Saki Sato, 23, was said to have amputated her lover, 21, in a fit of jealous rage in their apartment in Osaka in October after finding an unfamiliar number in his phone contacts
An obsessive girlfriend allegedly took brutal action to stop her boyfriend from leaving her - by cutting off his nipple and ring finger to keep him from marrying other women.
Saki Sato, 23, was said to have flown into a jealous fit of rage after finding an unfamiliar number in her 21-year-old lover's phone. The cosplayer reportedly purchased an axe online and severed the joint of his ring finger in their apartment in Osaka in October. She then stashed the severed digit away in a glass jar in their refrigerator - and was only caught when her terrified partner called police to report her for assault in January.

Police stormed the apartment in Kita City and found the man with a badly beaten face. He told officers Saki had placed his finger in an alcohol-filled container and stored it in the fridge. A search of the premises verified his claim.
Police then found a series of disturbing photos on Saki's phone, including one of her humiliated boyfriend crying as he bled from his left nipple, and another of the severed finger.
Saki was charged with three counts of assault and was formally indicted on April 21. Investigators said the boyfriend had been charmed by Saki's seemingly sweet and innocent looks in her online photos. They began dating in May and moved in together in July 2024.
But as their relationship progressed, the man eventually learned of Saki's violent and controlling nature. While living together, the victim claimed Saki took total control - confiscating both his bankbook and phone, and forcing him to ask for permission to use them.
Despite the alleged abuse, the boyfriend, afflicted with Stockholm Syndrome, said he chose to stay "because Saki was too beautiful to leave behind". He claimed he had agreed to having his nipple removed with scissors when she proposed that "a man's nipple will grow back if you cut it off".
‌
Saki, who has posted several photos of herself in various cosplaying costumes, reportedly works at a popular cabaret club in Osaka, known for its maid-themed cafes and anime culture. Her profile states that her ideal man was "someone who listens to everything she says".
She has denied the charges, claiming her boyfriend had inflicted self-harm instead.
