About 6,500 fans watching the live broadcast were shocked to see it.
According to Japanese media, including the Japan Times, a murder occurred near the Takadanobaba train station in Tokyo's Shinjuku district at around 9:50 a.m. on the 11th.
The victim was a 22-year-old woman named Sato Iri, who was filming a live social media broadcast at the time.
For a moment, a gunman came running and started attacking her with a weapon. The victim was stabbed dozens of times in the head, neck, and chest.
Viewers were surprised by Sato's screams in the middle of the broadcast and witnessed the attack through a fallen camera.
Sato was taken to a hospital, but died shortly after.
The culprit arrested at the scene was Kenichi Takano, a 42-year-old man, who said "I didn't mean to kill him."
According to police, he lent money to the deceased Sato back in 2022.
He claimed that he borrowed money from a loan company and sent more than 2 million yen (about 20 million won) in response to her request for living expenses and mobile phone bills.
He "I've been asking for my money back since January last year, but she ignored it. So I decided to attack to scare him," he added.
He was then found to have attacked Sato while hiding after watching a preview video of him hosting a live broadcast in Shinjuku.
