SICK as hell! And this dude runs around in japan ? As a free man ??? How the devil is this possible ? And made and still makes money out of this ??? Thank you for sharing your work but somehow I feel ashamed as well reading this…
Hi I’ve been researching about Sagawa and i found he wrote some other books and he has acted in some movies as well but it’s difficult (not to say impossible) to find them… do you have any of those apart from “in the fog”?
Thank you very much.
Hi Jennifer,
I just did a quick Japanese Amazon search and came up with a few titles (all in Japanese). One is called “Gouka” (業火), which means hellfire or brimstone, another has the added English title “Paris Cannibal Massacre,” yet another is called “Kyouki ni Arazu” (狂気にあらず!?), which I’m guessing means “Far from Insane,” and has the subtitle “Paris Human Flesh Incident,” and another is called “Kyou – Cannibal” (“Kyou” here means “feast”). Some have been joint efforts with famed British writer Colin Wilson.
Sagawa has turned his crime into a mini industry. He sometimes appears on Japanese TV following some horrific incident to give his opinion as an expert. Ironically, he was spotted a few years back at an anti-Afghanistan war demo calling for the United States to “stop killing innocent people.”
According to his Wiki page, he has had 13 of his own books published and three joint works, two with Wilson.
Here’s the Amazon Japan list.

He also seems to have appeared in a few films, including the soft porn flick お天気お姉さん (Otenki Oneesan), translated into English as “Weather Woman.” http://www.sarudama.com/japanese_movies/weather_woman.shtml
Hope that helps.
