Kaito Murakami

**Kaito the Kaiju** (September 4, 1983 - July 26, 2022) was a Japanese born member of the Yakuza and convicted serial killer, known to have murdered 61 people but may have murdered more.

#### Early Life

Kaito was born to Hatsumomo and Kosuke Murakami in Kyoto, Japan on September 4, 1983. Hatsumomo was a firefighter and Kosuke was an army enlistee. He was a destructive child, breaking sex toys, dishwashers, and other kids' noses. He assaulted 7 people during his school career. His behavior led to his parents' divorce. His mother married Shinji Kato, who had 2 children.

#### His Criminal Start

Murakami started his criminal life by robbing the Johnson Trust Bank and Cardinal Trust Bank, which got him a total of $35,740. He then stole a Chevy Silverado, kidnapped his stepbrother Tokutaro Kato, and threw Tokutaro off Tojinbo cliff. That year, he also joined the Murakami yakuza family. He attempted to rob Cardinal Trust Bank again but was unsuccessful. He tried to evade the police but was captured and sentenced life imprisonment in Kyoto Supermax Prison for armed robbery, racketeering, and running from the police. Kaito escaped later that year.

Before long, Murakami was back to his Yakuza family. He committed his 2nd murder on July 12, 1998. Yoko Ohtani was the owner of the Kikuchi Supermarket in Kyoto. He was thrown into a woodchipper when he refused to give $25,000 to Kaito. This started a 9 yearlong massacre of 61 murders.
