Japanese streamer Ai Mogami tragically died after being stabbed during a live broadcast. The incident was reported by Anime x News.
While streaming a walk through Tokyo’s Shinjuku district on the Japanese platform Whowatch, Mogami was attacked by a man in his 40s. Around 6,500 viewers witnessed the assault as he inflicted multiple stab wounds. After she collapsed, the attacker reportedly asked, “Are you dead yet?”.
Police quickly arrested the suspect. He identified himself to authorities as a hater of the streamer. However, the precise motive for the attack is still under investigation. Unconfirmed reports in the media suggest the assailant may have been a former donor seeking a refund of a large donation.
