Mutsuo Toi cut the electricity line to the village of Kamo on the evening of 20 May, which left the community in darkness. At around 1:30 a.m. on 21 May 1938 , he killed his 76-year-old grandmother by decapitating her with an axe in her sleep.
Armed with a modified shotgun, a katana, an axe, several daggers and 200 rounds of ammunition, he strapped two flashlights to his head and prowled through the village, entering the homes of his neighbors.
He killed 29 neighbors and seriously injured three others in about an hour and a half. This was almost half of the residents of the small community.
At dawn he committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest on a nearby mountain
It is the deadliest shooting by a lone gunman in Japanese history
From his suicide notes it appears that the young women in the village rejected his sexual advances
