Brawl involving 100 customers breaks out at Tokyo skyscraper restaurant
Japan Today ^ | October 16, 2022 | Kyodo

Posted on 10/16/2022 5:39:16 PM PDT by chajin

Police were called to a restaurant in a Tokyo skyscraper Sunday after a mass brawl broke out among a group of some 100 customers who had booked out the venue.

Most of the people had left when officers arrived at the modern French restaurant on the 58th floor of the landmark Sunshine 60 tower in the Ikebukuro district, with just a man who had suffered a minor head injury and some others still there, the police said.

No arrests have been made but investigations continue, they said, adding the scene was littered with broken beer bottles and glasses.

A restaurant clerk made an emergency call around 6:30 p.m. after the group started eating and drinking around 6:00 p.m. and suddenly got into a fight, they said. There were no other customers other than members of the group.

Their background and cultural heritage are a bit complicated. The group members are Japanese nationals, the second or third generations of Japanese war orphans who were abandoned and raised in China at the time of war end. Those orphans as well as their kids were born and growing up in China, some may be “half” with Chinese and Japanese parents, and accompanied their Japanese parents going “home” to Japan. Many are unable to speak Japanese.

Did we import MORONS to Japan? If we did sorry. If the Japanese are not polite because they saw us being rude, sorry...

What's next for Japan, late Trains??

to a Japanese, one is either 100% Japanese and non-burakumin, or an outsider.

I read a US Navy Intelligence report from 1942, arguing against locking up Japanese Nationals, and US Citizens of Japanese Ancestry. It admitted that there were some immigrants still loyal to Japan, but asserted that the vast majority were not, and those had given the FBI ample in formation about those who were not to be trusted.

One comment that struck me was that the most absolutely, fervently, loyal to the US subpart of that population was those who had been sent to Japan to complete their education. To a man and woman they found that the undoubted discrimination they had experienced in the US, for being of Japanese extraction, was dwarfed to insignificance by the discrimination they had experienced in Japan for not being 100% Japanese. Apparently the Japanese understood that Gaijin could not help being Gaijin, but they had a special loathing for people with Japanese names and faces who were not 100% Japanese.

Ikebukuro is normally for the ‘younger’ scene.. and the Sunshine buildings are pretty far away from the station, so I am suspecting there were few, if no, tourists there...
