The patient undergoes PCI at a regional hospital in Japan.
Later analysis of the images suggests a coronary artery perforation occurred during the procedure.
27 August 2010 – Critical Deterioration and Hidden Cardiac Tamponade
The patient’s condition suddenly becomes critical.
The physician knows he is in cardiac tamponade but does not tell the family.
Instead, the family is told to prepare for “end-of-life” care and is guided toward accepting his death.
The family objects: “If the PCI was successful, this clinical course is impossible. Please treat him properly.”
That night, the hospital performs a life-saving pericardiocentesis without contacting the family or obtaining consent.
The next day, the procedure is explained to the family only as a past event, in a “by the way, we did this last night” manner.
12 September 2010 – Death in Hospital
Despite temporary improvement after pericardiocentesis, the patient’s condition worsens again.
He dies in the hospital on 12 September 2010.
From the beginning, the clinical course recorded by the hospital does not match what would be expected after a “successful” PCI. The family requested a judicial autopsy.
2010–2012 – False Autopsy, Forged Documents, and Early Legal Attempts
Late 2010 – Suspicious “Judicial Autopsy” and Death Documents
Police deliver a “judicial autopsy report” to the family.
The report denies hemothorax, perforation, and procedure-related injury, despite the clinical and imaging evidence.
A death certificate is issued by the hospital that labels the cause of death as a natural disease.
A death notification is submitted in the family member’s name, even though she never wrote or submitted such a form.
A receipt for “judicial autopsy fees” is also later found to be falsified.
2010–2012 – Independent Checking of Documents
Over roughly two years, the family carefully examines medical records, official documents, and statements.
They identify inconsistencies in handwriting, impossible medical descriptions, and missing forensic materials.
By around 2012, the family has strong grounds to believe the so-called judicial autopsy was never actually performed.
October 2010–January 2012 – Lawyer Consultations
First lawyer consultation: October 2010.
Fourth (and final) consultation: January 2012.
Despite the seriousness of the case, legal approaches do not progress toward resolution.
By 2012, the family concludes that resolution through conventional domestic legal channels is unlikely.
2011–2016 – Domestic Media Outreach Without Effective Response
Media Contact Attempts
From May 2011, the family begins contacting Japanese media organizations by email, phone, and postal mail.
Requests for investigation and coverage continue until March 2016.
Despite repeated efforts, there is no meaningful response or investigative reporting.
2018–2019 – Anonymous Whistleblowing Attempts via Tor and SecureDrop
2018 – Domestic Media via Anonymous Email
The family uses Tails, Tor, and an anonymous email account (Tutanota) to contact domestic media, including Asahi Shimbun, Shūkan Kinyōbi, and Waseda Chronicle.
Two separate attempts are made, but no response is received.
2019 – Overseas Media via SecureDrop
Using public Wi-Fi, Tails, Tor, and SecureDrop, the family twice submits materials to overseas investigative outlets (The Guardian, The New York Times, The Intercept, etc.).
Again, there is no response from any of the organizations contacted.
2020–2022 – Temporary Pause and New Harassment
2020 – Suspension of Activities
After years of unanswered efforts, whistleblowing activities are temporarily suspended.
2021 – Attempt to Return to Ordinary Life
The decision is made to step away from the case and focus on personal life, including marriage.
2022 – Discovery of Harassment Related to Marriage Activities
Harassment and interference in marriage activities are discovered.
This indicates that pressure and monitoring have continued even after the apparent pause in whistleblowing.
The discovery becomes a trigger to resume efforts to expose the case.
2022–2024 – Online Whistleblowing and Apparent Suppression
Whistleblowing Website and Social Media
A detailed Japanese whistleblowing website about the case is created and published.
From 2023, the case is also described on X (Twitter), note, and in YouTube videos.
Despite the gravity of the allegations and the volume of evidence, page views and video plays remain extremely low.
The pattern gives the strong impression that the content is being suppressed or down-ranked.
2025 – New Phase: Technical Countermeasures and International Strategy
Consultation with AI and New Direction
From May 2025, systematic consultation with AI (ChatGPT) begins.
The focus shifts to:
building secure communication paths,
using overseas VPS hosting,
distributing the site via IPFS,
creating .onion mirrors, and
preparing materials for international NGOs and investigative journalists.
The case enters a stage where it can be presented to the international community with a complete, well-structured archive.
