A 53-year-old man was sent a document for voyeurizing an animated movie based on the popular manga "Kimetsu no Yaiba" with a mobile phone at a movie theater in Chiba City.
The document was sent to a 53-year-old self-proclaimed office worker who lives in Chuo-ku, Chiba.
According to police investigation, the man played the movie "Theatrical Version" Kimetsu no Yaiba "Infinite Train Edition" that was screened at the movie theater "Keisei Rosa 10" in Chuo-ku, Chiba City last December for about 30 minutes on his mobile phone. There is a suspicion of violating the law on prevention of movie voyeurism and copyright law for voyeurism over the years.
The man admitted to the police investigation, stating, "I took a cool scene and decided to review it myself later."
Organizations made at movie theaters nationwide broadcast a campaign video prohibiting voyeurism on the screen before the film is shown to inform the audience of the law.
"Theatrical version" Kimetsu no Yaiba "Infinite Train Edition" became the number one movie in history for which box office revenue was screened in Japan, but according to the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters, this work was voyeurized at a movie theater. It is the first time in the whole country to be caught as.
