Tsuyama Massacre[]

Tsuyama Massacre (津山事件) served as the inspiration of the 33 murdered legend that made Kyoya Suda go to Hanuda in first place[3]; eventhough the massacre happened in reality it happened in the Kamo (加茂) village (in Okayama, close to Tsuyama)[4], the 21st of May 1938. Where he killed 31 persons including himself.

Mutsuo Toi cut the electricity line to the village of Kamo on the evening of 20 May, which left the community in darkness. At around 1:30 am on 21 May, he killed his 76-year-old grandmother by decapitating her with an axe. Then he strapped two flashlights to his head and prowled through the village entering the homes of his neighbours. He killed 29 neighbours (27 of whom died at the scene of the incident, while two others were fatally wounded, dying of their injuries later) and seriously injured three others in about an hour and half using a Browning shotgun, a Japanese sword and an axe. This was almost half of the residents of the small community. At dawn he committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest.
