025 The 1980 Nagoya University Student Kidnapping and Murder Case

In December 1980, in Nagoya, Japan, 22-year-old university student A was abducted and murdered by 30-year-old sushi shop employee Shuji Kimura. Kimura lured A under the pretense of an English tutoring job, then kidnapped and strangled her. He disposed of her body by throwing it into the Kiso River from the Kiso River Bridge on the Tōmei Hanshin Expressway. Subsequently, Kimura contacted A's family multiple times, demanding a ransom of 30 million yen. He was arrested in January 1981, convicted of kidnapping for ransom, murder, and corpse abandonment, and sentenced to death in 1987. Kimura was executed in December 1995. This case, the 106th ransom kidnapping in post-war Japan, garnered significant public attention due to the victim's status as a student at a prestigious local women's university and the extensive media coverage.
