後の『パリ人肉食事件』の発

しかしフランスでの精神鑑定の結果、“心身喪失状態での犯行”と判断され、不起訴処分に。その後、祖国である日本においても彼を殺人の罪で裁く動きが見ら

性がないだろ?ハッキリ言って、ヒトの肉を喰らうのなんて、トールキンのオークくらいしか思い浮かばない。一体ナニが彼をそうさせたのか?今回、おそらく
自分自身も食い応えがあるであろうViceJapanのtomoが無謀にも1人で彼の自宅を訪れ、話を訊いてきた。
Vice:まず最初に、生まれて初めてカニバリズムの衝動に駆られたときのコトと、それから事件までの紆余曲折について教えてほしい。
佐川一政:僕は生まれつき虚弱児で、足なんてエンピツみたいに細かったんですね。それで小学1年のとき、クラスの男の子の太モモがプルプルと震えてるのが
目に入って、その時初めて“おいしそうだな……”と思いました。でも僕はホモセクシャルではありませんから、中学・高校辺りになると今度はグレース・ケ
リーという西洋の女優のトリコになった。それが初めての“西洋人に対する憧れ”でしたね。それ以降、カニバリズムの妄想を掻き立てられるきっかけは、いつ
のまにか“背の高い健康的な西洋人の女性”となっていました。つまり、僕は背も低ければルックスも悪いしでコンプレックスが色々ありましたから、その真逆
に対する憧れがあったのでしょう。そういった女性の肉を、殺して食べたいというよりは単純に“カジってみたい”と強く思う様になりました。そうした欲望は
まさに性欲そのモノで、例えばハラが減ってると女性を食べたいという気持ちも起きないんです。でもある程度なにか食べて満たされると、だんだんとアレも
勃って来ますよね?そうなると“食べたいなぁ”と思うんです。矛盾してるでしょ?だからコレは、本来の食欲じゃないワケですよ。“ヒトの肉を食べたい”と
いう食人欲望は僕にとって性欲みたいなモノだから、どんどん射精していかないと、もう高まる一方なんです。
そうやって、タメにタメて一気に爆発したのが『パリ人肉事件』だったんだ……。
留学でパリへ行ってからも、カニバリズムの衝動は留まるところを知らなくて。娼婦を毎晩のごとく部屋に呼んでは、彼女たちがビデでアソコを洗っている後ろ
姿を銃で何百回と撃とうとしたんだけど、まるで指先が凍り付いたように引き金が引けないんです。モラルとかそういうモノじゃなくて、なにかこう本能的なモ
ノが手を止めてしまう。引き金を引いた瞬間、自分も世界もすべて粉々にガラスの如く壊れてしまうんじゃないかと思えてきて、とうとう出来なかったんです。
それからは、食べることよりもむしろ“ヤラなきゃいけないんだ”という、儀式さながらの強迫観念に段々と迫られる様になっていきました。
それからしばらくして、後の『パリ人肉事件』の被害者となるオンナのコを大学の授業で初めて見かけたんです。それまでのフランス人女性もみなキレイだった
けど、どこか敷居が高くて、僕なんかとうてい手が出せなかった。それに対して彼女はホントに気さくで暖かい女性だったんです。コレは事件後に分かったこと
なんだけど、どうも彼女はユダヤ系だったみたいで、だから日本人の僕としても当時彼女に親しみを覚えたんでしょうね。それでそのコと仲良くなったのです
が、ある日僕の部屋で彼女と2人でスキヤキパーティーをすることになって。その時に彼女が浴室で手を洗う後ろ姿と、娼婦がビデでアソコを洗う姿が僕のアタ
マの中で重なり合っちゃったのがきっかけで、彼女も“儀式”の対象になってしまった。それからは、彼女を部屋に呼ぶたびに背後から銃で狙うようになりまし
た。でもやっぱり、どうしても撃てなくて。ある日、僕の父の会社の社員がパリへ来て、僕を日本料理のレストランに連れて行ってくれたんですよ。その時ちょ
うど熱っぽかったのも相まって僕もどこか病的になっていたのでしょうが、ちょうどその次の日は彼女がうちに来る日だったから、“もしココで刺身を食べてお
なかでも壊してカゼでも引いたら、32年間抱いてきた妄想が実現出来なくなるんじゃないか”ってことが突然気になり出してしまった。
それで、“やらなくちゃいけない”っていう気持ちが更に強くなった……
そう、それで次の日にとうとう彼女に向けて引き金を引いたんです。でもそれが、なんと不発だった。それでもう完全にアタマに血が昇っちゃった僕は、“コレ
はゼッタイにやらなければ”と思ったんです。その2日後に彼女をまた呼んで、例のごとく背後から引き金を引いたら、今度はちゃんとタマが出た。そうして彼
女は、まったく苦しむことなく倒れました。後で司法解剖されて分かりましたが、その銃はそんなに威力の強いモノじゃなかったから、突き抜けることなく彼女
のアタマの中をグルグルと走り回っていたみたい。“大変だ、救急車を呼ばなきゃ!”とかバカなことも考えたりしましたが、ナニをやってるんだと。32年間
抱いてきたモノが今こうして目の前にあるじゃないかと思い直しました。
それでまずはオシリを切り始めたんだけど、いくら切ってもトウモロコシみたいな皮下脂肪ばっかり。ようやく出てきた赤身の肉を指で引きちぎって口の中に入
れたときなんかもう、歴史的瞬間だと思いましたね。でも別に快楽殺人のように、肉を切りながら快楽を感じていたワケではありませんから、このコトを思い出
して話すのはスゴくしんどいんですよ……彼女が死体になっちゃった時も“しまった、大切な友達を亡くしてしまった”と思いましたから。僕がホントに食べた
かったのは“生きた彼女のお肉”だった。みんな信じてくれないけど、彼女を殺すことに真意はなかったんです。“ちょっと味見させてくれればそれで良かった
のに”と今でも思います。例えばもう一晩食事をして彼女の家族の話を聞いてたりしたら、ゼッタイに出来なかったと思う。つまり相手を自分の中で人格化した
ら、もうそういう対象としては見えなくなるんです。だからそれまで娼婦を対象にしていた。それまでもオンナのコの友達は沢山いましたけど、食べようなんて
思ってもみませんよ。それは人格のあるヒトとして見なしてるワケですから。「愛してたから殺して食べたんだろ?」とかよく言われるけど、愛してたらわざわ
ざ殺して食べやしませんよ。

そのときはナマで食べたの?
ほとんどナマですね。最初はオシリに直接カブりついてそのままカジろうと思ったけど、そんなのとんでもないです。人間の皮膚はとても分厚いですから、むし
ろアゴの方が痛くなるくらいで。まあ歯形はつきましたけどね。クリトリスだけは、ちょうどそのとき彼女は月経だったみたいでモノスゴいニオイがしたから、
もう噛めずに陰毛と一緒に飲み込みました。でもそのときは初めて性的な快感というか、体中が燃えるようなカンジがしましたよ。それから、ウシやクジラなん
かだと、獣のニオイがあるでしょ?それがヒトの場合はそういったニオイがまったくないんですよ。だからきっと、あらゆる肉の中でも一番美味しいのがヒトの
肉なんだと思います。とにかくケモノ臭さがない。逮捕される直前に食べたときは、もう数日経ってたせいか、より甘味が増して美味しかったですね。それから
足のウラの肉ってのはクサくてマズかった。いちばん美味しいのはクビの肉です。上半身に行けば行くほど、繊細な味なんです。それから舌。そのまま口から
引っ張り出して噛みました。でもまあ、クビも舌もあんまり肉がありませんから、食べるんだったら太モモですね。
ヒトの肉を喰らうコトでコンプレックスから自分を解放させようとしたのかな?
そんな観念的なモノじゃなくて、あくまでも“フェティッシュ”なんです。食べるというよりはちょっとかじって味見してみたかっただけのことで。だからもち

には通じないし、通じるワケがない。でも“食べたい”と言っても、相手を殺しちゃったらダメですね。それだと、“モノ”になっちゃうから。だから食べるん
だったら、ちゃんと生きているまま食べたい。逆にどうしてみんな、食べたいと思わないのか、この気持ちを共有できないのかが僕にはまったく理解ができない
んですよ。例えば、あなたにそういう願望はないんですか?
……甘ガミぐらいだったらアリかなと思うけど。
そう、みんな同じことを言うんですよ。なんで食べちゃダメなの?ジョルジュ・バタイユも『接吻はカニバリズムの始まりだ』って言ってるけど、相手を味わう
という意味では、食べるのも接吻も同じことでしょ?……でもまあコレは、あまりにも僕的な意見なんでしょうね。
今でもカニバリズムの欲望は残っているの?
全然残ってます。特に6月みたいに女性が肌を見せ始める季節になると、食いたくて食いたくてしょうがなくなっちゃう。今日も、駅へ向かう時にオシリのキレ
イな女性がいたけど、ああいうの見ちゃうと“死ぬまでにもう一度食いたいなぁ”と思っちゃいますね。出来れば日本人の女性を食べてみたい。それからなるべ
く素材の味を活かすためにも、スキヤキとかシャブシャブがイイですね。なので、僕に食べられたい人がいたら是非とも募集して下さい。ただし“若くてキレイ
な女性限定”という条件で。
OK、分かった。今コレを読んでるビューティフルでピチピチな日本人のオンナのコ、彼がキミのコトを食べたいらしい。もし食べられたいと思うコがいたら、
Vice Japanまで応募してくれ。
つまり何を言いたいかというと、今日外ですれちがった女性のオシリや太モモ、ああいったモノを残したままこの世を去るなんて、ゼッタイにイヤだと思うワケ

性はみんな肉にされちゃうじゃないですか。それがマズいから言わないだけで、ホントにウマいのはアレなの。
ヒトの肉以外にも興味あったりするの?例えば排泄物とか。
ウンコは流石にないけど、オシッコと唾液はいつも飲ませてくれるコがいました。まあそのコが結婚してからは流石にムリですけど、それまでは直接僕のアタマ
の上におっ立ってオシッコ飲ませてくれて。それがまた美味しいんですよ、ニオイも少なくて。そのコが赤ちゃんを産んでからもうちに遊びに来てくれてました
が、流石に前みたいなことは出来ないから、オシッコをペットボトルに入れて置いていくんです。でも不思議なことに、もう飲めないんですよ。“赤ちゃんの世
話をするお母さん”という生活感がモノスゴく漂っているからなんでしょうね。ヒドい言い方なんだけど、彼女を女性としてもう見れなくなっちゃったんでしょ
う。
世界中の女性になにかメッセージを送るとしたら?
それこそ、“僕を殺したい女性求む(ただし美しい女性限定)”という募集がしたいですね。それで死ねるんだったら本望ですよ。出来たらモルヒネとか打って
もらって、痛みは感じないようにしてもらって。まあでも、痛いのもむしろ快感かもしれないけど。一気に殺されるんじゃつまらないから、自分の殺されていく
過程をじっくり味わいたい。他にも例えば、“女性の唾液に溺れて死ぬ”とかね。女性の唾液にまみれるなんて、こんなにありがたいことはないじゃないです
か。その中で溺れ死ねたら、コレほどの本望はありませんよ。僕は、ヒトを殺せても自分は殺せない卑怯者ですからね。女性に殺されたら、罪のあがないにもな
るし。
あの時引き金を引いてなかったとしたら、今頃どうしていたと思う?
……僕の年だと、普通だったら子どもが出来ててもおかしくないじゃないですか。なによりも両親に孫の顔を見せられなかったのは、今でも後悔しきれない。な
んであの時、僕は引き金を引いちゃったのか……あの一動作がホントに沢山のいろんなことを変えてしまった。ホントに大きいですよね。ヒトを殺めた瞬間、
“ああ、自分はヒトじゃなくなったんだ”と本能的に思いました。だから死刑にされるのなんか、ある意味救いだと思うんですよ。シャバにいさせられる方が、
それこそよっぽど大変な思いをする。だから、同じことを繰り返すなんてありえない!社会のみんなに監視されて生きていくことがどれだけ苦しいか。死刑でラ
クにさせちゃうのは、それこそ本末転倒というか。被害者のコメントだってみんな同じですよ、「死刑になったからと言って、私は彼を許すことはできない」と
言うでしょ?死刑以上の罰なんてありえないのに。いかに死刑というモノが無意味か。終身刑にしても、刑務所での生活の方が衣食住が確保されてる上に仕事
だってある一方で、世間では職につかなくちゃいけないし、住むところも確保しなきゃならない。コレほどの罰がありますか?ないと思いますよ。
今はどうやって生計を立てているの?
事件以降は物書きとしてやっています。1989年の夏に宮崎勤が幼女連続殺人で捕まったのをきっかけに、ありとあらゆるマスメディアが“宮崎勤の犯行に関

おもしろい。
たしかに、愛してる人の首すじを、においたいっていうのは、
食べたいっていう気持ちと紙一重なんだろうなって。

佐川一政(さがわいっせい 1949年6月11日~)はパリ人肉事件の犯人である。
有名な事件であったが、管理人の世代の人間には事件自体が知られていないので、一応説明しておく。
≪パリ人肉事件≫
1981年6月11日、パリに留学していたオランダ人女性留学生ルネ・ハルテヴェルト(当時25歳)が惨殺遺体で発見された。
遺体はバラバラになっており、トランクに詰められて池に捨てられていた。
遺体発見から2日後、目撃者の証言によって犯人が逮捕された。
犯人の名は佐川一政(当時32歳)。パリに留学していた日本人だった。
佐川はまずルネを射殺した後に屍姦をし、その後遺体の一部を食べていた。
これがパリ人肉事件の概要である。
とはいっても、報道の規制で日本ではしばらく公になることはなかった。
佐川一成は身長148Cm、体重35Kgという小柄で痩せている32歳の学生であった。
神戸市出身で和光大学人文学部文学科卒業、76年関西学院大学大学院英文学専攻修士課程修了、
80年にはパリ第3大学大学院の修士課程を修了し、パリのサンシエ校で研究を行っていた。
エリートコースをまっしぐらで幸せな人生を進んでいると思えるが、彼には顔と身長のコンプレックスがあった。
また、彼自身の著書には、小学生に上がる前から食人に興味があったという。
パリでも食人行為を抑えるために宿に売春婦を呼び、欲望を異なる方向に向けていたという。
そして1981年に佐川は同じ大学のルネ・ハルテヴェルトと出会う。
彼は彼女にドイツ語の朗読のアルバイトを頼み、なんどか部屋に招く間柄にはなっていたが、性的交渉は無かった。
しかし、数度目の訪問時に彼のストレスが爆発したらしい。
彼は猟銃でルネを射殺。夢の一歩、衣服を脱がせ屍姦を成し遂げたのだ。
写真を撮り、バスルームで遺体を解体。そして乳房などを切り取り調理し食べたのである。
逮捕された後の彼の部屋には、後で食べようとした人肉が冷蔵庫に保管されていたという。
公判が始まると佐川は犯行を自供したが、心身喪失の精神病ということで不起訴処分となり無罪が確定する。
精神病院を退院すると日本に強制送還され、作家になり本を出版したりして生活をしていた。
現在でも作家やコメンテーターとして時々テレビ等公の場に姿を見せている。
“衣服はシャンゼリゼ通り沿いのゴミ箱に捨てたが、下着だけは取っておいた”
“トウモロコシのような黄色をして、マグロの刺身のようにやわらかかった”
“生きていてすみません”
社会的制裁が不充分でしょーこれは。
今ものうのうと生きているんだから、コイツは!
