Tomohiro Kojiri (小尻知博) was an Asahi Shimbun reporter shot on 3 May 1987 by a Japanese rightist with a shotgun.[1][2] One of his colleagues, Hyoe Inukai, then 42, was also shot and seriously inured.[1] Kojiri was 29 years old when he died the next morning.[1] A rightist group calling itself a special unit "Sekihōtai"(赤報隊) of the "Japanese Independent Volunteer Army" (日本民族独立義勇軍) sent typed letters to Japanese media, claiming it carried out the murder and threatening to kill other "anti-Japanese elements" in the media.[3][4][5] The murder was still unsolved when the 15-year statute of limitations expired in 2002,[6][7] yet the Japanese police told the press that it would continue the investigation[8]. Asahi Shimbun still holds a memorial for him every year.[9] The attack is known in Japan as the Asahi Shimbun Hanshin Bureau Attack ().
