Kazutaka Komori
Kazutaka Komori was a Japanese political ultranationalist activist and a member of a right-wing Uyoku dantai group close to Satoshi Akao. In 1960, at the age of 17, Komori went to the home of prominent Tokyo publisher Hoji Shimanaka with the intent to kill him in retribution for a fiction story by Shichirō Fukazawa printed in one of Shimanaka's magazines that described the overthrow and murder of the Japanese Imperial family. Shimanaka was not at home but Komori murdered a maid and stabbed the publisher's wife.
Komori was later tried as an adult and sentenced to 15 years in prison. This murder and the assassination of Inejiro Asanuma by Otoya Yamaguchi led to the arrest of Satoshi Akao in 1961. Komori died in prison in 1971.
