Kyoto Animation fire: Arson attack at Japan anime studio kills 33
18 July 2019
Kyoto Animation offices on fire
At least 33 people died and dozens were injured after a man set fire to an animation studio in the Japanese city of Kyoto, officials say.
Police said the 41-year-old suspect broke into the Kyoto Animation studio on Thursday morning and sprayed petrol before igniting it.
The suspect has been detained and was taken to hospital with injuries.
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the incident was "too appalling for words" and offered condolences.
It is one of Japan's worst mass casualty incidents since World War Two.
The fire broke out at the three-storey building at about 10:30 local time (01:35 GMT) on Thursday. Rescue operations are still ongoing.
Firefighters said they had found 33 bodies, two on the first floor, 11 on the second floor and 20 on the stairs from the third floor to the top floor, he said.
Some 36 people are in hospital, some in a critical condition, reports say. About 70 people were in the building when the fire started.
Japanese media reports said a man in his 40s had earlier bought 40 litres (nine gallons) of petrol at a nearby petrol station. Two containers used for the fuel were later found at the scene of the fire, Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported.
A GoFundMe campaign titled "Help KyoAni Heal" has also been started, with more than $300,000 (£240,000) raised in six hours.
Voiceover artist SungWon Cho - who works on anime films - was among those to react.
Pray for the victims and the family members of Kyoto Animation

The water is alive. Once you dive in, it will immediately bear its fangs and attack. But, there's nothing to fear. ... Unless you mess with it.
The damage is impossible to measure, but fire can't win against water.
I hope the absolute idiot who caused this incident got a good taste of his disgusting victory while he could, because I believe that when justice is made, regret won't be the only thing haunting him for the rest of his life. ,
P.S in case you didn't know, the symbol on his chest is the symbol on Kyoto's prefecture flag.

Sorry for not being so active lately, I was busy with anime conventions, and then I got sick!
I came back to post this quick colored sketch drawing, and I'm finishing my commissions!
This is a tribute to KyoAni studio!

Kyoto Animation: "No matter what excuse the suspect could give for his actions, no matter what kind of words of remorse for the results he could state, there is no bringing back our colleagues whose lives were snatched away, and no healing for our injured colleagues."
Apparently they waited to arrest the arsonist, because he had medical injuries and has now recovered enough for arrest.
Don’t forget #PrayForKyoAni.
