   Issei Sagawa murdered an innocent woman and spent three days eating her flesh.

"Maybe if we'd had dinner once more, I wouldn't have eaten her."

   On the afternoon of June 13, 1981, a Japanese man named Issei Sagawa walked to a park on the outskirts of Paris, carrying two suitcases. The contents of those suitcases was the dismembered body of a fellow student -- a Dutch woman named Renée Hartevelt, whom Sagawa had shot three days prior and had spent the days since eating various parts of her body. 

 "I put my most favorite parts, like the thigh in the fridge."

8 fingered Kenbo w/ Eng subs

 Kenbo is a local celebrity in Okinawa.

   Kenbo wasn't always the smiling, good natured Buddha-like character he is today. For eight years he was a member of one of Japan's Yakuza syndicates. His two missing pinky fingers reveal a troubled past consisting of alcohol, drug abuse, fights, and gambling.

 

   After getting ex-communicated from his Yakuza clan, he eventually turned his life around with the help of his love for Okinawan music - the Sanshin in particular, which is like a banjo with three strings.
