A schoolteacher by day, Rapeman is a character who avenges spurned men by raping the women who rejected them. The Rapeman videos are freely available in video shops along with a plethora of other rape fantasies depicting bound and gagged women on their covers. Violent rape imagery is also prevalent in adult comics, known as manga , which are openly read by office workers on commuter trains, as well as in television dramas and magazines. Naomi Tagima of the Tokyo Rape Crisis Centre has stated that she has no doubt that manga leads directly to rape. Includes violence, rapes, and revenge.
