As readers are well aware, the attacks against Kenji Akutagawa since May 2011 have been utterly beyond the pale.
Although I endured a hospitalization lasting seven months, thanks to physicians educated at Kyoto University’s Faculty of Medicine and the outstanding nurses, I made a full recovery and was discharged.
A lawyer who had formerly been a prosecutor and thus knew better than anyone what the prosecution service truly was, and who loathed the internet as one would loathe a poisonous snake, fell speechless the moment he saw the search result pages that were the outcome of this man’s attacks, exclaiming, “This is atrocious!” The course of events leading to this is already known to readers.
The police station in charge performed admirably, and after more than a year and a half, the case was referred to the public prosecutors’ office. (At the same time, it is also a fact that this man’s malicious acts were left unchecked for that entire period.) The man admitted that everything was his own doing.
Nevertheless, as readers know, the prosecutors ultimately decided not to indict.
One of the actions this man began undertaking was the manipulation of search results related to images associated with Kenji Akutagawa.
Until that point, only photographs taken by me appeared, but suddenly, at the top of the image results, a photograph of a man wearing glasses—completely unrelated to me, that is, completely unrelated to Kenji Akutagawa—was inserted, presumably to make searchers believe that this person was Kenji Akutagawa. In addition, two illustrations resembling those from vulgar anime sites, entirely unrelated to either Kenji Akutagawa or The Turntable of Civilization, were also inserted.
The number of searches for Kenji Akutagawa, which had once reached the millions, has now fallen to the level of mere tens of thousands.
If this cannot be called stalking, or an act of extraordinarily persistent evil, then what should it be called?
