A Japanese woman who was brutally stabbed dead while live streaming has been identified for more than 6,000 people as an influencer who was the target of one of her followers.
The Japanese streamer Airi Sato, 22, was attached to death on Tuesday after a crazy man attacked her with a knife and put her in the neck, head and chest while thousands looked.
Little is known about the private life of Sato, but sources claim that the influencer has made content since she was in high school.
Her content focused on her daily 'real life'. She had filmed herself in a video entitled '3.11 Walking around the Yamanote Line' while she was the well -known railway service circkelde.
The young streamer was reportedly killed by 42-year-old Kenichi Takano, who was arrested in the horrible crime scene in the Shinjuku district in Tokyo.
Police sources told local media that Takano spoke to Sato after he had recognized the buildings at the back of her video.
He later told the police that he had borrowed Sato a 'substantial sum of money' – around $ 17,000 USD – and never refunded, Tokyohive reported.
The 42-year-old was introduced to Sato in 2021 through her live streams.

Over time, their relationship received a financial dimension, in which Sato often asked for loans under different circumstances, claiming that she had forgotten her wallet, had lost access to her funds or needed urgent financial help.
Messages exchanged between the two suggest that these requests escalated, in which Sato borrowed small amounts before requesting larger amounts, according to the outlet.
Although Takano offers financial support, the reimbursement has never been released. He eventually took legal action and won a lawsuit for the outstanding debt.
Even with the pronunciation, no payments were made.
The unsolved financial dispute seems to have deepened the frustration of Takano, which has led to the alleged violent escalation.
Later it was revealed that Takano had borrowed from loan authorities to finance his financial support from the IRL influencer.
Takano said he felt manipulated, with a series of justifications that Sato had used to apply for money, in messages between him and his aquaintances, as seen by Tokyohive.
The 22-year-old maker was reportedly online at the Japanese live streaming platform, Whowatch, when the fatal attack took place.
