Japanese Pop Star Mayu Tomita Stabbed by Fan Multiple Times
Japanese pop star Mayu Tomita is currently in critical condition after a male fan stabbed her more than two dozen times on Saturday, May 20. The Japan Times identified the man as Tomohiro Iwazaki, who attacked the 20-year-old singer with a knife after she reportedly refused to accept his gift.
Tomita, who had a performance scheduled in Koganei in western Toyko the night of the attack, suffered injuries in the neck and chest. As of now, she has not regained consciousness. The Metropolitan Police Department said Iwazaki, 27, was a stalker who Tomita suspected had been sending her multiple messages on Twitter and her blog.
