Masahiro Kanagawa (金川 真大, Kanagawa Masahiro, 1983 – February 21, 2013) was a Japanese man who went on a stabbing spree in the city of Tsuchiura on March 23, 2008, which left a 27-year-old man dead and seven others wounded. Police arrested Kanagawa, then 24, who was wanted in an earlier slaying of a 72-year-old man. The man told the investigators that he "just wanted to kill anyone".[1] The suspect, who carried two knives, stabbed the 27-year-old man to death and hurt at least seven others, while the victims were walking along a short hallway connecting Arakawaoki Station.[2] The 27-year-old died as he was being rushed to a nearby hospital.[3] Police said that Kanagawa liked games and that he hid out in Akihabara while escaping.[4] Some media outlets claimed that he murdered people under the influence of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword.[5] He reportedly sought capital punishment.[2] Tomohiro Katō, who committed the Akihabara massacre, is alleged to have posted a message which referred to his case.[6]
