His Vice interview is interesting and a little bit sad. He talks about having no real choice but to make a living off of his crime by being a novelty. There's a really uncomfortable scene where they show one of the porn films he was involved in, where he had sex with a girl, then sat her down on camera and showed her pictures of his victim's mutilated corpse. Her voice gets all shaky and she tears up.

After being held for two years he was declared insane in France and was ordered to be committed into a mental institution. They had him deported back to Japan and once he got into an institution there, they declared him sane and said that perversion was the driving force behind the killing. Charges in France were dropped and the Japanese couldn't get a hold of the court documents and thus couldn't legally detain him.
