The 43-year-old male suspect Yoshitaka Toda confessed that he committed the crime in order to let the public see the consequences of "over-education".
When asked about the motive for the crime, he said that because his parents placed too much emphasis on education, he dropped out of school and suffered a lot. "I was abused by my parents' education, which led to me not going to school."
He added, "I want to let those parents who are determined to send their children to the University of Tokyo know that if they educate their children too much, their children will go astray and eventually commit crimes like me."
He chose to commit the crime at "Todai-mae Station" because "the word Todai is in the station name, and I think it is easy to associate it with educational abuse."
As for the young man who happened to be a student at the University of Tokyo, Toda admitted that he did not know the victim at all, "I just happened to be nearby, so I chose him as the target."
Yoshitaka Toda even said, "As long as I can convey my ideas to society, it doesn't matter whether the other party is dead or alive."
So far, he has not shown any remorse.
